Deadbreak by Jorge Sanchez

Deadbreak by Jorge SanchezIt’s been three long years since Deadbreak. That’s what everyone’s calling it – the day the dead rose. Every day since then Jeremiah Reid has had one goal: to make his way back to his daughter. With his four-legged companion, Joe, Jeremiah has to travel a lawless wasteland teeming with zombies, bandits, and worse, like people who put anchovies on pizza (you know who you are).
It’s a new world out there and no one is safe. People are weary, cities are in ruin, supplies are scarce, and brains are on the menu. If he’s going to have a chance, he’ll need his wits, a little bit of luck, and lots of ammo.

Amazon reviews for Deadbreak by Jorge Sanchez

5 stars Deadbreak by Jorge SanchezOk, so I read ALOT. And while waiting for my very long list of followed authors to pop out my next fix I read suggested material and some features that pop up on here. Some are hit and miss, some I stop 3 chapters in and wonder if it’s cliff notes version of a real story. However I found this little gem yesterday and it is THE best thing I’ve read in a few weeks. Gritty, funny, great characters, zombies, bad guys and more guns and one-liners than you can shake a rotten limb at. I Highly suggest Deadbreak by Jorge Sanchez.

One of the best zombie books I’ve read in a long time.
I’ve loved the zombie genre for a long time, but, for me, they have to be about the people, rather than the zombies as the #1 focus. These are disaster stories, and how the people get through them. This had everything I want in a zombie book: great characters, good dialogue, a story that progresses. Too often they break down to kill zombie, blood everywhere, on to next fight. This has characters who remind me of what one of the best, Mark Tufo, does.

5 stars Deadbreak by Jorge SanchezSure it is a post-zombie apocalypse, but does that mean one can’t find a witty main character with a loyal dog making their way across the country like a couple of pinball trouble magnets on a quest? Well worth the read.

“This is the greatest book ever written in the history of books. And writing. A billion stars.” – Author’s Mom.

“Will you please stop pestering me? Fine, I’ll write you a review. Two stars, because someone forgot to load the dishwasher again.” – Author’s Wife.

But most of all, she believes that magic exists within everyone who chooses to use it. When not writing, her procrastination techniques include trying out bread recipes, working on various art projects, and watching copious amounts of YouTube videos.
