this was a really good horror novel, the setting was spooky and I really liked the characters themselves. I look forward to more from the author as this was really good.

I really enjoyed this one. I love a zombie story be it book or tv, there were aspects that were cliche and crop up in every zombie story ever, but there were also unique parts that I really really enjoyed. The characters were slightly predictable (a sheriff, a farmer, a diner worker) but were explored in enough detail that I cared about (some) of them. A quick read that I'd recommend.

I liked it. I'm not crazily in love with this story but it moves fast enough and has twists interesting enough to keep the reader's attention. It's not perfect, the beginning is slightly confusing but other than that I can't see a reason not to recommend it to others.

Evolution A200 is a <i>very</i> fast-starting zombie story that had some interesting and unusual turns to it.

It starts out with a group of mostly well-intentioned archeologists excavating the tomb of Romulus, the founder of Rome. Four months later, all of Europe has gone dark and there are rumors of the outbreak being seen on the eastern shores of the United States. A small town in Maine becomes the epicenter for a group of survivors that has to start figuring out what happened and what, if anything, can be done to save humanity. The questions just keep piling up...

Did someone know that there might be something bad in the tomb of Romulus?
How did the plague spread to the United States?
Is there someone that has a cure for this?

This was a decent, albeit short, zombie story that comes on quick and, unfortunately, ends just as quick. There are a lot of different takes on traditional zombie stories in this book: zombies that remember slights from their original life, a zombie virus that is not always fatal, and zombies that aren't mindless killing machines. My biggest issue with the entire story is that it just ends. I understand that this is going to be a part of a larger arc, but this doesn't really clear up much that was brought up during the story. It really just felt like the first half of a story.

I will keep my eyes open for the next installment in this story; if anything just to finish up what I started.

Thank you to Nathaniel Connors, BooksGoSocial, and NetGalley for the eARC of this book in exchange for my honest feedback.

That escalated quickly! Interesting zombie story that moves quickly from first infection to countries being wiped out. Lots of events near the end of the book that ends with soutions up in the air. I hope there will be another book!
