I love when authors take old concepts and put an entirely new spin on them. That's exactly what [author:Brenda Mohammed|7909665] did in [book:Zeeka Chronicles|34389923]

[bookcover:Zeeka Chronicles|34389923]

Just when you thought you knew everything about Zombies, comes this imaginative tale that re-defines their existence.

Set in the future, new technology and scientific breakthroughs open the door to possibilities that are vaguely imaginable in this day and age.

This is a tale of love, lies, revenge and a deadly virus. There is a lot jam-packed into the plot, making for an exciting read.

There were two areas where this book fell short for me.

The first was the dialogue.
Having more than one person speak in the same paragraph can lead to confusion. It also created a situation in which the character speaking constantly needed to say the name of the person they were talking to. That, in itself, comes off as unnatural. I would also suggest the author put extra thought into the way certain characters would speak, especially professionals to each other at work.

The second was the romance.
I don't want to give away any spoilers, but I will say I felt it unrealistic, especially the female lead.

I will be watching for future works by this author. I love the originality and can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

'Zeeka Chronicles: Revenge of Zeeka by Brenda Mohammed opens with Zeeka and the Zombies.
On the island of Gosh in January 2036 Raynor Sharpe is woken by rattling to see a beach full of small robots.
Is he still dreaming?
Raynor is a hospital doctor and so is the woman he secretly loves, but Janet is engaged to another man. Gosh's carnival is turned from an exotic native spectacle to tragedy by a troop of entertainers: zombies who shoot into the audience killing and injuring hundreds.
How can these monsters disintegrate into a heap of dust?
Why is one false head found?
Who is Zeeka, and does he control the zombies?
Why does Janet cancel her wedding?
Can the Chief of Police be trusted, or is he as corrupt as others in the force?
Read on: Zeeka's Child; Zeeka Returns, Zeeka's Ghost, and Resurrection hold the un-guessable answers.
Zeeka Chronicles comprises five books from the Revenge of Zeeka series.
2036 is shown as a technically advanced world by gadgets like watches that act much like today's smartphones plus visual contact, robots and much more.
The story is built on the premise that a doctor discovers a cure for a disease but is prevented from using it, but the plot becomes more entangled the farther you read.
Police corruption, suicide, kidnapping, and a very active ghost.
Brenda Mohammed's writing style is evocative of the future and she handles the science in her fiction brilliantly: reading is believing!
I loved Zeeka Chronicles; it has worldwide appeal for anyone looking for an entertaining story that is different.' ( )

Teens and up will adore this book
By Reviewed.By.Me on March 9, 2017
Format: Paperback
I was thrilled to receive my advance copy of this book because it contains all five Zeeka stories, which are among my favorite spooky reads. This series is about the havoc the sinister Zeeka and his Zombies unleashed on a little island in the Caribbean and the impact on people who live there. The darker side of humanity is explored with unforeseeable plot twists taking the reader down a sometimes grisly path. Thankfully, there is light at the end of the tunnel and I eventually emerged with feelings of redemption and satisfaction. Future tech is highlighted throughout the series making me desire one of the book's robot helpers who does dishes and kicks butt too. ( )
