Author: Rachel Caine
Series:  Revivalist #1
Date Published: October 31st 2011 





Description:


Bryn Davis knows working at Fairview Mortuary isn't the most glamorous career choice, but at least it offers stable employment--until she discovers her bosses using a drug that resurrects the clientele as part of an extortion racket. Now, Bryn faces being terminated--literally, and with extreme prejudice.

Wit the help of corporate double-agent Patrick McCallister, Bryn has a chance to take down the bigger problem--pharmaceutical company Pharmadene, which treats death as the ultimate corporate loyalty program. She'd better do it fast, before she becomes a zombie slave--a real working stiff. She'd be better off dead




Review:   In this book we meet Bryn, just out of the armed forces she is out to start a new life for her self. she goes for a job working in a mortuary. things start off great but Bryn starts to notice strange going on's. And the more closely she looks into them the worse her life becomes. She ends up being one of the walking dead. Relying  on a drug to keep her alive. trapped between two world but not really belonging in any, she has to  look for the man who is selling this drug that brings people back from the dead. but she finds there is more to it then she thought.  and people are going to use the drug to take over the world which will bring it to an end.  Bryn teams up with the most unlikely  characters  and great friendships are formed as they all band together to keep each other safe and stop the mad power hungry people behind the drug. but Bryn faces another  turmoil  because if she stops the people behind the drug, she  no longer  any conection to the drug keeping her alive.


This book was a slow starter, I have to admit it has took me a long time to read it. It was really hard to get into.  But when I got into it I was blown away. It was written so well. Im thinking   this book would make a really good film, because it has some really good action  in it, and I think it had a story line that I cant remember reading anywhere else.  plus there is a couple of sections that have a shock factor, and I hope you have a strong stomach  because you will need it. I think this book was really well written and im really glad I stuck to it and didn't give up on it. I cant wait to see what happens in the next book and to see more of Bryn and  Pats relationship and to see if Joe is reunited with his family.  


Overall a slow start but a really good book.   not one to give up on.



RATING OF  4 LIPS
