Halloween Reading: Consumption Week | The End of Eaters | AstraDaemon

EATERS: RESURRECTION by Michelle DePaepe is the third book in a zombie trilogy with a blend of horror and science fiction. Cheryl began this nightmare as an insurance agent, returning from a camping trip to discover a waking nightmare unfolding around her. From one book to the next, she adapted and evolved, much like the infected, but Cheryl continued to struggle between what she wanted for herself and what she wanted for her fellow survivors.

In this third and final installment, the storyline picks up moments after the escape from Sedona. The secrets of O.N.E., as well as the secrets of several main characters, are revealed across emotionally devastating scenes. Cheryl and her group hit rock bottom and lose hope, after they discover they have been betrayed and lied to by more than one person throughout their journey. Some of the remaining survivors are so traumatized, they remain broken, and the fate of the infected is one of the most disturbing outcomes I've ever read.

This book series deserves far more props than it has received, and I encourage both zombiephiles and horror fans in general to read these novels before 2020 delivers another throat punch. Seriously, if you're looking for something to set the mood for Halloween or just looking for a way to get your mind off everything else, this is the way.

As always,
AstraDaemon
