Combo Isaac Marion Book Review

**Spoilers**

I'm doing a double book review since this is part of a 3 book series and this is the only picture I seem to have of these novels. I watched the movie Warm Bodies a while back and thought it was really cute. I then discovered it was lightly based off the novel of the same name by Isaac Marion. I had rushed to the library to find their copy and began reading the hell out of it.

**Spoiler Alert**

Warm bodies is about a Zombie named "R" Who meets a girl after killing her boyfriend and takes her captive to "keep her safe" They hide out in a commercial airplane where tons of zombies roam the airport. He takes care of her by scavenging for food and rescues her every time she tries to escape. He begins to change and starts becoming more human as time goes on and a budding flame ignites between him and Julie. This book is filled with an unexpected romance, tragedy, and blood throughout R's journey to becoming alive again. The zombies begin to feel and dream, something between the spark of R and Julie triggers an alive mask throughout the Zombie race. This was more like a teen love story but I'd have to say it's a very good novel. Issac Marion pays close attention to detail and his tactic of story progression is very well done. I'd have to say he's rather creative and has an extraordinary imagination.

The second book in this series is The New Hunger. It's a prequel to the Warm Bodies novel and very captivating. R wakes up after the zombie apocalypse and lightly describes his experience being newly dead after has taken place. However, this novel more surrounds a character from Warm Bodies, a young woman named Nora and her young brother. Their journey through the world of the undead and survival. It is filled with sadness as her little brother dies and she's left all alone. It ends with a happy ending as she eventually comes across Julie and is rescued by the military survival team and brought to their camp site downtown. Just like it's predecessor, this book is very well written and keeps you on the edge of your seat yearning for another chapter and more excitement.

As I said, as of now this is a 3 book series as Issac Marion is currently on the 4th installment. I'm currently in the proccess of reading The Burning World little by little on my phone while i'm out on the go. It is about Julie and R's life together after the death of her father. There's a slight shift in the world as zombies must rediscover themselves. I am looking forward to finishing this book as well as getting the new installment when it comes out either late this year or the beginning of next year.
