Title: FATAL
Author: T.A. Brock

goodreads...
Zombies eat brains: wrong.
Zombies are mindless and unthinking: nope.
Zombies are rotting bags of flesh: not
necessarily.
Zombies kill humans: never... well, there is that
one exception.
Grayson Patch hasn’t been human since he was
seventeen years old… and that was nineteen years ago. When he rose from the
dead that night, a Zombie, he had no memory of his former life, a craving for
raw flesh, and only one purpose: to find a cure. He wishes only to be human
again and he is promised that it is possible. But first he must find the human
that can help him before he begins to decompose… and trade her life for his. As
he learns more about her, he just doesn't know if he can do it. Can he? When
the cost of being human again is to become a monster?
My take...
FATAL is not your typical Zombie story. In a way
it reminded me of a cross between TWILIGHT and TASTE by Kate Evangelista. You
have the romance that shouldn't be...hence TWILIGHT (oh don’t forget the
brooding male lead). And then you have the Zombies that live right under your
nose (ones that actually look like a regular human)...hence TASTE.
There was some things that I had a problem with.
The author really didn't explain well the whole concept of what these zombies
were and how they came about. I seriously thought that everyone knew there were
zombies out and about in the world and didn't learn until a bit later that they
were actually hush, hush. Also…there was a lot of confusion about the ‘Save’.
I, as a reader, needed more than what the author gave to us in the beginning. I
was left confused the entire book until it was finally revealed to me. I
understand the author was going for a big reveal in the end, but to me, I it
felt like I was the one missing out on a lot. I don’t know, it was like I
should have known what the author was talking about even though it was never
explain. Does that even make sense?
But I did enjoy it. I mean, come on! It is
zombies for crying out loud. And this author’s take was so totally different,
how could you not like something like this. I got a little tired of the angst
that Grayson was carrying around 99.2% of the book. It got old quick. But I did
love his good moments and think he was a sweet heart in those times.
I just loved the fact that most of the story
focused on the relationship between Cori and Grayson. Hey now, don’t go being
all ‘How gross…zombie and humans in love’ like a lot of people did with WARM
BODIES. I am telling you…this book is so different. You will like it and what
the author did with the storyline. And how she ended the story was even better.
It was like all of sudden…Action! Lies! Truths Revealed! It was a great
ending that will lead us into the next book of the series, LETHAL. But know
this…not everything gets the closure it needs. In fact, it might get even
crazier for everyone.
T.A. Brock lives in Oklahoma, where Zombies do not thrive. When not immersed in the world of fantasy writing, she enjoys spending time with her big girl, baby boy, and hubs. Some of her favorite things are coffee (specifically with cream, sugar, and chocolate), music (especially something with a good beat), books (especially paranormal), and Tennis. She despises raw meat and therefore is exceedingly glad she’s human.
