A book about a zombie apocalypse? Definitely count me in! This is my kind of genre, so I'll definitely check this book out to find out how Ryan and co fare in this chaotic world.

In any other genre, a story that is described as "a book full of intrigue, action, and suspense that keeps you glued to the pages" would have me very excited, but as it is, I was left quite disturbed both by the cover and title. Add also that I really dislike Sci-Fi/Fantasy, so it is not surprising that I prefer to skip it. Sorry and congrats!

Congratulations 🎉 to the Author the review is full interesting to read more about this book but I don't like reading books that contains gay contents nor to read Sci Fi books. from the review of the book by Michael Valentine the book is well edited, there's nothing he has disliked from the beginning of the story. I will recommend it to those who love reading romance books and zombies best regards

The slow unveiling of the viral outbreak's origins and the fraying of humanity in the face of catastrophe make for a compelling, multi-layered narrative. A fresh, intelligent take on the apocalyptic genre.

Loved this review but after the first two paragraphs you notice the lack of a professional tone.

Unfortunately, I have not read the prequel to this book. However, I am still intrigued how Ryan and his loved ones would manage to survive given that they not only have zombies to avoid but other men as well who wish to rule above all other men.

I'm a fan of fictional stories but I just can't stand zombies, so this is not the right book for me. Nonetheless, I appreciate that the author included scientific elements in the story. Congrats on BOTD!

It's crazy how humans can turn on each other whenever faced with a problem like this. Seeing Ryan and his companions face these challenges could be interesting to read about. Congrats on botd!!

Dead Reckoning: Book Two of The Nights of the Apocalypse Series, by David K. Hall, is a book full of intrigue, action, and suspense that is a page turner, excited for what is set to happen and is temporarily free on Amazon. This includes science fiction and horror with aspects of zombie apocalypse. I like that the author also touches about strong masculine gay characters in this interesting read. I will go back and read book one before continuing on with this book since I don't want to miss anything. Congratulations to the author for BOTD and thank you for the amazing review.

The state of anarchy sounds really intense. Zombie apocalypse tropes aren't my favorite. I hope this book has offer any new plot twists. I'm glad you enjoyed the story so much that you wouldn't mind reading it again. highly recommended for fans of suspenseful thriller and unconventional romance, I guess. Thank you for the compelling review.

Hmmm, I've never seen a situation where people resort to violence and it ended well for the parties involved, instead it leads to more heartbreak and havoc. I don't like zombies novels, so I'll just pass on this one. Regardless, big congratulations to the author.
