This is a great SciFi, Paranormal story. I would say that this would be a great additional story for the Young Adult genre as well. Even though this book is Book 5 of the series, it can be a stand alone. The plotline is a fast paced post-apocalyptic suspenseful story. I could not stop reading this book. I was turning the pages so fast that I almost got paper cut. It is centered around one character, Max. I felt that she was fully developed and well liked. She was in a tragic accident that changed her life around. She is marked and has to watch her back at all times. She wants to keep those close to her safe. I highly recommend this story to see what happens to Max.

Vengeance (Sundown Series Book 5) By Courtney Konstantin
This book is intriguing, full of suspense, action and what surprised me the most was how emotional it was. Even though this is the fifth book in the series it can be read as a stand alone. This story will keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what’s going to happen next. There are wonderful characters in this story and you can’t help but become invested. I don’t normally read zombie stories but this one is more than a zombie story, it is different than any I have read before. I really enjoyed the dynamics in this family and their different personalities. This is a well written book that was enjoyable to read. I recommend this book.View all my reviews

The Duncan’s just ROCK! I can’t help but be impressed by this group. They are living in a difficult world now but have become stronger as the days go by. This story kept me reading and on the edge of my seat. Never knowing what was going to happen next unless it involved the infected (then…I knew). The emotions and thought process I went through while reading was enormous! Fright, worry, tears (yes I teared up!), happiness as well as wondering how I would do as one of these Characters…pretty sure the answer is not well.
The characters are simply Bad to the Bone! They all have little issues but they each have wondrous strengths that complement each other. Alex is the leader/mother type figure. But don’t cross her because she will go “Mamma Bear” on you! Rafe and all his knives… he just impresses me! He is a physically and mentally strong one. Max is on another level than these two. She speaks her mind, has one goal and loves her family. I loved watching how these and the others band together and fall apart.
This is an interesting series. I have only read a couple books in here. Each book explains what has happened or is happening to everyone so they are basically stand alones. I loved reading this and look forward to the last in the Sundown Series!

Vengeance (The Sundown Series Book 5) by Courtney Konstantin is a YA Sci Fi paranormal story. This dystopian post-apocalyptic tale is a dangerous and emotional journey and great addition to this series. I have said it before but I am not a zombie lover, but Courtney has made this story unique and the plot different enough to entertain me. Courtney’s story is an original twist with lots of action and danger, drama and is so very engrossing. Her superb word smithing and vivid writing style, is very descriptive and makes it seem like you have been immersed in the story and fighting to survive. I had to keep turning the pages because I needed to know what was happening next.
Max is our MC and Courtney certainly puts her through the wringer.
If you love a thrilling and intensely gripping, then this is one for you.

Vengeance by Courtney Konstantin is the fifth book in Sundown Series. Don’t worry if you haven’t read the other books the author sets this up as an excellent standalone. Max is on a dangerous path and coming back from being tortured. Can she handle the pressure that is mounting more and more? I really enjoy Max because she is strong-willed and determined. The story building of a dystopian future is well done allowing one to be taken into the story. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to read a dystopian book at the moment with the pandemic going on but this actually was well done and didn’t disappoint. I have only read a few of the books by this author but I will be looking forward to reading more of her books in the future.

Vengeance is the fifth book in the Sundown series. It can be read as a standalone. The author does a good job of weaving in important backstory so you don’t feel like you are missing anything. This book has everything you’d expect in a post-apocalyptic tale, include a variation of zombies. Overall, I would say this particular story is really more about the interpersonal relationship development of the characters as they get prepared to go after an old enemy. That being said, it does have plenty of suspense and danger mixed in to keep things moving right along. There are also some emotional moments that will get you right in the feels.

Vengeance is the first book I have read by Courtney Konstantin. I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy starting with the 5th book in a series, but I quickly discovered that Courtney does a phenomenal job making this a stand alone book. She smoothly explained the characters in the story while not making it seem like an awkward explanation. There was also some important backstory that I will enjoy going back to read, but it was able to be shared within the context of the characters’ dialogue and inner thoughts. This is a story of family dynamics and characters’ journeys in an apocalypse. I really enjoyed that while aspects of zombie stories, such as how to kill the zombies, were retained, there was a fresh take on the characters and what they were enduring. At one point in some action, I found my entire body tense as I flew through the book to find out what would happen to Max. Max Duncan is a fantastic and interesting main character. I found lyrics to a song aptly describe Max’s journey. She is making her way in the world today taking everything she’s got. Jump into this series with this book or any of the other books in the Sundown series. You won’t regret it.

Vengeance by Courtney Konstantin is the firth book in the Sundown series. This book can be read as a stand-alone or as part of the series. This is a YA dystopian novel that is well written and action packed. I knew when I started this book that it was going to be exciting and fast paced but I didn’t expect it to be such an emotional story. I was completely connected with the main character and it felt like I was taking the journey with her. Although this is the first book I have read in this series it never felt like I was missing out on what had happened although after reading this one I will be going back to read the others. This is a well written and detailed book that I thoroughly enjoyed. I am looking forward to discovering more by this author.

Vengeance (The Sundown Series Book 5) by Courtney Konstantin is not just another zombie apocalypse tale. Yes, there are zombies. Yes, there has been apocalyptic events. The difference is its not just a continual onslaught of zombies in one scene after another. These are people living real lives amidst great adversity. It’s the every day dealing with people that are all different in their own unique ways, but all the same. You know, like life. Although this is a part of a series this story stands on its own. I love how Max finds out that even though you have the right idea and feel the need to follow through, its not always the best thing at the time. Its hard to know the difference sometimes. I am looking forward to reading the next one.

Vengeance: Sundown Series, Book 5, by Courtney Konstantin 4 out of 5 stars Konstantin is one fantastic author. I love the Sundown Series. Konstantin has continued to bring us amazing stories, and this book is no different. This post-apocalyptic story is a great addition to this series but can be read alone. However, as a lover of books, I recommend reading any series in book order. Max is a strong woman who suffers a seriously tragic accident that changes her world. It is hard to describe what goes on in the book without giving too much away but know that this story is both suspenseful and highly emotional. I rarely cry in a book, but this one had me holding back some sobs. I recommend this book for YA, dystopian fantasy, mystery, and thriller. I highly recommended. 4 out of 5 stars.

Vengeance was a great read; it is the fifth book in the Sundown series but could be read as a standalone. I have read others from the series and also recommend them. The author has a great writing style that really draws you into the story and although it is a YA read I really enjoyed it. The storyline was good and engaging and I really liked the characters. Max was a nice character to read about and her story definitely kept me interested the whole way through. The author’s attention to detail was another huge positive for this book. I would definitely recommend this story and think YA readers would really enjoy it.

Vengeance (The Sundown Series Book 5) By Courtney Konstantin 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Vengeance (The Sundown Series Book 5) by Courtney Konstantin. It is a story that pulled me in and didn’t let me go until the final page. It is a journey that is emotional and includes danger. It is a book that had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. Max is one of the main characters in the story. She is intelligent, strong-willed. And is one that takes chances. What does the future hold for Max and those with her? Read this book to find out. This story is suspenseful and emotional as well. The author does an amazing job of making the story and the characters come alive. There are additional characters that are interesting to read about. I felt like I connected to Max and those who are with her. There are also those whose motives are not good. Don’t miss out on a story that is exciting, intriguing, and entertaining. I would highly recommend reading it.

I enjoyed this young adult story. I think any middle school aged to young adult would enjoy this story. This is a post-apocalyptic story that is emotional and suspenseful. This is the fifth book in this series but can be read as a stand alone. This is my first book in the series and I look forward to reading more from this series. This is a well developed story about Max who suffers a tragic accident that changes things for her. She is my favorite of the story and made the story fun to read. She has to look over her shoulder as she tries to keep her family safe. This is a story that is full of action and a great plot that kept me reading. Max and the other characters bring the story to life for me. I highly recommend this book.

Nightmares plague Max Duncan…and not just the undead type.
No one ever confused Max with being an emotionally stable individual. Now her mind is consumed with the need for revenge. Her body is healed from the the torture she received at the order of the remaining government. However, her mind can’t let it go.
When an accident causes Max to reevaluate the road she’s trying to go down, she is reminded of what’s important. As the world continues to crumble around the Duncan family and the dead continue to feast on the living, Max has to figure out how to put aside her need for vengeance.
In a world where every day is a threat to her life, Max must learn to work together with her family to keep them all alive. She won’t stop until they can stop looking over their shoulders and feel safe once again.
As a child, Courtney always had aspirations of being a writer. She participated in journalism in school. At home, she wrote short stories, poetry and filled diary pages. Somewhere along the line becoming an adult took priority over her writing and she went to work in business operations.
Now as a mother to three beautiful children, she tells them all the time to follow their dreams, be whatever they want. Those lessons reminded her how much she loved writing. She finally opened the door to making writing a real priority in her life.
Living outside of Portland, Oregon she loves the green and beauty Oregon offers. When she’s not matching wits with her children, her crazy Siberian Husky or her bi-polar cats, she enjoys binge reading, hikes and touring wineries. Courtney and her husband, the love of her life, enjoy traveling the world whenever they can get a free moment. And cruises….she loves cruising. She’s especially fond of life, laughter and sarcasm – and she’s excited to share all of that and more with her readers!

Alive (Sundown Series Book 3) By Courtney Konstantin Rated 5 stars!!!!
Wow! Wow! Wow! I loved this story for so many reasons! This book is written so well. It’s smooth and has such a nice flow to it. The story is action packed and highly addictive! It held me captivated and I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. Many times while reading I find myself saying or thinking “No! Don’t go back to town!” Or “Stay away from there!” But sadly they didn’t listen to me. Each of the characters has a nice quality about them. Whether it be the main one, a secondary or even the dog. They were all well thought out and beautifully done. Even the relationships between the characters is done superbly.
You know the saying “ I love it when a story comes together”? This one is all that! From the writing, to the characters, to the story, they all blend so nicely for a great finished product. This is a first time author for me. I will gladly check out her other books and I will be reading the first two in this series! I am now interested in the girls stories and wondering where the author will take this story next. I highly recommend this book.

Alive (The Sundown Series) written by Courtney Konstantin. This is not my normal genre as I tend to creep myself out with this type of story. Charlie and Rafe are the two main characters and the story is told in alternating point of view depending on the scene. As the story progresses you gain more details and characters. Alive is a good story and I did enjoy it, I was eager to see how it would end and what would happen with all the characters, including “the suit”.

Alive is the third book in the Sundown Series. It can be read as a standalone. There are main parts of the story that wrap up by the end, but the overall story is left open.
I’m not a huge fan of zombie apocalypse type stories, but this one was very well done. It was not over-the-top in gore and unnecessary violence. Action, adventure, and a smidge of romance made for an entertaining read. There were a few times I was so into the intense moments in the story I am surprised my grip on the Kindle didn’t crack it, lol.

Alive by Courtney Konstantin is the third book in the Sundown Series. This can be read as a standalone. Rafe Duncan and Charlie Brewer are the main characters and work in a secret government facility. There is a virus and when humans become exposed become flesh eating zombies. Rafe and Charlie are fighting to survive against the zombies as well as mercenaries who are after them. This is the first book I have read in the series and was blown away. I was taken into a strange existence and kept in suspene the whole book. The descriptions and characters are great. I really enjoyed the entire book and will be grabbing the first two books in the series. If you like a book with suspense, drama, and a great story you will enjoy this book.

Alive was a thrilling 4 star read and book three in the Sundown series. This isn’t my usual type of read however, I was pulled in right from the beginning, this is a zombie, post-apocalyptic themed story that has lots of danger, action and so much more.
Rafe and Charlie work at a facility that does top secret testing. After a plague breaks out in the facility they find themselves fighting for their lives from several entities. Both characters are strong in their own ways. There are several twists and turns.
Will these two be able to find safety before it’s too late?
Courtney Konstantin does a great job with her detail in the story, I felt like I was right there with the characters. This is my first read from her and it was great. I look forward to reading more. If you like post-apocalyptic zombie stories you will like this book.

Alive (Sundown Series Book 3) by Courtney Konstantin was a spine tingling, post-apocalyptic thriller that had me on the edge on my seat.
My first read by this author, I was pulled in by not only the cover but by the raving reviews. This book is part of a series, but you can read this one as a standalone. But I do wish I read the other books first because I believe I missed some character development and background info. But I will be going back and checking them out, because I love the world that this author has created.
I was pulled in right away, and for someone that is picking about their zombie books, I have to say I was impressed and loved every minute of this heart pounding read. I loved the attention to detail and how the author managed to instill fear into me. The suspense was thick and the situations were terrifying. I love the constant surprises and the raw emotions that the characters portrayed as the zombies closed in.
Overall this book will probably give me nightmares, so it gets my super high recommendation and of course, my stamp of approval.

Alive, Book 3 in the Sundown Series by Courtney Konstantin 4 out of 5 stars
This book hits all the right notes that a book should. This book is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the end of the world is not brought on by mother nature, but by the meddling of mankind. When a virus runs rampant through humanity, causing those who are infected to turn into flesh eating zombies, it turns into a race against the clock for survival. Our main characters, Rafe, (bad A** and one overall tough dude) and Charle, (whip smart, hot chick lab scientist) are on the run from those who are infected. Rafe is determined to get to his sisters and keep Charlie alive in the process. Charlie is strong, smart and is determined to prove to Rafe that she is his equal and can help him, and is not a liability.
Things change as they are venturing on when Rafe and Charlie discover they are being hunted, not only by zombies, but by mercenaries. Will they survive? You will have to read this book and the first two in this series. This book is amazing. Incredibly detailed and the plot is beyond fantastic. Konstantin has proven herself to be an incredible author and I cannot wait to read more novels by her,

Ok so being totally honest I was not sure about this book at all – it is completely out of my comfort zone for reading, I’m more of a romance kind of girl but I had seen a few friends say how good it was so I thought I would give it a go. I am so glad I gave it go, have I been converted to post-apocalyptic, zombie stories, probably not but I cannot fault the authors writing at all. The story was exciting, full of action and I found myself wanting to keep turning the pages to find out what was going to happen. At times it almost felt like I was reading about a movie, the authors descriptive language was great and the story rich in detail. I really felt like I was right there with Rafe and Charlie as they tried to survive. An exciting 4 star read that I would definitely recommend.

Alive (Sundown Series Book 3) by Courtney Konstantin is a thrilling sci fi, post apocalyptic, suspense story that had me on the edge of my seat, all the way through. I am not normally a zombie lover, but this story is unique and different in it’s telling and the plot and whilst it has walking dead, it’s focus is on how it came about and the people and their fight for survival.
This tale is definitely intense and will have your heart pumping and your fight or flight instincts kicking in and I had to remind myself to breathe, as I traversed my way around the action and danger, drama and twists and turns. Courtney’s story is an original twist and is so engrossing. Her vivid writing style, is so descriptive that it truly feels like you are the one fighting and trying to survive. I had to read it all in one go, I had to keep turning the pages because I had to know, I needed to know, I had to witness it first hand. Trust me when I say you will continue to think about it long after you have turned the last page and long after darkness has set, when you are looking in the shadows.
Rafe and Charlie have gone from normal to chaos and fighting to survive, but it’s not just the walking dead they have to worry about. Will they be able to survive the true evil that is after them?
I have not read anything by Courtney before, now I have to go back and read the first two books and scout around to see what else she has written because her word smithing is superb. This is definitely my favourite read so far for the new year.
If you love a thrilling, gory tale that is gruesome, is disturbing, is disgusting and intensely gripping, then this is one that should be on your reading list.

A great read about events unravelling. Rafe Duncan works for security in a government science facility. When he helps doctor Charlie off the road, and she is burgled she stays at his house with reluctance. But when events unravel at work, suddenly they have to stick together for survival. Can they make it? A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Charlie standing up for herself but kind underneath or Rafae as strong and silent but kind underneath. I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the natural imagery of the snow in the dawn light or the forest and mountains as something beautiful and calming with the cows. And also the use of the senses in particular to sounds with unnerving silences and horror filled pops and cracks later on. I loved the mix of realism with the doctors and sci fi with the apocalypse combining together to perfection. Fast paced action with high stakes made for a captivating read. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

I love reading post-apocalyptic books. I love the thrill and mystery that they give. Alive was my first experience by Courtney Konstantin, and let’s just say that I was impressed with the book and world development. I liked how easy it was for me to dive in with the characters, and feel their emotions through the pages. I kept finding myself at the edges of my seat, twisting my fingers trying to find out what would happen next. This was definitely a 4 Star Book for me.

Alive (Sundown Series Book 3) By Courtney Konstantin
Omg this book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time!!! There was danger and action throughout the entire story. I could not put this book down until I found out what happened. The author did an amazing job making me feel like I was right along for the ride. I became completely invested in the main characters Rafe and Charlie. I haven’t read the first two books in this series and I was able to follow along with it any trouble, but now that I have read this book I am absolutely going to go read the first two. This is the first book I have read by this author and I am so glad I did because I can’t say enough great things about this book, it was riveting and the attention to detail was awesome. I highly recommend this book.
