Death's Awakening (Eternal Sorrows #1)
by Sarra Cannon
Summary:
For
sixteen-year-old Parrish Sorrows, life is about to become a nightmare.
This
is the night she’ll wake up to her mother’s convulsions. The night she’ll lose
contact with her father and sister in New York. The night 911 will stop
answering the phone.
This
is the night a mysterious supernatural virus begins its deadly rampage across
the globe, killing billions in a matter of days. And just when things can’t get
worse, the dead begin to rise.
Parrish
must find a way to survive the horror of this new world. Along the way, she’ll
team up with the gorgeous boy next door she’s always been drawn to, the snobby
ex-bff she’s hated for years, a genius computer nerd, and a young boy who never
says a word but is somehow a kindred spirit.
DEATH’S
AWAKENING is the first book in Sarra Cannon’s new Eternal Sorrows series. Told
from alternating points of view, this story is packed with action, magic, and
romance that will leave you begging to find out what happens as this group of
teens struggles to survive the zombie apocalypse.
They are about to find out zombies are the least
of their problems.
My Review:
This is not your typical zombie story! OK so I
loved Death's Awakening! Sarra created a magical twist on an apocalyptic zombie
world. I seriously haven't read any other book like it. She really took an
unusual (but very good) direction towards what would cause a Zombie Apocalypse.
The book starts introducing a witch who lives in another realm but by a series
of circumstances she ends up in our realm where the other characters are. At
first I had a bit of difficulty reading the book because each chapter is a
different character. Once each character was introduced and i found out how
they were connected to one another I was able to read it very easily. It was
actually refreshing to switch from character to character and experience from
each one how they were feeling and what they were going through. We read about
three teenagers, Parrish, Karmen, and Noah who have grown up together in the
same neighborhood but live very different lives. Yet these three find
themselves drawn together when a deadly virus appears and wipes out most of the
world they once knew. Not only does the virus kill most of the people they once
knew, but it also brings them back as flesh eating zombies. Together they must
try to survive in the world that is now dangerous and deadly. Later on they
meet up with another survivor, Crash, and together they try to figure out why
this is happening and why they were not affected by the virus. The book ended
with a big cliffhanger for the second installment in the series to pick up
from. I will definitely be reading the next one! I am not a big zombie fan but
I honestly loved this book! I loved most characters (while hating a few) lol. I
loved how Sarra changed your typical zombie story and added a bit of magic into
the mix! I am sitting here wishing I had book two! I would gladly recommend
this book
You can get Death's Awakening on now!
