The Book Of Riley #3
by Mark Tufo
My Review
Riley, an American Bulldog, and her pack, consisting of Ben Ben, the Yorkie, Patches, the cat, and the two humans, Jessie and her baby brother, struggle to find safe haven from the zombies.
A huge surprise in the last book provided the pack with a secret weapon. I was skeptical about it at first, then rolled with the idea. But even that might not be enough as Icely is dogging their trail. He’s such a sick twist. Made me hate like the Governor did in The Walking Dead. I longed for him to die, horribly. So the race is on and there’s no guarantees who will still be standing once the dust settles.
Things are really getting dicey in this third book and I’m worried about the pack. I’ve become quite fond of these character’s and that attachment sure kept things edgy.
This is the most intense yet in the series and I can hardly wait to see how events unfold in the next book.
4 Stars

Read by Sean Runnette
Sean continues to rise to the challenge of being the voice for all of these characters. Nice to hear him again.

Synopsis
During the highly improbable zombie uprising of 2013, the fearless American bulldog Riley quickly discovered that it was up to her to keep the pack safe. Together with Yorkshire terrier Ben-Ben and former archenemy Patches the cat, Riley struggles to keep the zombies at bay while helping her favorite human, Jessie, as they travel cross-country, dodging pepper paint balls and taser blasts from the evil, misogynistic Icely and his band of thugs.
Now this motley mishmash of mammals are running for their lives. The wicked Icely has picked up their scent and is now chasing them across the badlands of Colorado in hopes of seeking revenge—a painful one at that—on the dog that tried to kill him, as well as on the “bitches” who got away.
Seen through the eyes of a random narrator and Riley, we have to wonder: will Icely and his men chase them down and zap them into oblivion, or will the zombies finally win and get the brains they desperately crave?

Oh no, someone as bad as the Govenor? I really hope the pack remains safe or that will be a big bummer – a possibly a deterrent to me picking them up!
As bad as the governor or Negan! I just love this pack of characters, Barb.
Wow—a zombie book with dog narrators? That is so unique! I love it!
The animals are so individual. Ben Ben is a mess!
Zombies and puppies? I’ve got to make some time for this.
And Patches, the cat too!
I haven’t seen this series but you have peaked my interest. It has been awhile since I read a good zombie book.
I love zombie stories. LOL This was so different and I fell hard for some of the characters:)
Now this sounds really interesting. You really can’t lose with zombies and dogs in my opinion. Glad to hear that you enjoyed this one!
It’s been fun to see this from the animal’s POV too:)
Git ’em Riley. 🙂
