Enjoyable ZA novella

I didn't realize this was a novella for a previous book. I'll have to go get Red Hill now. A wonderfully suspenseful book I loved the story and characters. Some people just can't pull off writing from the point of view of a 13 year old but this was very convincing.

The narrator is pretty good. I really enjoyed her performance.

such a strong girl!

This story is heart breaking.. what this strong girl has gone though to get to mom when zombies break out. She and her mom have plans that is anything ever happens, they would meet up at a farm about 40 miles away. Seems easy right? Not so! it might as well be 400 miles. I love that she does not give up-ever! her dad could sometimes use a kick in the butt, but learns his daughter can be trusted, and knows what she is talking about!

Good book! I would recommend if you like zombies, and are looking for a good fast paced story.

Perfect companion for Red Hill

Among Monsters was fabulous!!!! I absolutely loved Red Hill so I was excited when I heard this novella was coming out and we would get to read Jenna and Halle's story. Their journey to the Red Hill Ranch was was enjoyable and thrilling. I loved how Jamie made connections with the characters between the two stories. To know that Scarlet and the girls journey where somewhat intertwined and the characters they met and experiences they had along the way were connected in some ways was awesome. It really felt like even during the zombie apocalypse the world was still small. It was an amazing story filled with action, love, family, strength, growing up and survival. I loved it!!!

Great view on Zombies

Patricia did an amazing job narrating this novella. I've read several zombie books and seen shows and movies and from what I've noticed they usually focus more on the adults. So hearing about a teenager and everything she goes through was a real difference. I really enjoyed this story because it was so different from what I'm used to. Yes it did follow the normal zombie rules, but unlike a lot of zombie related stuff it showed that women can be just as strong and smart as the men no matter what age. Plus it gives really good advice for whenever some idiot doctor finally makes zombies and we have our own outbreak.

Kid-focused zombie story

I didn't read the first story Red Hill. I've never read the author's mainstream romance novels, so I didn't have any expectations coming into 'Among Monsters'. I haven't read many zombie stories so I can't really compare, but the spread felt unnaturally fast. In the beginning, we hear about a viral outbreak in europe but nobody has any details. Within a day, america gets the first outbreak, then within another day, america is overrun with zombies. It seems the virus only spreads from being bitten, and they turn within a day after getting flu symptoms. You'd think that would slow the spread, especially if Europe was already exposed. I mean, if you can beat a zombie with a bat and not get infected from touching the blood-covered bat, then it's not gonna spread that quickly. But I digress.


This is the first zombie story i've read which followed a 13 year old girl (with first person POV), which is what piqued my interest in the first place. The author tries hard to balance the character and make her seem mature and reasonable but still whiney and stubborn as a child. Throughout the story, Jenna constantly berates dad about needing to see mom, which doesn't end well for some people. The story was reasonably paced. The focus wasn't really about surviving, but rather how to get to mom. I enjoyed the story, and it was a nice length. I thought the narrator was great as the young hailey. I'm biased in favor of female narrators, so I never had a problem with her male voices, but they're not super deep. She uses a subtle difference to differentiate when Jenna is speaking versus just narrating since it's first person POV, mostly changing her inflection and tone as opposed to pitch.

Interesting perspective

This book has a fresh perspective on a popular story. Although the book was a little unrealistic at times, it is entertaining and a good addition to the genre.
