I can't believe this book ended the way it did. UGH. I was not even noticing that I was that close to the end when all of the sudden it was over. I really enjoyed it, but I am still unsure what the deal is why Seffy and the gang left their home for West Hollywood anyway and why Seffy would never let anyone talk about it. It would have been nice to have that explained in this book. That is the only reason I am giving it 4 instead of 5 stars. This series is one I definitely would not have read if it hadn't been a an editing gig. I'm just not into zombies, werewolves, biological & chemical warfare, et al. This entire series took me out of my comfort zone, and I really have to admit I learned a lot. The series is about the loss of innocence . . . and the horrible damage that can do to human beings.These books have content that I wouldn't recommend for youth . . . and many adults I know. The writing is good--you really get swept up into the story, and what happens. But there are shocking, scary, and gory things that happen. (As well as some love scenes that I skipped--she knew I wasn't editing that. ;o) So, if you're not into nightmarish and crazy stuff, I'd say stay away from this set. The uber-adult content is why it gets three stars. The writing itself, the quality of the prose and the story construction, definitely gets 4.5 stars. Bella does a bang-up job of taking you inside the minds of her characters, and of sewing up loose ends so when you're done, it's all worth it.
What do You think about The Z Word (2011)?
I Loved this book. As soon as I finish the series I will give it a proper review.
