BOOK REVIEW: This Would Be Paradise by N.D Iverson

                                       

4.5/5 Stars

Blurb:
In a world where a virus has spread turning most of the population into flesh eating monsters, there are two friends partying it up in New Orleans when the infection hits. Far away from home, they are trapped and trying to make sense of all that has happened with the help of new friends and enemies along the way. Zombies aren't the only thing to fear...

Review: 

Where do I start with this? 

On the whole, I shouldn't have liked this book that much. It was a zombie story, something I'm not that keen on anyway and it was also pretty cliche. I mean, we've all seen end of the world, zombie apocalypse stories done time and time again. 

In saying all that, I loved this book! The characters were very relatable and real, and the story had me hooked at almost all points. 

There were even points where it could have been predictable where the author changed it around. For example, I was 99% sure there was going to be a romance element with one of the 3 guys. Though there was a tiny glimmer, it didn't work out that way. 

Honestly, I would have awarded this book 5 stars. The only things that brought it down a little for me was the fact that the story wasn't the most original and that it didn't wrap up at the end. It's going to be a sequel. I would have liked to see it finish on one book. 

Exploring Goodreads and Seeking Reviews

I joined Goodreads a while ago but I never really explored what you can do on there. I didn't realise there are all sorts of different groups you can join on there, all with their own forums. It's been great to explore and make new connections.

This week I've been focusing on reviews, and a few lovely people have agreed to read and review Synergy, as well as be a Beta reader for part 2. It's pretty scary, putting yourself out there, but you have to, right? You'll never get anywhere if you don't try.

I'm on holiday from work for 2 weeks after today so I'm looking forward to grafting on part 3. I took to pen and paper a few nights ago to plan it out - something I've never done! I even got the highlighters out for key words and made a mind map. Hopefully the chapters will start to flow soon and I'll have a semi-solid plan.

I do find that I write better when I don't plan it out 100% but I still need some sort of structure, so I know exactly where I'm going with it.

I've just finished work so I think I'll have a lazy Sunday with what's left of it, then get to it tomorrow.
