Short Review: Probably one of my favorites so far. You get to see how other people in this zombie world are dealing with this. The Angels are very interesting people indeed. I don't know if i agree with their thinking, but people will accept any logic that gets throw at them in a moment of chaos, it grounds them. B is a solid zombie thou, takes a beating and still comes out winning!

I love how Darren has this thing in all his bigger series where there is one big story and each book has another element in it. It feels like mini stories inside the big one. I love reading like this.
I did not enjoyed this setting as much as City, but that is a setting I really love, so that's a hard one to beat. I do like the more background that we get in this one.
And I love binging this with Natalja at this incredible speed!

Immediately continuing on from book 3 Zom-B:City, B meets an elusive doctor by the name of Dr. Oystein in the County Hall. Naturally after the events just preceding her and following the mysterious reds Zs dotted around the city, B would be untrusting but when she discovers that Oystein is a revitalized just like her, she has plenty of questions that need answering.
Dr. Oystein tell her about his organization, The Angels which is a group of more revitalized like her, who train in order to fight against the clown Mr. Dowling and his mutant armies.
Not only does B now have a sanctuary of zombies like her but she also finds out some facts that followed her even when she was living.
I liked this book as I did the other 3 but this one isn't as action packed as the others. It's more a step as to finding out more about the revitalizeds and the reviveds and who and how Dr. Oystein came to be who he is when we meet him in this book.
I think this book was crucial when it is because there would be so many unanswered questions for the readers as well as the characters.
Plus we meet some characters again who we thought were lost after the events of book 2 so it would be interesting to see how they can interact and maybe work together in the future books.
Plus I think I have a feeling on who the clown is...

Nice to see another interesting addition to the factions that have developed after the apocalypse. I didn’t enjoy Dr. Oystein’s explanation in the end though. Maybe it’s because I’m agnostic, but I just don’t like the idea of something as black and white as God and Satan being patrons for their earthly counterparts. . It’s meant to be for younger audiences so I shouldn’t expect more complexity when it comes to opposing sides, although there are gray areas within the Angels I like.
I really enjoy how Darren doesn’t explain the backstory, doesn’t give you the pieces 100% and also lets you doubt the truth in the pieces you’re given. Many thing are uncertain, both for the main character B and for the reader and it makes for a much better read with this genre when you don’t know what around the corner, behind you, or right in front of you.
Really good. I didn't expect it to take the turn that it took at the end, but it's an interesting idea and I think it can work. I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops in the next books! Review to come.
This one had less of a cohesive story than I would have wanted, but we find so much out about the overall arc of the story, that I loved it. Plus it sets up the potential for some really amazing sequels. What makes Shan so good with these, is that they aren't your normal faire; it's nearly impossible to figure out what is really going to happen, or even guess at it, because he's so creative in his process. This series is also unique because he's focused so much attention to social consciousness. The main character is a racist and we get to see her evolve over the story arc. I think that is the most evolution I've seen out of a series for quite some time.
Notes:
Hm. Plot took a turn that I was hoping that it would not. At this point, the story seems to be degrading on multiple fronts vs getting stronger. Let's see how the next book goes.
