The Prisoner of the Dead (Dead World Book 1) by Megan Mackie – Review by Santana Hicks

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

Baron, a wildman who is used to a fight or flight life, enters a town one day because his bike needed repairs. While in town, he notices a zombie and his survival instincts kick in. In doing so it triggers a domino effect and a strange man steps in to fight with Baron. Baron ends up killing the man whose name was Mickey.

Once Baron comes to, he realizes that he is being held prisoner by the woman that was with the man he had murdered. The town fell with very few survivors from the zombie plague. Turns out the woman, named Thalia, was an immortal immune to the zombie plague. She was part of a group called the ARK that was basically like a zombie resistance group. Mickey had been her protector and Baron was now to take up the role.

Baron used to being a loner has a hard time trusting Thalia meanwhile she doesn’t trust the murderer. Thalia is stubborn and gets into a lot of trouble bringing Baron down with her.

This book was really interesting to read. The author took the classic zombie apocalypse genre and gave it their own unique spin of things. I could not put it down. I loved the characters and watching them grow into their own. I can’t wait to read the next instalment!
