Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) The finale of the second series of Deadlocked.

The High Rollers are ready to take revenge against the forces aligned against them. A hard and long winter has forced them into hiding, but has also given them a respite from something else… something far worse than anything they’ve battled so far.

The Noah Initiative has begun, and the land will soon be devastated by a new virus. The people lined up against the High Rollers are fighting among themselves as well, and everyone is at risk. This isn’t just a fight for survival anymore, it’s a fight to save the entire human race.

My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.

First and foremost, prepare to tear up at the end. 

Second, prepare to cheer on the good guys throughout the whole book.

Third, prepare yourself to re-evaluate several times (again!) just who the good guys and bad guys are. 

Finally, enjoy the ride. All of it. This was truly the perfect ending to the series. The author did not leave anyone's fate hanging. There was closure for everyone and every plot line. I truly never expected to tear up at the end of a book about zombies. But the characters were so well written that any loss is felt deeply. I have to add that Wise did not try to come up with a miraculous recovery for a few of the characters. That would have been a cop-out and I'm really glad he stuck to his guns and didn't try to save everyone. That would not have been realistic at all. These books are definitely worth the read. 

You can purchase Deadlocked 8 through Amazon in Kindle format.
