Book Excerpt:
"Black Summer meets the hood version of The Walking Dead."
"When a mysterious STD starts making its rounds, spreading at lightning speed from city to city, the government turns a blind eye to what appears to be a hoax. Negligence leads to a pandemic as the situation spirals out of control, and the infected citizens begin to turn into crazed, flesh-eating zombies that run amok, attacking everyone they encounter.
In the heart of the zombie-infested Chicago, a ragtag group of survivors is trying to make it through alive; exotic dancers Brittoni and her younger sister Kennedi, a dope boy named Dekari, Lex - a scammer, Tahara and Ariah - a hairstylist and nail tech duo, and a rapper known as Grimez. As life as they know it starts to crumble and fall around them, they are determined to survive until a vaccine is developed – and hope that things don't go awry."

Review:
"Chi-Raq: A State of Ruin" by Jade Jones
My Speculations:
Was this the end of the world in this 'Zombie Apocalypse' for Kehlia, Kennedi, Brittoni, Grimez, Lex, Gabriella, and Ariah. Dekari, Milley, Haze, Jamie, and Tahara? Will this hybrid STD end it all for those who have been bitten? Maybe there will be a cure through Gabby? I am not much of a reader of horror, but I will say this one kept my attention turning the pages to see what was coming next.
The reader will have to wait to see what's next in part 2 as the leading group has been faced with joining a much larger group. Will this be the right way to go for them? I guess we will have to wait and see.
