The Prisoner of the Dead (Dead World Book 1) by Megan Mackie – Review by Darla Yocom

The Prisoner of the Dead: Zombie Thriller Dystopia by Megan Mackie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What would you do if you woke up one day and the undead had come to life? That’s right folks, ZOMBIES!

This incredible book follows Baron as he tries to survive this new world without dying or becoming part of the undead. From the beginning, he finds himself in one heck of a predicament. While driving through a small little town, he notices a beautiful woman as he searches for a repair shop for his bike. He soon learns that this woman is part of a small traveling caravan of scientists. She wears a thick gold collar around her neck which means she is an Atheling and is immortal. One of the locals helps Baron understand what this really means. For starters, she cannot die, yet she keeps a silver collared man, known as a Gin close by to help protect her should she ever need the extra help. Soon Baron finds himself in the middle of a town brawl and unfortunately he inadvertently kills this woman’s Gin. As penance, the Atheling captures and imprisons Baron immediately after the fight, forcing him to don a silver collar and become her new Gin. She expects him to immediately abide by her wishes while helping her and her team live through another day. Can they save the world from the infestation of zombies and stay on track with the ARK’s beliefs and overall goals?

I really enjoyed how the author put her fresh and unique spin on the zombie apocalypse virus story. It keeps you intrigued from start to finish.

I found the book to be very well written which allowed this to be a quick paced read that I thoroughly enjoyed. This book was entertaining and filled with a lot of twists and turns. I loved the characters, the world the author created and a plot that could easily become a huge success.

I’m curious to see what the author has in store for the Ark and this storyline in the near future.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
