5.0 out of 5 stars Not your average zombie apocalypse!
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2024

Are you tired of the same old lather, rinse, repeat zombie horror? Are you a fan of reading about bad men getting what is coming to them? Are you cool with reading about extreme situations and gore? Then seriously, read this book!

Okay, listen. I am over zombie fiction, it's been done to death. This book isn't zombie fiction. This is a book about a serial killer, his weak-willed stoner partner, and the mysterious woman who shows up to hand out some justice. It just happens to happen during the most unusual and mysterious zombie apocalypse I have read about.

The whole apocalypse situation itself is extremely unique, there are shadow entities that seem to possess some of the zombies, a giant cloud that seems to bring nothing but horrific death, and even hints of a giant monster terrorizing Dublin. Seriously, there is a lot going on here and we are only giving the briefest of hints to the bigger picture which is tantalizing and frustrating.

The writing is excellent, it is fast-paced and easy to read. The unique thing here is that the author uses extreme situations to create charater development. Sure, it's disturbing to read, but it isn't there just for shock, it's there to help you understand each character and to show you how each one reacts to situations. There are no heroes here, every character is very much an antagonist yet you develop complex emotions towards each of them as the story goes on.

There are a lot of content warnings here, it is considered extreme horror though I would say it's more graphic than extreme. If you are looking for the worst of the worst gore, you won't find it here, but what is here leaves nothing to the imagination.

I absolutely loved this book, I am so beyond thrilled I decided to put aside my zombie prejudice to read this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Several cuts above the usual but definitely gruesome
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2024
There's A LOT of ugliness in this book. Its title says, "extreme horror" and that's the truth. A protracted rape scene, lots of death, lots of fighting, lots of gruesome detail--it's a post-apocalypse setting with characters who are not nice people. A reader does have to have a very high tolerance for gore and death.
What shines a bit of light in the darkness is the humanness of the characters. Not nice people, I don't mean that. I mean that they are sympathetic in the sense of being real enough to evoke some sympathy. They are flawed individuals coping with a terrible situation.
The writing is skilled and solid. The plot is more interesting than the usual motley crew versus monsters thriller.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun gory zombie read
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2024
“Shadow Apocalypse” follows three survivors as they try to survive in a zombie ravaged Ireland. Their journey brings plenty of chaos and gore to make “Shadow Apocalypse” a fun and tense read. The biggest thing I appreciate about this novel is that “Shadow Apocalypse” does not follow the common survivor tropes. All three survivors are despicable in their own ways making the character dynamics much more interesting than the average zombie story. If you are not squeamish or triggered by SA/ necrophila, then give “Shadow Apocalypse” a read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Graphic content, little that’s frightening
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2024
In the chaos of the zombie apocalypse, three survivors' paths cross. But as one of them knows, "The sort of people who survived the end of the world were mostly the wrong type."

The blurb and the setting for this book sounded intriguing, but the actual story fell short. While the writing was good technically, and the pace was also good, it seemed more a string of events around and caused by people without moral compasses navigating the zombie apocalypse, rather than a story engaged in the characters' struggles. Unfortunately, the Irish setting did not seem significant; it felt like it could have been happening anywhere.

I found the characters unsympathetic, which made them difficult to connect to or care about. The book contained a lot of flashbacks, comprising roughly a third of it, and was definitely more on the extreme side than the horror side — with plenty of gruesome, graphic content but little that was genuinely frightening. Prospective readers: do take heed of the book's warnings.

Overall, the book made me think of a video game of only destruction and mayhem. If destruction and mayhem is what you're after, in graphic detail, this book might appeal.

(2.5 stars rounded up)

This story follows 3 main characters, Brandon, Eoin, and Lillian, after the apocalypse hits the world. Their journey is nothing but chaos and gore. It's a fabulous zombie story. Excellent writing. I pray there is more coming soon with this series. A very fast-paced thrilling book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Your Average Zombie Book!
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2024
Shadow Apocalypse was so much more than just a zombie story. I enjoyed it a lot which says a lot since zombies aren’t usually my thing.

The characters were all so interesting, and I felt they all had some kind of story. Once I started this book, I had to finish it. I had to know what each characters agenda was or why they all seemed so different or like they were hiding something. I did like how we get each of their back stories interwoven into the present time. I was quite shocked by the ending also.

This is extreme horror, and it does have a trigger warning page. I would recommend it to my zombie lovers or those that want an extreme horror book with some great characters and good story🙂
