About this listen
Zombie epidemics are bad for business.
And I thought five dollars plus your brain was a reasonable cover charge.
But you know…supply and demand…
And functioning brains are in short supply these days.
When it came to hunting vampires, I was second to none.
Vampires are intelligent. It also means they have predictable patterns. Figure out their habits and I could take care of most vamps and be back in time for breakfast.
They’re also image-conscious.
But zombies are unpredictable. They run on pure instinct.
They couldn’t care less about public relations.
Their numbers are growing by the hour.
Since I’m an elemental, they can’t smell me. It gives me an advantage that human hunters don’t have.
But will it be enough?
If I can’t stop them, it will mean the end of humanity, the end of the world as we know it.

Good story, but I felt it ended on a sad note
I enjoyed this story which seems to bring a conclusion to the story of the Morning Dawn; however it left some loose ends in Nikki/Nyx story, so maybe there is another book planned. I felt the story ended on a bit of a sad note, kind of a HFN for the city. I agree with another reviewer that the conclusion seemed a bit pat/rushed as far as recovery. The world (or a city) doesn't go back to normal that fast after a tragedy/pandemic. Nikki's final thought soliloquy seems to be an attempt to end on a hopeful note (no pun intended), but it still left me feeling down. The dual narration worked much better and more smoothly than in the last audiobook (No Shift, Sherlock), but there were still instances of repeated lines and part of a chapter, which threw me out of the story. I liked seeing Alice and Mercy play bigger roles again, and I would be eager to see if the vampires as a whole can change in the future.

To shift or not to shift that is the question
Another cracking story from an excellent story creator. As I’ve said before, what is in their heads to get these storylines out. Better and better every time. This is completely different than the usual that’s for sure. Highly recommended listen.

Baskerville Book Reviews
I’ve stated in a previous review just how stupid I find zombies as a monster. A decaying corpse isn’t going to be able to do much when the muscles begin to deteriorate. They’re not scary, interesting, or creative. I came to this story for the series, literary universe, and characters though.
The big issue with this story is something I brought up in my review of The Legend of Nyx, book 3. All of Nicky’s stories are standalone, more or less. While the zombie plague is terrifying, the threat it poses isn’t as scary as it would be if magically animated corpses were a threat for more than one story.
Small spoiler. At the end of the story, Nicky’s club opens back up. It seems too soon, it feels like the gun was jumped with the zombie story. With so many people dead, the area on quarantine for months, etc. It would be years, if not decades before the region would recover. I highly doubt things would just go back to business as usual like nothing ever happened.
I like this story, to an extent. The only reasons I like it are because I think Nicky and her friends/family are interesting characters. I’m a fan of Mercy Brown, so it’s always a wonderful day in my book when she’s in one of these stories. Had this story been written with a different set of characters, I wouldn’t have enjoyed it.
The dual narrators are a nice treat. While I think book 3 suffered due to the male narrator, book 4 was better for it. His lines this time around are much more emotive than they were before.
The version of the audiobook I listened to had numerous instances of repeated dialogue and chapter sections. That took away from my enjoyment and led to confusion on my part. I’ve reported them and the audiobook has supposedly been fixed, but it will be a while before I revisit this series to see if the errors have all been corrected.
