Briar's Reviews

Beyond Exile was the second book in the Day by Day Armageddon book.

Honestly, this one didn't work as well for me as the first one. It felt like halfway through this book there was a shift from the cool journal like entries to a more story based route for presentation. It was noticeable and just didn't hold my attention as much as the journal entries. I also don't know much about military, planes or cars so I felt at a loss and had to constantly research what was going on in the book. I felt like I was spending more time on the internet trying to understand what was going on than actually reading the book. I also felt that there was a lot in this book that could have been left out and the story would have remained unchanged. 

That being said, it's still a great book. It's just not a book for me as a reader. I won't be continuing with this series but I will look up some spoilers for how it ends. J.L. Bourne has crafted one super cool but and I really appreciate the uniqueness of it!

Three out of five stars.

An ongoing journal depicting one man's personal struggle for survival, dealing with the trials of an undead world unfolding around him. An unknown plague sweeps the planet. The dead rise to claim the Earth as the new dominant species. Trapped in the midst of a global tragedy, he must make decisions ... choices that ultimately mean life, or the eternal curse to walk as one of them.
