A Couple More to Add to the List

A couple more to add to my list of books when I thought that I hadn't read anything lately. Neither of these books are part of my 50 book challenge. I was getting run down on the list, even though I'm so close to finishing and I needed a break so I just grabbed a couple of books that seemed interesting.




From Goodreads.com:

Nyx hates Zombies. Seriously. Hates. Zombies. Ever since she was a youngling, she's been haunted by them. And even though she's a big girl now—a half-human, half-Drow private eye, to be precise—Nyx bristles at the mere thought of the walking dead. Meanwhile, the corpses of humans and paranorms alike are turning up all over New York City. Now it's up to Nyx to find out who—or what—is behind this series of horrific attacks. But it's only a matter of time before Nyx is drawn deeper into her darkest fears...and her worst nightmare about meeting a real, flesh-and-blood-hungry, body-snatching Zombie comes blindingly to life. Or death...


My take:

2 out of 5 stars. Elves, zombies, vampires...not my cup of tea.



From Goodreads.com:

Shaun Mason is a man without a mission. Not even running the news organization he built with his sister has the same urgency as it used to. Playing with dead things just doesn't seem as fun when you've lost as much as he has.


But when a CDC researcher fakes her own death and appears on his doorstep with a ravenous pack of zombies in tow, Shaun has a new found interest in life. Because she brings news-he may have put down the monster who attacked them, but the conspiracy is far from dead.
Now, Shaun hits the road to find what truth can be found at the end of a shotgun.

My take:

4 out of 5 stars. I liked this one much better then the first book in the series, Feed. I found Shaun to be a more interesting character then his sister Georgia. Georgia still plays a big part in this book despite the fact that she died in Feed. I thought it was in interesting dynamic to have her as the voice of reason inside Shauns head.
