I've watched a lot of The Walking Dead and Fear The Walking Dead and I do have to tell you that rise of the undead was pretty good. I can't wait to read the next book in the series I really enjoyed the adventures that Matt and Aaron had to deal with and I wish the boys well just sorry that it was Aaron that killed his dad and not even realize that that's who he shot.

I really loved this book and the setting of the story just whisks you back in time to the days of the Orient Express! I have never read this author before and it was quite a surprise that the book just captures the feel of days gone by.
The year is 1914. The Orient Express has just departed Paris, France with businessmen and important people on board. The two main characters, Sam Carter a/k/a adventurer and Lucas Avery a/k/a British diplomat are literally right in the thick of it on board the train. It seems that there are other interesting characters aboard the train as well including what seems to be royalty with a Count and Countess along with their man servant on board.
The book starts off with a little world building and character descriptions, but when the screams start on the train is when the books kicks into high gear. Sam Carter along with Lucas Avery investigate and what they find is beyond their imagination. No one would ever dream that vampires are riding the train, but that is what Sam and Lucas find when they delve deep into the train cars.
The book reminds me of the old "cloak and dagger" stories, but this one has more of a twist as instead of cloak and daggers the characters have "stakes and holy water".
The book moves along at a fast pace and I was entranced by the feeling of the characters as it really makes you feel that you have been transported back in time. The story literally flows along and keeps the mystery of the vampires secret or I should say "cloaked in the shadows" until the big reveal.
The author, Shane Carrow, just grabs the reader from the first page and literally throws them on a time machine back to 1914. The atmosphere of the Orient Express surrounds the reader and makes them feel like they are really there.
I did have this starred with 4 stars, but the more I think about it I have decided to make it 4.5 which I will round up to 5 stars as I really did love this story and will be putting it on my favorites shelf.

What an awesome surprise. I wasn't expecting the story to grab me like it did. The twist though.
