Shattered World by Kate L. Mary

Book Blurb:

Stranded in the middle of the Mojave Desert, surrounded by zombies, Vivian and Axl are sure they’re facing the end. The dead are closing in and the shelter they were promised is sealed tight. Just when they think they’ve run out of time, the doors are thrown open. Five years underground with all the provisions there for the taking. It’s almost too good to be true. With the promise of security, Vivian hopes she’ll finally able to deal with the loss of Emily, her growing feelings for Axl, and the terrifying new world they’re facing.

But their sense of security is soon shattered when they discover the shelter isn’t the utopia they thought it would be. It seems the company that built the shelter decided to solve their financial problems by selling off provisions, which means the group has to find a way to get supplies. Or face starvation.

And Vegas is the closest city.

With her feelings for Axl stronger than ever, Vivian volunteers to accompany him and a few others on a trip into one of the biggest tourist cities in the world. Vegas is overrun with the dead, but there are other survivors as well. Only not everyone they meet is a welcome sight. As the emotional baggage piles up, Vivian and Axl’s bond grows stronger, but it doesn’t take long to realize that zombies aren’t the only thing they have to fear.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Vivian thought it was the end, and then the door to the compound opened and who comes to their rescue? A MOVIE STAR! Thankfully for them someone in the compound was smarter than Mitchell and let them in, but just when they thought things were finally going their way they find out that their haven is little more than an empty shell. Now they have to go out and look for supplies and their only option is Vegas, a city they all know will be crawling with Zombies. While all that craziness is going on Vivian is trying to firgure out her feelings for Axel, but everytime they get close to each other something else happens, will they ever get their "relationship" or lack of one figured out or will everything else keep getting in the way?

Vivian was so tough and awsome in the first book and while I still enjoyed her character this go around, her constant crying become a bit much at times. She's still a tough chick and she's not one to take crap from anyone and it was fun to see her go toe to toe with some of the other characters at times.

Axel and Angus bring their own brand of fun to this story as well keeping you guessing what will happen with them next and what stunts they will pull. We also see more of the other characters helping you get sucked into their world even more wondering who is thinking what and what everyone will do when things are tense.

We see more of what this group does to survive and if you're like me you get even more ideas about what to do if we have our own Zombie apocalypse. ;)
