The idea of the story is good, but the author tends to restate the same over and over…not actually thinking through. Spoiler-grandpa is going to die of cancer…he actually dies saving his family. Ben, main character tells his children after the death…he was dying…nothing specific so son Joel says what are you saying…or something like..
The only good thing about this selection was that I didn’t spend any credits to listen to it. Even as a freebie, however, it was unbearable. Other reviewers have said all that needs to be said about the narrator’s lethargic and ponderous reading style. It was made somewhat better by increasing the playback speed. Now..

I made it’s the third book in this series with the hope that the character would become in not only less entangled with I love all of the beings that have been. I’ve been trying to kill him since the very beginning. What the writer calls powers? And in the very thin, hope that the..
One of the worst plots ever experienced. So much build up to end with holes in the story and a boring anticlimactic ending.

The story was good, but predictable. Understanding Japanese pronunciation would have made the narration better.
Review from The Lost Reclaimed →
The book was overwritten to the point of exhaustion. I couldn’t care less about most of the characters and the main storyline of the series was barely progressed. Just like in the last 3 entries the author insists on explaining every ability over multiple chapters and then further explaining when they are used. Please give..
The writing is predictable and cliche. Characters are one-dimensional. Zombies are background noise from page 1. There isn’t much I can say that’s positive for this book.
Having previously enjoyed Mike Kraus’s Flashpoint series I decided to give this a shot. It started out well enough, but by book three it was getting boring. Characters are introduced but then skipped over and the big drama from the previous books gets resolved off screen with zero satisfaction considering the angst that’s been building..
So much dirty language. I saw Grace Hamilton’s name and have loved many of her books, so I purchased it, but couldn’t stomach all the cussing to even listen to a couple chapters. The books I have listened to of hers has been good and somewhat clean but this was bad.
