Book Review: Death Doll by Brian White

Death Doll by Brian P White is available in paperback and kindle.

I decided to go for something a little different this time when I picked a book to read and review for September. I hadn’t read a zombie apocalypse in awhile, and this one didn’t disappoint. It was the typical zombie book, and yet not at all.

I love Brian White’s personal spin on the zombie horror genre in this thrilling tale of death, survival, and friendship. It has a twist I wasn’t quite expecting, and he uses it in a really entertaining way. He also is a fan of conflict and he never disappoints in upping the stakes just a little bit higher with each chapter.

I also like that this book has a large cast of characters, and yet, I felt a connection with each and I enjoyed watching the growth of the characters through the story. He took a group of widely different people from all walks of life that added in making this book diverse. The best part was his willingness to address stereotyping head on and in some interesting ways.

If you are looking for a book to entertain you and give you a shot in the arm of death defying adventure, then this is the books for you! Expect high tension that brings the most unlikely group of people together to learn survival, and tolerance for those who are different.

And once you get to the end and are like me and want to know what happens next, Brian White continues his story in Death Doll: Exodus.

It sits there in your lap eager to be read, but the cover, the title, the words splashed across the pages are meaningless. It’s just a book. Like all the other books taking up space on the bookshelf. But you open the cover and begin to read anyways, because it’s calling to you. There’s this pull to open it you can’t quite explain. So you do and you begin to read it.
