Necrosis Audiobook by C.L. Schneider – Review by Nina Maes

This was a great listen. I am not very big fan of zombies or apocalypse. I have to say this was a gripping experiences I loved the fast paced story. This one will grab you and keep you to the very end. I seen this story not so much as zombies, but of a mother’s true love for her child. The lengths a mother will go through to protect what is part of her. This is a story of love, determination and strength beyond anything else. I highly recommend this book.

This book was mind blowing. Very thought provoking and scary. This is an adventure into something no one really wants to talk about out loud. Well written, very descriptive, informative. To be honest it was a hard read, you will want to put down, but you will want to keep going all at the same time. Recommend to more mature people and advance readers but also those who just love to read.
