Story4.5 out of 5 stars 140
Cassie Forrest isn't surprised to learn that the day she’s decided to get her life together is also the day the world ends. After all, she’s been on a self-imposed losing streak since her survivalist parents died: she’s stopped painting, broken off her engagement to Adrian and dated a real jerk. Rectifying her mistakes has to wait, however, because Cassie and her friends have just enough time to escape Brooklyn for her parents’ cabin before Bornavirus LX turns them into zombies, too.

Rose Winter has enough problems. With a marriage going down the tubes and a dreaded anniversary party on the horizon, the last thing she needs is the zombie apocalypse. She wanted to get drunk and sing karaoke, not murder her undead neighbors. It’s clear the party’s over, however, now Rose has more problems - a missing husband, an overbearing houseguest, and keeping her family alive.

Since childhood Nila Carter has been made to spend every weekend at the family cabin. In her teenage years she believes it to be a prison; as an adult it becomes her sanctuary and means to survive. When a mysterious outbreak occurs in India, Nila's brother, Bobby, a virologist with the CDC, places the family on a precautionary alert to be ready to bug out. Unlike anything he's ever seen, the rabies-like virus is not just deadly; it causes extreme violent behavior in those infected.

With their Safe Zone overrun by the undead, taking refuge in the mountains seems like the safest bet for Rose, Tom, and the other survivors. There's one catch, however—between last spring's human exodus and a neighboring group's stockpiles, there's no food left to scavenge. They know to be wary of people and zombies, but a new adversary proves itself just as relentless—hunger. Supplies are slim in the wilderness, and living off the land is easier said than done. As winter sets in, and their food dwindles to nothing, they discover how far they'll go to save the ones they love.

For dinosaurs, it was a big rock. For humans: Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). When the Earth is hit by the greatest CME in recorded history (several times larger than the Carrington Event of 1859), the combined societies of the planet's most developed nations struggle to adapt to a life thrust back into the Dark Ages. In the United States, the military scrambles to speed the nation's recovery on multiple fronts including putting down riots, establishing relief camps, delivering medical aid, and bringing communication and travel back on line. Just as a real foothold is established in retaking the skies (utilizing existing commercial aircraft supplemented by military resources and ground control systems), a mysterious virus takes hold of the population, spreading globally over the very flight routes that the survivors fought so hard to rebuild.

It was just a random mutation - one of a billion that happen in viruses every day. But this one was different. It exploded out of Somalia and spread across the oceans before anybody thought to look up from their cell phones to see what was going on. The infected breathed the virus into the air around them, spreading it through the cities faster than anyone thought possible. Hospitals were overwhelmed. Police lines crumbled. Quarantine sites disintegrated. Cities started to collapse.

Publisher's Summary
From the universe of the Until the End of the World series. (Note: The City Series can be heard before or after the Until the End of the World series)
Sylvie Rossi has the loner thing down pat, with the exception of her best friend, Grace. But when the two are trapped in a hospital during the last gasp of a dying city, alone time is no longer an option. A nurse's offer of sanctuary promises Sylvie the supplies she needs to survive the zombies - it's the coexisting with people that might do her in.
Eric Forrest will do whatever it takes to get into the dead city for his sister, including ending up dead himself. He's used to taking risks, but with every mile he travels death looks likelier and likelier, and finding his sister may be his only prospect for survival - if he can make it home.
Sylvie doesn't need more than food, water, and shelter. Eric wants only to find his sister. But sometimes what we think we need isn't what we need at all, and what we find is more than we expected.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Laughed outloud too
TLDR- it's good, read it.
I love good End of the World books, give me a fictional virus or other apocalyptic scenarios, and I've read the best for the last 50 years. Generally I'm not a huge fan of zombie books, because it's usually just an excuse to blah blah blah about guns, fire power, and gratuitous violence, and while guns are important, they aren't THE story, and shouldn't be. So usually I skip the whole genre. I don't care that so and so uses a Sig sauer whatever (obviously as I can't spell it) as that's a boring way to write a story. Give us people, plot, interesting scenarios and make them even slightly likeable and I'll happily go 24/7 listening.
What I enjoy is the "survival" part of a book, how they get to where they do. Back that up with actual facts and show ways that people can and do survive, and I'll own your book forever. If it's good. This set's good.
I started this author's other series last week. Also finished it last week. Really enjoyed the human parts of the story- appreciate this author's use of humour, and without even skipping a beat I hopped into this series. The only part I was disappointed with was the zombies in the last series, they seemed almost too removed from the story, and the stakes were not so bad even though they were being pushed into a terrifying (to this Canadian who knows winter) Alaska almost without a fight. In that series as this one, the people, the humans are the important characters. I was sad to finish the trilogy.
I absolutely ADORE Sylvie, her youthful thoughts and inner monologues are MY once youthful thoughts and inner monologue, which is why I often just laugh. She's me. Snarky, funny, bitchy and repentant and fearless when needed. (I don't kill Zombies...)
Absolutely LOVE that we get Eric and sister Cassie's story in another series that can be listened to by itself. I'm thrilled by how much better a writer Sarah Lyon's Fleming is in just a few more books, and there were quite a few laugh out loud parts are in a serious book. It's good, I bought the entire series, and having enjoyed both narrators, I'd happily listen to them 24/7 for at least another week.

Good...
I absolutely ADORED the End of the World series especially with Julia Whelan reading. I found this novel, and the next in the series, just seemed to drag on. I loved how we got to hear Eric's story (and that he is alive!) but the narrator was soooo boring to listen to. Never was there excitement or fear in his voice. I would often find my mind wandering during his chapters. Sylvie's character was great and relatable!

Must listen! You WILL NOT be disappointed!!!
I have a new favourite author! I am halfway through my second series by Sarah Lynns Fleming and I cannot get enough! Her character development is unmatchable, you literally feel like each character is a friend or enemy that comes to life in your mind! I had started to feel like all apocalypse books were too much alike until I discovered these listens. Narrator does an excellent job as well. If you are looking for a good mix of scares, laughs, and tears then you need to give this author a listen, you will not regret it!

Having read and enjoyed the ‘Until the end of the world’ series I thought this would be a good bet. I was right. You won’t find earth shattering revelations or philosophy but you will ding evolving characters, good description and a decent (if familiar) apocalypse scenario. It’s well researched and well written. I suggest it without hesitation.

Suspenseful, scary, funny, human
I love that it's the other side of the other title Until the End of the World and that you actually don't need to have read one, to follow the other. They complement each other very well. Nicely written, easy listening. I couldn't stop listening and couldn't wait for the next session.
I am so getting the other books of the series!

Feel Good Zombie Stories!
Any additional comments?
Loved it! If you are new to this author, stop! Check out her trilogy + novella, Until The End of The World. Mordacious is a spin off of that series. It is not essential that you read Until the End of the World first to enjoy this book, but I recommend you do.
Do you like zombie / survival stories – but hate to get bogged down with endless tragedy and after tragedy? I love apocalyptic novels, but I am often turned off by plots that take the reader down a dark hole (evil humans, society at its worst, characters spending the entire book trying to find a way out of a hopeless and ugly scenarios). While Fleming’s novels include all these elements, her books center on the dynamics of the survival group. The plot is centered on her characters, their struggles, and growth – that happen to be in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.
Fleming wrote the first “Feel Good” Zombie story I have ever read – and it was such a breath of fresh air! That is, when my heart wasn’t racing from fearing for my beloved characters well being and safety.
Narration: I am a narrator snob. I have loved Luke Daniels since “The Druid” series… he does a fine job here. I am new to Therese and thought she was a little better fit for the character she’s playing. The story is told from two points of view, so that is why we get a male and female narrator. When the two characters are together, the narrators get to play off each other, the narration really shines. I saw one negative review of the narration and I honestly don’t know what they are talking about. The narration is great.
Can't wait for the next installment!

Feel Good Zombie Apocalypse
I was excited to find Sarah Lyons Fleming had released another book in the Until the End realm. I loved the first series and have listened to it multiple times. I must admit I love this book more than any of the three in the original trilogy and novella.
I love how real these characters were, how SLF made them loveable even with their flaws. Sylvie's and Grace's friendship is enviable. The humor between them and Sylvie and Eric is perfect. I never thought a post apocalyptic book could make me laugh out loud so many times, as well as feel fear or sadness.
This book has joined my top 5 books of all times. SLF has a real gift for words. I can't wait for the next book.

✫✫ 4.5 Stars ✫✫
I can't even begin to explain how happy I was to find out this was Eric's journey. I wondered many times what happened to him while listening to The End of the World series. In the beginning I wasn't sure how I was going to like these characters. Sylvia has mommy issues and she can be very self-deprecating. But she quickly grew on me. I really enjoyed the City aspect of this book, knowing how they would manage in NYC was really different from the other part of this world. Eric was a great characters from the beginning, I love how he just coasts along making his was into NYC. He is a great hero. I also love how such different groups of people find a way to help each other in this book. The details of the city travel is awesome, I felt like I was in the ruins of New York with these characters when they were trying to make their way from place to place.
The narration is great. Therese Plummer is always awesome and so is Luke Daniels but hearing them in duet style was perfect!!!!

It's like the book is split into two parts.
At first, "Mordacious" starts off as the average zombie scenario. In fact, deja vu might occur with all of the familiarity. The character personalities, survival situations, tools they use, settings, and internal struggles can be found in other similar material. Halfway through the book, however, things start to shift gears into something that involves a lot more emotional drama. It's pretty much a different audiobook after that point as the entire tone and pacing of the story changes. Zombies randomly fade into the background as relationships happen, couples ogle, emotions are repeatedly developed and discussed, and psychologically is extensively explored.
Therese Plummer and Luke Daniels were an outstanding team to voice this audiobook. Both have terrific range and get the emotions across for every written scene perfectly. This alone makes the audiobook worth it, despite the story itself being a touch predictable in areas.
The story is set mostly in New York and split between the first person perspectives of two characters; Sylvie and Eric. Sylvie being the main character for most of the story. An interesting character with mild social anxieties, Sylvie is as interesting as she is uptight because she is constantly worried about what others are thinking of her while attempting to deal with stresses that come with a zombie apocalypse. Eric is survivor searching for his family and has a bit of a fatalistic sense of humor.
This book is recommended to listeners who enjoy romance with a toe dipped in survival horror. If you are expecting more traditional zombie thrills, then the first half of the book is for you. If you are expecting a book that has romance and dramatic discussion, then the second half of the book is for you.

Harlequin Zombies?
Any additional comments?
I really enjoyed her first series with Cassie and friends, and while I liked finding out what happened to her brother there was way too little zombie action and way too much romantic angst. This seemed like a book written for a harlequin romance series with a bit of zombies thrown in. The main female character was just too stereotypical 'nobody can ever love me'. Perhaps having Terese Plummer queen of romantic narration didn't help with that feeling. I will continue the series because I want to find out if they ever meet up with Cassie.

This book was so satisfying!
What made the experience of listening to Mordacious the most enjoyable?
I previously read it before I listened to the audiobook. I think I enjoyed reading it better, but I still loved listening to it.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Sylvie and Eric were probably tied. They are both so funny and witty and i obviously love what's happening between them. Sylvie isn't afraid to stand up for herself and her friends. She doesn't realize the impact that she has on people. She thinks she isn't worth anyone's friendship, but she doesn't realize that anyone she meets loves her. Eric gets her. Knows when to push her and when to back off. He gives her time to adjust to him and he respects her personality traits.
Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels and Therese Plummer ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Sarah has a way with words. She could write the dictionary and I would still listen to it all in one sitting.
Any additional comments?
If you haven't read the prequel series to this, you are missing out. It's called "Until the End of the World" and it has three books. They are so phenomenal. I have re listened and re read probably a dozen times. Do yourself a favor ;) This series is setting up to be the same. I love her writing. And her plot twists.

I have listened....
I have listened this series Starting with Cassie's Journey & all she went through!! I was excited to find this book about her brother Eric & his Journey! I can't wait for the next book to come out!! Even though this series has new narrators they did an amazing job! In a way I'm glad Sarah Lyons Fleming switched narrators for this series! DON'T GET ME WRONG THE OTHER NARRATOR WAS JUST AS AMAZING but I like her voices for Cassie, Nelly, Penny, Anna & Peter as well as all the other Characters for that series! So it's good to have new narrators for Eric & his group!

MUCH MORE THAN YOU EXPECT!
What did you like best about this story?
Please don't think of this as another Zombie book. Sarah Lyons Fleming writes so much better than that. I read her first set of books and if you haven't you should!
This is more of a side story rather than a sequel. Same time frame but this group is in a different area. They are left behind in NYC when the bridges are all bombed.This is more than how they survive the crazy virus that produces zombies.
This is a human relationship book, how people bond together, and it gets your heartstrings just like her other books. You won't want it to end because you don't want to let these people go.
Narrations is perfect!

great story, but not so great performance
It would be a full 5 stars if not for Therese constantly taking dramatic pauses even when they aren't needed. She reminds me of a bad Calculon, a character from Futurama that is a satire of bad tv actors, and is dramatic when the characters are doing something simple like reading a list. I can't say how many times immersion broke because of her performance. Luke did much better, and I think him and Julia Whelan would have been a far better duo.

Love this. More please!
This was a long one but I liked it so much I barely noticed and now I can't wait for more. Hats off the narrators for pulling off so many different voices. Luke Daniels is one of the best. The story was great, the characters were interesting and there's so much potential for the series. Seriously great listen.
