First off I’d like to thank NetGalley and St. Martin’s
Griffin, for the chance to read Dead of Night!
Dead of Night was definitely a thrilling read! I was on the
edge of my seat throughout the entire thing, and I couldn’t get to the next
page fast enough!
I’ve always thought zombies were interesting so I decided it
was time to see what the hype over all these zombie books was about. I’m really
glad I decided to start out with Jonathan Maberry’s books! I was hooked on his
writing style from the start, it’s elegant, yet riveting at the same time and I
had a very hard to tearing myself away from reading this book!
The characters were all well developed and it was easy to
feel a connection with them. I really liked how he told the story through from
each characters POV, I think it added depth to the story by letting the reader
kind of get a glimpse into each characters head/thoughts while the events were
happening. I liked how the zombies were created; it was a unique idea and fit
well with the whole plotline of the story (which by the way was brilliantly
developed!). I think the thing I loved the most about the story was how real it
seemed, I think that gave it even more depth and added a lot to the fright-factor.
By the end of the book I was covered in goose bumps and just
about speechless, I’m also certain I gasped out loud quite a few times. I thoroughly
enjoyed Dead of Night and I’m really looking forward to reading more by
Jonathan Maberry! If you’re a zombie/horror fan I would definitely recommend this
book, it’s so worth the read!
4.5 Stars!
