Genre: Horror / Thriller / Zombies
My Review
So, the greatest minds come together and actually come up with a cure for drug addiction. Great, right?
Wrong. The drug cartels see their fiefdom going up in smoke. And many others see their cash cows disappearing.
Conspiracy and back stabbing lead to desperate measures. The outcome are monsters risen from the grave, craving human flesh.
I’ve read other books by Ashley in different genres, and being a fan of zombies and apocalyptic stories, I just knew she’d give me something twisted and uniquely her own. I got it in spades. Her character’s are varied, from professionals to the lowest of the low, with average Joe caught in the middle of a living hell on Earth.
The direction the author takes with this story is actually believable, even with the zombies. The question,” Should you do it just because you can?,” rears it’s ugly head and the answer is a deadly and resounding Yes. Figures. No one really cares about the consequences, just the bottom line.
This isn’t your average zombie horror story.
Loved it and on to the next book!

Synopsis
Scientists attempted to find a cure for addiction. They failed.
Dr. Everett Berning, a leading researcher into the causes of addiction in the brain, spent ten years of his life dedicated to one thing: finding the cure. Recruited after a strange encounter with the enigmatic Dr. Roberta Flint, Director of Research on Code Name: Rememdium, Dr. Berning is sent to work in a secret lab as part of the research team.
When the moment the scientists waited on for years arrives, Dr. Flint and her team are ecstatic.
Unfortunately, not everyone in the world feels the same way.
Benito San Nicholas isn’t ready to give up his lucrative business. When the news of a cure arrives on his doorstep from a crooked informant, Benito enlists the help of other drug lords from around the world to stop the cure from hitting the streets and destroying their livelihoods.
What happens next ends up uniting the globe–just not the way society ever intended or hoped.

Author Ashley Fontainne
Award-winning and International bestselling author Ashley Fontainne is an avid reader of mostly the classics. Ashley became a fan of the written word in her youth, starting with the Nancy Drew mystery series. Stories that immerse the reader deep into the human psyche and the monsters that lurk within us are her favorite reads.
Her muse for penning the Eviscerating the Snake series was The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. Ashley’s love for this book is what sparked her desire to write her debut novel, Accountable to None, the first book in the trilogy. With a modern setting to the tale, Ashley delves into just what lengths a person is willing to go when they seek personal justice for heinous acts perpetrated upon them. The second novel in the series, Zero Balance. focuses on the cost and reciprocal cycle that obtaining revenge has on the seeker. For once the cycle starts, where does it end? How far will the tendrils of revenge expand? Adjusting Journal Entries answered that question: far and wide.
Her short thriller entitled Number Seventy-Five, touches upon the sometimes dangerous world of online dating. Number Seventy-Five took home the BRONZE medal in fiction/suspense at the 2013 Readers’ Favorite International Book Awards contest and is currently in production for a feature film.
Her paranormal thriller entitled The Lie, won the GOLD medal in the 2013 Illumination Book Awards for fiction/suspense and is also in production for a feature film entitled Foreseen.
Ashley’s decided to delve into the paranormal with a Southern Gothic horror/suspense novel, Growl, which released in January of 2015. The suspenseful mystery Empty Shell, released in September of 2014. Ashley will be teaming up with Lillian Hansen (Ashley calls her mom!) to pen a three-part murder mystery/suspense series entitled The Magnolia Series. The first book, Blood Ties, released the Summer of 2015.
Whispered Pain released in October of 2015 and Night Court released December 13, 2015.

Sounds good to me:)
My husband and my 2 dogs – it will have to be a pretty big bag!
You could bring yourself and your two dogs and have your husband carry it! LOL
Chapstick, Puffcorn, and a pillow. Seriously, don’t laugh!
taylordeanbooks@gmail.com
I have a kindle.
I get you about the chapstick. I have one everywhere. In my car. By my work station. In my purse. By my bed. I’d have to bring Doritos and TP though. LOL
I LOVE LOVE LOVE her! Great review, Laura. You definitely captured the essence of the story. Taylor, you crack me up. LOL
sherry @ fundinmental
I enjoyed your review too. It’s such fun to see how different things grabbed us in a book. I can’t wait to read more of her books!
Books, nail clippers (my nails annoy me when they are trimmed well), and chocolate.
I can relate to all of those:)
Three things, huh? Okay, my 8-shot security 12-gauge shotgun with plenty of buckshot; several bottles of a fine single-malt Scotch; and several more bottles of a fine single-malt Scotch. 🙂 Oh, I’d prefer an ebook should I be so lucky. emhelms63@yahoo.com
–Michael
I’ll take the shotgun! As for the scotch, not a fan, so I’d go for a bottle of Crown Royal!
Books pencils and paper, and lots of`ibuprofen.
Now that’s a good idea!
I’d have a book, a book, and another book.
International
mobi/Kindle format if available or audiobook (second choice)
lyndajdickson@gmail.com
LOL Sounds like me!
I’d take… DIFFICULT. The book I’m reading at the time (make sure it’s a long one). My Kindle with lots and lots of unread books on it. (although I love real books, it’s still reading!) And my cat. Of course.
eunder8191@gmail.com
Oh yeah, I’d like it as real book (of course), but I don’t live in the US. So… ebook, and audio book as a back up 🙂
We all seem to require reading material! LOL And I have a dog, a bird, and a cat!
Laura, I would like my new novel to be part of a tag team review and giveaway. Please contact me at jdrhawkins@gmail.com with details. Thanks so much!
Thanks for asking! I’m on vacation and will be in touch soon:)
Thank you for the fun giveaway, and all the great comments!
