The Blurb :A duo of zombie tales by best selling author Kelley Armstrong.
LIFE SENTENCE
As other Cabals look to vampires for the cure to mortality, Daniel Boyd sets his sights on the “other” undead: zombies. Of course, finding volunteers for his experiments proves a bit of a challenge, but when a man only has six months to live, he’s willing to break a few rules.
LAST STAND
In the aftermath of a zombie virus outbreak, a troop of soldiers fights to save their people from extinction. But there’s something a little different about this particular group of survivors...
My Thoughts :
There is something very satisfying when curling up with than a Kelley Armstrong story! I am trying to satiate my hunger for more full length novels by collecting and reading the many short stories that are available. Life Sentence is one of those novellas and has two tales of the Living Dead inside.
Life Sentence is the first story in the duo and is a semi scary read with some great twists. A story with a situation you could relate to and some strange and weird ways to extend life. The story has some ties to the Otherworld series but doesn't really mention anything or anyone from the series, A nice short read that is enjoyable but over too quickly.
Last Stand must be one of my least favourite read by this author. I believe there is only one other time I didn't really enjoy a story by Kelley Armstrong and this now makes two. It wasn't that it was bad or not worth reading but there was just something about it that didn't make me wish the story would keep going. I was glad when it was over and totally uninterested in the characters and plot. Which has never happened in relation to this author.
A nice small collection. A definite read for the fans and a nice way to get to know the author if you haven't already had the pleasure.
