Finally, I was happy the way she ended the story and look forward to checking out book two: Asylum. She's definitely an author to keep tabs on and watch her grow. Her use of descriptive words for actions and to paint the scene really made the story come 'alive'. However, as an author myself, I enjoyed Shana's style of writing. Some have said this story was nothing new in the zombie genre. Her sometimes laid back, sassy tone along with Shana's snarky writing made for an entertaining combination. She put me off guard when I first started, which I thought was great. The narrator, Sarah Tancer, was a great choice. I listened to the audiobook of Time of Death. That includes Time of Death by Shana Festa. Each has a different take on the zombie outbreak and I've enjoyed each and every one of them. Truth be told, zombie books and movies are a guilty pleasure of mine, so perhaps I'm a bit biased? Regardless, I've read a wide range from World War Z, to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, to The Walking Dead. Though this story is not unique among the zombie genre books, it still was a fun read. Time of Death follows nursing student, Emma Rossi, as she experiences first hand the zombie apocalypse.

If you enjoy some romance intermixed with horror, suspense, etc, etc.you'll enjoy this novel. Personally, I'm glad that I hadn't read it, because it was a nice surprise. When Shana offered a copy, I actually hadn't read the synopsis, so I had no clue what I was in for. Let me start by saying I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
