I was given the opportunity to read an electronic copy of Extinct. This is my honest opinion of the book.

27 year old Zombie horror author Georgina Blake is living in a world where her life is imitating her art. A virus outbreak of AM13, which was discovered by a news researcher, turns those who suffer from the infection into the undead. Remaining survivors were told to get to the airport and were flown to an island for safety. Life on the island is not that easy, though, as fear, violence, and terror rule the day. With a complete breakdown of society due to the outbreak, will life for the survivors be as horrific in safety as it was in the outbreak zone?

Georgina comes across as self obsessed, worried more about her appearance and her own life than about the outbreak itself. Although the book is written in a unique voice, with Georgina narrating her own story, it really did not grab my attention in any meaningful way. As an extension of the Outbreak series, it did not hold up to its predecessors for me. I am a big fan of dystopian novels with a paranormal component, so Extinct should have been right up my alley. I found the dialogue to be forced in places and the story was not as compelling as I had hoped. For these reasons, I would not recommend Extinct to other readers.
