I was skimming through the Kindle store the other day, and came across Zombie Night in Canada: First Period by Jamie Friesen.
I read the blurb, and when it said that the book was set in my hometown of Edmonton, Alberta, I thought "what the hell" and paid my four bucks for what I assumed was satire. C'mon, a name like Zombie Night in Canada? *rolls eyes.
What I found very pleasantly surprised me. Sure it's a zombie outbreak book, a little clichéd, but I really enjoyed it.
I read it all in one sitting, and can't wait for the sequel.
The dialogue can be a bit hokey, as is some of the characterization, but on the whole, I highly enjoyed it. Any book that I read in one session is a five star for me.
