Twenty years after the Rising, the world has been forever altered by a virus that turns its victims into mindless, hungry creatures. Bloggers Georgia and Shaun Mason are on the trail of the biggest story of their lives, a conspiracy that goes to the heart of the infection.

Feed is a gripping and brutal exploration of a world on the brink, where the line between humanity and monstrosity is thin. With its fast-paced action and chilling suspense, this novel will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.

mixed 3.80

The book starts with intense zombie action but then slows down significantly. The narrative style and character development are praised, but the pacing is criticized.

This book is a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand, it kicks off with a bang, throwing readers right into the action with some thrilling zombie encounters. The narrative style is engaging, and the characters are well-developed, making it easy to get invested in their stories. However, the pacing can be a bit of a letdown. After that initial burst of excitement, the story slows down considerably, and it takes a while before the zombies make another significant appearance. This can be frustrating for readers looking for more consistent action. Despite this, the book has its merits and is worth a read for fans of the genre.
