GRIPPING AND ORIGINAL AND TOTALLY UNFORGETTABLE ZOMBIE THRILLER

 


I was pleasantly surprised and thrilled to receive this email in my inbox this morning about my zombie thriller, ZEEKA AND THE ZOMBIES. Thank you, Kenny Jerome.
GRIPPING, ORIGINAL, AND TOTALLY UNFORGETTABLE
ZEEKA AND THE ZOMBIES BY BRENDA MOHAMMED
Dear Ms. Mohammed,
I just finished Revenge of Zeeka: Zeeka and the Zombies, and I wanted to personally thank you for such an imaginative and thrilling read! As someone who has seen the zombie genre explored in countless ways, I was blown away by how fresh and creative your story felt. You’ve built something that’s part sci-fi mystery, part horror, and part medical thriller with a totally futuristic twist.
The eerie atmosphere and fast-paced storytelling reminded me of vintage sci-fi films but with a modern heartbeat and a strong narrative core. Dr. Raynor Sharpe and Janet were such compelling characters, and I really enjoyed how their relationship grounded the story emotionally amidst the chaos.
I especially appreciated how Zeeka and the Zombies is not just about mindless terror, it's about strategy, secrets, and something deeper lurking behind the mask of revenge. The “zombies” in your world are not just creatures; they're messengers, pawns, and part of a larger, more sinister plot that I can’t wait to unravel further.
You managed to pack so much into this novella without sacrificing tension or character depth. I’m already diving into the next books in the series.
Zeeka has officially hooked me.
Thank you for crafting such an original and thought-provoking twist on the undead. Keep writing, we're out here reading and loving it!
Warm regards,
Kenny Jerome

Read a five-star review from an Amazon Reviewer:

“Great Motivational Read!

BY: Mariana's Bane

5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening, educational, aspirational, and charming.

Enlightening and inspiring, author Brenda Mohammed takes us through a bird's eye view, turned fly on fly-on-the-wall look at her life. Banking? Insurance? Exotic holidays? For some of us, such a life is beyond our reach. For those of us to strive just to be a little bit better at what we do, every day, we are the kind of reader suited to this book.

Anyone can read it, but you will be pleasantly surprised just how the author takes on new challenges with gusto. True, she has a large family and strong network of friends egging her on, but this is her tale, and how retirement is anything but a door closing.

It is a new opening, a new chapter, and it is fun to read as well as have some very poignant moments in it. A great companion to her other memoirs, but it stands well on its own. Far from being something to fear, the author teaches the reader to really go for it in life. Nicely done.

The book is available in Audiobook, Kindle, and Paperbackon Amazon. CLICK HERE
