If you count my apocalypse and zombie books together, it was a great reading year but I feel that I just didn't read enough non-zombie apocalypse this year, something I intend to rectify next year! But now lets take a look at the best apocalypse books and series I read last year.
I've read all of the series by David Nelson and enjoyed this community based survivor saga. Playing God is a stand alone conspiracy virus thriller, EMP at the moment has only one book in the series and no sign of a follow up yet and Final Dawn is a completed series that you can now get in full omnibus version. Dark Days rough roads is a two book series which I intend to finish in 2018, while Curtain Fall, Downfall and Surviving the Fall are continuing series. Surviving the Fall will be released as an omnibus after the serial novel has been published in full so I'm waiting for that. The Dead Familiar is a great book, as is the follow up but I was a little disappointed with the third book. There is no sign of the next book in that series yet.
Here are a few more decent apocalypse books I read in 2017. EMP was a decent read about a community working together after the apocalypse, just not as good as the others I've read this year. Dust to Dust was a read and review book from the author and I feel this series has potential if the MC is less annoying! Still a decent read though.
Now to look at the books I was disappointed with in the genre.
Great list. I keep telling myself no new series. Then I stop by your blog and am reminded of some good ones. LOL
ReplyDeleteThere will be lots of apocalypses on my blog next year! It might not be good for your tbr!
Deleten-zombie apocalyptics! Yeah now we are talking ! 😬 I’ll have to check out Nelson’s book I love community based survival stories
ReplyDeleteExpect a lot more of these this year! (I hope!) I've already planned lists for 2018!
