I loved, loved this story there are so many interesting
twists that really keeps you on the edge and holding your breath. Granny was a
wonderful lady that keeps you laughing. Even at 104 her mind is sharp, quick,
smart and very clever. There are serious scenes that grab you leaving you
breathless but at the same time you can’t help but chuckle or laugh. It is a
story I could relate to being a teen and not knowing how to talk to the
elderly, being bored out of your mind, doing everything you can to relieve that
boredom. Zombies are not one of my
favorite genre's although I have really enjoyed a few but this one I thought
really blow it away from the characters to the story line it was very
entertaining.
Ms. Peterson really impressed me with her many different
characters and their voices that really fit not only the story line but the
characters. She really brings this story to life with her very talented voice
you forget you are listening to an audio as she gives very vivid scenes that
takes you to another level in your mind as you picture the scenes before your
eyes. There is no repeat of wording, no background noise or any place there was
a volume change. If any breaks were taken I could not tell. The audio is very crisp, clean with lots of
emotion delivered in a way you feel each characters emotion, knowing just what
they are going through and what they are feeling. She gives you a smooth listen
with a rich voice that leaves you lost in the plot as she takes you away to
another time and place. I have listened to a few of her audios and I think I
like this one the best. I really hope she does the next book in this series and
it will not be long before it is out. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
I found this story to be believable, rich and exciting. The
author gives a wonderful plot that pulls you in, with a little spiritual in the
mix giving you a meaningful listen but isn’t over powering. It was a wonderful
clean read with a little romance mixed in. This is a story that would be for
all ages and one a family can listen to together and really enjoy discussing it
as they go along. It would be great for a long family trip with long hours of
driving. Liam is your normal teen but
when it comes down to what is important he learns fast and steps up to the
plate putting his grandmother first trying his best to get her to safety. There
are many paths and road blocks they must get through along with a few lives
lost that you feel to your bones. There is a play on the government and what
they are willing to do and not do to help the people. So much unknown, excitement
and thrills will come your way as you take a wild ride on a train with the
zombies on the hunt never far behind and sometimes ahead. Bottom line I was
hooked almost from the first page to the last. It was a very enjoyable listen
from the plot to the narration.

Summary
Banished by bad decisions to spend the summer with his great-grandmother,
Liam Peters thinks his life is over. After all, Marty Peters is a tough woman
to be around. Maybe she wouldn't be so bad if she'd just take an interest in
the modern technology he loves. Sure, she has some insight to her...but the
woman is practically "pushing daisies". Not surprisingly, as tornado
sirens announce a city-wide emergency, Liam discovers why that term should be
avoided...well...like the plague. When Grandma Marty tries to send him on his way, refusing to abandon her home, Liam sees his situation in a new light. Something deep inside awakens - and he chafes at the thought of leaving his 104-year-old grandmother to die. Armed with two tiny pistols and an arsenal of knowledge from his overwhelming zombie book collection, Liam realizes he could be the hero and accomplish the impossible: rescue her.
With the interstate gridlocked, opportunist criminals looking to take what they can get, law enforcement desperate to keep the peace, and the military declaring St. Louis a war-zone, Liam and Marty find themselves wrapped up in a world of chaos and panic. But when the zombies begin to overshadow everything else, Liam comes to appreciate why there are no atheists in foxholes.
Since the Sirens is the gripping first installment of E. E. Isherwood's hit post-apocalyptic series Sirens of the Zombie Apocalypse. If you like to watch society collapse, zombie hordes bear down on the heroes, and skin-of-teeth escapes, you won't be able to pause this awesome story!
