Publisher's summary

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 10 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.

Brilliant.

Here's me thinking Ashley Fontainne can't get any better, yet she proves me wrong yet again!! In her first foray into the Zombie genre, she has created a different take on how the Zombies came to be. This author never fails to surprise me in how good she is, she has dipped her toes into multiple genres and never failed to deliver!

So in this, Dr. Everett Berning is recruited to help find a cure for addiction. Years and many trials later, the cure has been created, and best of all it works. After successful human trials, it's ready to be unleashed, but someone is intent on not letting it. Benito San Nicholas, is a drug lord and doesn't want the cure being distributed. He enlists some help and gets the cure, but what happens to it in his hands is devastating and the whole world suffers.

Everything about this book rocked. I loved the idea of the cure for addiction being found, only for it to fall into the wrong hands and being changed. It's definitely different to the virus angle and actually believable. Plus Ashley adds in her twists and turns at every opportunity. I particularly thought it was good what happened to Benitos girlfriend!!! At first I was like, how in the world could she get sick, did I miss something, then when it was revealed, I was like, oooooh! Lol.

Anyway, once again, this author has created an amazing start to what's sure to be an equally, if not better, series!! The ending will leave you wanting the next book right away and leave you wanting to check out more by this extremely talented author. This isn't just a Zombie book, this is so much more and I urge you to try it!

Rebecca Roberts is such a talented narrator. She never fails to deliver, no matter the genre or subject matter!! She had plenty of tones and accents here to make it really easy to follow and really ramped up the tension during the right times. I was on the edge of my seat listening to this thanks to her!!! She is a narrator I always recommend, and always will.

Zombies, drug lords, and addiction

Zombies, drug lords, and addiction. Is there any better cocktail for a good fast listen? I think not. I was quite surprised going into this Audio. Not only was it full of colorful characters but the twist and turns were surprising. It was so well developed that I felt the storyline and basic premise were at a much higher level than I usually get from this genre. Ashley Fontainne does a great job of mixing realistic ideas and the Zombie apocalypse in a creative way that I have not seen or heard. A research facility working for years to come up with a cure for addiction to drugs. The cure starts off successful and quickly turns into quite the ride. It had me hooked to the very end. The more I listened the more I had to know what could possibly come next. I was not disappointed. Rebecca Roberts is the narrator. She does a great job of pulling off not only the female character of Roberta but also using different variations in her tone that make pulling off Dr. Everett as well as my favorite Drug Lord Benito. I was never distracted from the story by her voice. Which I feel can make or break an Audio. There is a huge cliffhanger at the end which I hate because that means I have to buy Audio two ASAP. If you’re into Sci-Fi written at a higher level, than this is a great start.

I was never able to guess where the plot was going due to the many changing directions. I was always surprised when something happened. The book summarizes the danger of addiction and the lengths people will go to for greed. The characters have the normal flaws but continue to work to protect their loved ones and their neighbors.

The narrator was very good with a wide range of voices. She was very clear and understandable.

A really enjoyable entry book to what should be an exciting series.

Unique Story!

This is a unique story but good! Very good! Rebecca Roberts’ narration was excellent. She did a great job of keeping listeners engaged!

Zombie story in disguise

The zombie genre is not my favorite, but going into this book I did not know that it would go that way...so on a less than biased review...it seemed like the intro was easy to follow and the character introductions were easily identifiable (largely due to excellent voice talent). The middle of the story was gory, as expected, but somewhat predictable. And finally, the ending...I may be missing something...but it seemed to foreshadow an idea for a scientific resolution to the story, but really, seemed to have no ending whatsoever.

❤️

My only complaint is it’s way to short. Great start to a series. I’m definitely going to follow this one. Well written with interesting characters I was hooked right away. Excellent narration as well.

Quickly Evolving Adventure

Tainted Cure started out like a medical thriller, then drug dealers were added, and suddenly there were zombies! A quickly evolving, fast paced adventure, Tainted Cure is the first installment of the Rememdium series. Rebecca Roberts gave a spirited narration.
