Synopsis

The newest terrifying audiobook in the Walking Dead series, thrillingly written by horror master Jay Bonansinga, is truly infectious...

Lilly Caul has risked everything.

She has weathered over four years of the apocalypse. She has done things that she would not have dreamt of doing in her darkest nightmares. But she has survived. And now, she has staked a claim in the plague-ravaged city of Atlanta. It is a safe haven for her people, rising high above the walker-ridden streets, a place of warmth and comfort.

But for Lilly Caul, something is missing...

She still dreams of her former home—the quaint little village known as Woodbury—a place of heartache as well as hope. For Lilly, Woodbury, Georgia, has become a symbol of the future, of family, of a return to normal life amidst this hell on earth. The call is so powerful that Lilly decides to risk everything in order to go back... to reclaim that little oasis in the wilderness.

Against all odds, against the wishes of her people, Lilly leads a ragtag group of true believers back across the impossible landscape of walker swarms, flooded rivers, psychotic bands of murderers, and dangers the likes of which she has never known. Along the way, she discovers a disturbing truth about herself. She is willing to go to the darkest place in order to survive, in order to save her people, in order to do the one thing she knows she has to do: Return to Woodbury.

Goodreads review by Colleen

Laaaazy. Lazy writing abounds in this series--I mean it has almost the same plots as the last book--like in the last one, Norma gets swept away to certain doom from the group (last time was sewer, this time zombie infested river), like in the last one they leave a place of almost complete and total......more

Goodreads review by Shawn

really difficult getting through this one. The book doesn't flow together well and the characters aren't well developed. The author kills characters off people liked just as soon as you get to know them a little bit.......more

So, confession time. I don’t read every book in this series. I pick them up based on whether or not the plot interest me. I’ve also gotten a bit away from TWD on TV and find that I’m preferring to sit down and read an epic book. And I’m happy to say that Return to Woodbury is definitely epic. Lily Caul......more

Goodreads review by David

eh. that about sums it up. Just seemed like a very lackluster sequel. I remember in the 1st couple of books getting really into due to the very fun descriptions of everything (sights, sounds, smells, etc) now it seems like it was not as thought out. Still fun to read, but not as fun as the 1st coupl......more
