This week it's the Top Ten Books of 2017! (no set order)
1) Michael Stephen Fuchs-Arisen series
This is such a great zombie series that I can't choose just one for this list! Exodus is the best of the series for me but I gave them all five stars!
2) Nicholas Sansbury Smith-Extinction series
Another zombie type series where you can't pick just one. I had to choose them all!
3) Jack Kilborn-Trapped
Another fast paced brutal horror read. Loved it!
4) Hunter Shea-Swamp Monster Massacre
A tribe of Bigfoots decide to massacre some boat crah survivors in the swamps. A typical gory horror offering!
5) William R Forstchen-Day of Wrath
An IS terrorist attack on schools across America is the start of a day that nobody will ever forget. Excellent thriller!
6) George RR Martin-A Song of Ice And Fire
This year I've read A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings and both parts of A Storm of Swords and loved them. Very hard to pick when I gave them all five stars but ASOS part two was special!
7) Kenneth Cary-Curtain Call
A man has a few days to get his family ready for the Yellowstone supervolcano exploding. I liked this apocalypse story and plan to read the rest .
8) Matthew D Mark-Dark Days Rough Roads
The apocalypse sends a group of family and friends for a save haven in a rural area but find powerful locals have formed a militia to terrorise the town. It's time to fight back!
9) Ben S Reeder-Zompoc
Another great zombie road trip adventure. This is the first of a trilogy and I plan to read the rest of it during the winter.
10) Eric Methven-EMP
An apocalyse novel set in a Scottish town where the community must work together to survive. Can't find a sequel or a paperback copy though.
Hunter Shea made my list too - although it's a different book. I am so excited to read the Orca book. It's been too long since I read anything by him (September I think).
ReplyDeleteThe Orca book is coming in the post today hopefully! I read and enjoyed Optical Delusions and my dad is going through all the books I haven't read yet. I need to grab them back maybe for a horror themed month.
DeleteI just ordered A Clash of Kings. I can’t wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I'm actually doing well with A Feast for Crows now that I have some motivation back. I'm planning A Dance With Dragons for the New Year. Just wish there was news on The Winds of Winter!
Deletebook 1 of the Extinction series has expired TWICE on me because I had this crazy idea I had to finish the year with a good NetGalley ratio [I know I know... WHY do I imposed these things on myself?? I would never know LOL ]
ReplyDeleteso I gave ARCs a priority BUT I requested it again and is coming!
The library lady already thinks I'm crazy so LOL
I really do hope you like it...the variant humanoid monster things are constantly changing which makes each book different. The final book is meant to be out this month!
DeleteGreat list! I especially want to read the Extinction series, and that one about the Yellowstone supervolcano. :)
ReplyDeleteI want to read all the books!!! *manic scream* Yeah I'm going a bit crazy knowing all the things I need to read but I'm hoping for a good one in 2018! Kenneth Cary's books will be high on the priority list!
DeleteWow, you definitely were loving your apoc reads this year!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is my favourite genre! I hope to be reading lots of them next year!
DeleteNice when all the entries in a series get five stars! And yeah the tail end of ASoS is pretty amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteI was worried about A Feast for Crows with all the missing characters but I'm still enjoying and seeing more of Asha, Jaime, Cersei and Samwell!
Deletenow that's some list! What a good year, eh! Not surprised at all to hear a Hunter Shea book on there.
ReplyDeleteI intend to catch up with all his books next year! I'm planning to do a few more self challenges next year ie Hunter Shea Catchup Challenge!
DeleteGreat list. I too would love to have the Hunter Shea novel. You gave me some others to check out. Thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental My TT
I'm looking forward to the postman arriving with it today!
DeleteWill have to look some of these up!
ReplyDeleteYou can always find some apocalypse and horror here!
