{Review & Giveaway} Flesh & Bone @JonathanMaberry

Flesh and Bone (Benny Imura, #3)
Reeling from the tragic events of Dust & Decay, Benny Imura and his friends plunge deep into the zombie-infested wastelands of the great Rot & Ruin. Benny, Nix, Lilah and Chong journey through a fierce wilderness that was once America, searching for the jet they saw in the skies months ago. If that jet exists then humanity itself must have survived…somewhere. Finding it is their best hope for having a future and a life worth living.  But the Ruin is far more dangerous than any of them can imagine. They are hunted by fierce animals escaped from zoos and circuses. They must raid zombie-infested towns for food and medical supplies. They discover the very real truth in the old saying: In the Rot & Ruin…everything wants to kill you. And what is happening to the zombies? Swarms of them are coming from the east, devouring everything in their paths. These zoms are different. Faster, smarter, infinitely more dangerous. Has the zombie plague mutated, or is there something far more sinister behind this new invasion of the living dead? In Flesh & Bone, Benny Imura, Nix Riley, Lou Chong and Lilah the Lost Girl are pitted against dangers greater than anything they've ever faced. To survive, each of them must rise to become the warriors Tom trained them to be.

This one is a solid 4 stars for me for the fact that it was a lot slower than the others.  I had heard people say that this killed the series for them.  But I think it did a very good job dealing with the issues of the group loosing a loved character in book two.  I love the way that Maberry changes POV's he does it in such a way that you never have to wonder, you are never lost, and it just flows so well!  Bravo! It is also night that the main characters are not safe from death and destruction they can be hurt and they can die.  So many books make the main characters invincible and it tends to bog down the book.  So its nice to have a series that doesnt do that.

Don\'t know if it\'s your site or my computer but could not pull down a profile to comment under and this is so a series I\'d love to read. I tend to wait till the last book is published so I can read them back to back. Just watched all three seasons of Walking Dead this summer and am so primed for more zombies. So left my comment here.

I think you can recognize that they were people you once loved or respected and still kill the heck out of them to save the rest of humanity and yourself.
