Publisher's summary

Val was bitten by a zombie and now she's scheduled for lethal injection. Breaking all the rules, 18-year-old Dean Walters snags an experimental serum. But it can't be tested until Val turns into a zombie: something authorities won't allow. Her execution is scheduled to happen before transformation is complete, giving Dean only hours to break her out. When their helicopter crashes straight into the heart of Zombie Land, his rescue mission becomes a fight for survival - and giving up on Val is not an option.

OK story, but not very in depth. .

The story is ok, the premise is fair but the entire story is not very good. I have listened to much better.

Narrator was horrible.

Would give 5 stars, but the way the narrator whispered made it very hard to listen to.

The Zombies are Coming!

Would you listen to The Zombie Chronicles again? Why?

Yes. I liked it enough that I'll probably listen with my son. He loves zombies!

What other book might you compare The Zombie Chronicles to and why?

It was similar to Benton, but with no sex. They are both zombie apocalypse series, where humanity still has safe places to go.

What does Mikael Naramore bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He has a great voice, awesome inflections, and easily keeps the character voices correct.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A dramatic, post-apocalyptic, tale of family and friends, struggling to survive.

Any additional comments?

This book was graphic on a bloody scale, but not a sexual one. Some kids will be able to read it without nightmares... Some adults, too... Unfortunately, I fell asleep listening to this, and had some crazy scary dreams:-)

hair raising!

definitely geared for younger female readers. too much about the hair. come on. they are filthy. no regular bathing. dirty hair doesn't flow or blow or be soft. it's gross.

Good but a bit to much?

Very good story from the beginning to end written well but not to sold on the narrator some of the it was very flat like he was not sure how to bring the characters alive and one special character the younger brother is very dumb and so sappy he ruins the story in the audible and I believe it due to how the narrator tries to bring him alive with feelings and emotions.
Otherwise fairly enjoyed it I can not in total honesty recommend this audible I do have the complete series and hopefully it better or get a better narrator

for teens

it was good, not amazing but good but I am happy to report there is no swearing or sex.

A Great Zombie Story!

I finished listening to Val, a prequel to The Zombie Chronicles. Author Chrissy Peebles blew my mind. This is a fantastic start to a series. Unfortunately I will most likely have to wait awhile before I will be able to listen to the third audio. I'm still anxious to learn what will happen to Val. This is a great zombie story and its not like the majority zombie stories I've listened to so I'm thankful for that. I am definitely going to go through withdrawals over this series once I finish the second audio. This story has it all and I guarantee you'll love these stories.

Mikael Naramore did a perfect job with his telling of this story. I can't believe how real he made this story feel and sound. He did a great job with distinguishing accents and voices to each character. He brought this story to life in the way that it made me feel as if I was there watching the story play out. I give it a perfect 5 star rating!

Good story bad narration

The narrator is way over excited in the entire book. You'd think the book is written in all CAPS throughout.

Great listen!

This is an excellent story of innocence lost and finding out just how far you will go to save family.

Zombies and a story

Wow! I really enjoyed this book. Book two has to already be in my kindle or I will be very upset. I want to know what happens next. So much action!!!!
