Thank you Tara, I’m so glad to hear that you finished it in a day- wow! Really glad it brought out all those emotional reactions too. Book 5 is coming…
Great great book, I loved it.
I am so glad I read this book on Kindle. I thought it was a fun read. So many books on Kindle are dreadful. Poor spelling, poor grammar, poor syntax..just poor. But This novel was a rich delight. Not an apostrophe or comma out of place. Thank you, Mr Grist for making the zombie genre fun again!
I usually don’t like zombie stories that differ much from the original slow moving, brain eating kind.. But i have to say… I liked it, a lot. First time ever… I enjoyed the quirkiness of Amo too… Looks like I found a new author… Thanks Michael

Thanks Kathy, I’m very glad to hear that- I hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
Such an awesome zombie book unlike others that are so predictable. Have searched a long time to find one like this. Ready for book two now 🙂
Loved the Last! I enjoy zombie books and have to admit I am getting tired of the same old, same old story lines. The Last takes a whole new twist on the zombie apocalypse, great characters, suspense, twists and unexpected turns. This was so good that I continued on to The Lost, The Least, The Loss, The List, The Laws and now I am reading The Lash. OMG! Never saw any of the situations coming. Very Inventive, smart, and makes you think. Thanks for the great stories, appreciate your hard work and imagination!

This is what I consider to be a “fun, fast read.” The story was interesting and the book was well written. Reading it allowed me to escape in to the world of zombies. A few times I even laughed out loud. Recommend this book to your friends.
I love zombie/apocalyptic stories and this series is one of my favourites. Turns zombie folklore on its head and the lead characters are so relatable. I’ve read and re-read these books 3 times already. I guiltily want the world to continue to challenge our heroes yet long for a happy ending just so I can keep reading about it! Thanks for a great read MJG ?
I absolutely loved this book. When it comes to zombies, you get all my attention. I have also read most of the secondary books.
Although Zombie-books normally aren’t my genre I really enjoyed the book and finished it in one-go! The same was with the Saint’s Rise. Very entertaining and captivating!
Having read well over 200 zombie genre books, some good and some bad The Last Mayor was different. It felt like the Mayor was a hippie who was zoned out all of the time. But considering that the end of the world was here, that is cool too. Looking forward to the next 2
I would like to be on your ARC team
