Welcome to my Saturday Screams where I share reviews of all things scary.
For today I have a some good ones from my TBR that I’ve been wanting to share. Last week I shared the first two books in Marilyn Peake’s zombie series, Mutation Z. Go HERE to check them out. This week I’m sharing books three and four, and next week I’ll share the final two.
Without further adieu….
Mutation Z
Protecting Our Own
Book Three
by Marilyn Peake
My Review
Holy crap!
Just when you think things can’t get any crazier, they do. This is one intense series. I loved the first two books and this one is just as good, if not better.
Don’t count on your favorite characters surviving. I read this episode knowing anything could happen. But I wasn’t prepared for how things would go down.
And what’s this about protecting the zombies? What could be the motive behind that, I wonder.
Hang on to your butts, people. This is a boat load of trouble with an ending that will rock you to your core.
I don’t see how the author can make this series any more horrifying or emotional, but we shall see.

GENRES: Apocalyptic Science Fiction, Zombie Fiction, Conspiracy Fiction, Horror.
Mutation Z: Protecting Our Own is the third book in the Mutation Z series. In the next book, Mutation Z: Drones Overhead, the people working in Dr. Rojas’s house to find a cure for Mutation Z hide from the U.S. government spying on them with helicopters and drones that constantly fly overhead.

My Review
And this series gets even more intense.
The beginning grabs you, yanks you into Hunter’s nightmares, and gives you a little reprieve before sending you back into the horror.
After the horrific loss Hunter endured, I didn’t see a happy ending for him. I’m crossing my fingers things get better, but don’t see that in the foreseeable future. He’s on the run, hunted for what he knows. Desperate measures must be taken.
Well, the author did it again. Kept me tearing through this episode, cringing, cheering, and hoping. Mutation Z is like zombie M&Ms. You can’t read just one and keep reaching for more.
Can’t wait for the next one.

Synopsis
Journalist Hunter Morgan comes face-to-face with terrible truths, both personal and political. Visiting a local hospital, he discovers firsthand that zombies aren’t being treated there. Instead, they’re being sent to a more sinister fate in a program organized by the government. Fearing he’ll be identified by the helicopters and drones flying constantly over the house where he’s staying, he sets about to permanently alter his appearance. Although a ray of sunshine exists in his life, he becomes filled with despair over the current state of the world. There are even rumors that the United States and Mexico will go to war. NOVELLA.

These count towards my Horror Reading Challenge
Looks like you really enjoyed them. 🙂 Great reviews!
For such short stories, I do love them and can’t get enough:)
I love the title for book 5 and I hope to get to it real quick!
I do too. It’s sad I have no more of them to read. Finished the 6th and I really loved this series.
I figure if a book review begins with “Holy Crap!,” it’s bound to be GREAT!
LOL That, or watch out!
