Synopsis on Goodreads

The sequel to Rise Again, from an author who “balances kinetically choreographed scenes of zombie carnage with studies of well-drawn characters and enough political intrigue to give his tale more gravity and grounding than most zombie gorefests” (Publishers Weekly). 

Billions died and rose again, hungry for human flesh. When the nightmare reached Sheriff Danielle Adelman’s small mountain community of Forest Peak, California, it was too late for warnings . . . forcing her to lead a small group of survivors out of hell, all the while seeking her estranged runaway sister at any cost.

Two years later, the undead have evolved. Now, besides the shambling, mindless cannibals are the hunters—cunning and fast, like wolves—and the thinkers, whose shocking intelligence and single-minded predatory obsession may mean the downfall of what’s left of humanity. As Danny leads a ragtag band of the living through the remnants of the American Midwest, rumors arise of a safe place somewhere east. But the closer they get to it, the more certain Danny becomes that something evil waits for them at the end of the line. With an unspeakable secret riding beside her and an unbreakable promise made to a small, silent boy, Danny must stake everything she has—her leadership, her sanity, and her life— in order to defeat the ultimate horror in a terrifying and dying world.

I really enjoyed the first book Rise Again so it was a no brainer for me to read the sequel. There were many things right with this book, the writing, the character developments etc but i won’t go into that. This book would have gotten 5 stars, but i dropped a half of because of the prologue and epilogue. Reading them seemed to give me a headache as i did have a hard time reading it properly, but it was good for Ben Tripp to give that character a voice.

I really loved the different zombies that Ben Tripp decided to put into this book. The moaners are your substandard, run of the mill zombies, the the edition of the hunters(Which were first introduced in Rise Again) and the thinkers added something. 

Rise Again and Rise Again Below Zero are both going onto my re-read pile, which i’m sure i will get to eventually.
