I loved this book......until halfway through when NOTHING made any sense. It started feeling like it was rushed and chaotic. Sadly, I didn't like it and threw in the towel. It had so much more potential, sad really.

The first half of this story was decent but somewhere around the middle it lost it for me. Sadly not a book for me.

I was able to read this book thanks to NetGalley. It was a very entertaining and fast paced thriller. I enjoyed the story and characters and recommend it to all thriller lovers. It was scary, spooky, and creepy and I loved it! I will be looking out for more books from this author in the future. Thanks again to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

I’m admittedly a fan of The Walking Dead and 28 Days Later. I also have to admit that lately that spectrum has been inundated by lackluster, same-old same-old. Canni brought new life to the genre. Containing all the desired ingredients (drama, action, horror, romance, tragedy, humor & heroism), this was a story I couldn’t put down.

I liked the premise of the book and the first half was great but the second half...
I wanted to give 3 stars but the ending...I didn’t like it at all, made no sense. The characters did things that made no sense whatsoever, were not logical at all,

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy.

I love a good horror story. I read the genre so much that sometimes I feel like I'm reading the same story with different characters. That was not the case with this novel. Really well done and I did not see that ending coming!

I really enjoyed this book and I ended up giving it a four star. It is a real page turner. I was drawn in from the beginning.

Terrifying read. Cash, Rob and Theresa are headed cross country for a Vegas trip, and a possible wedding, when life as they know it is forever changed. Everywhere they turn people are turning Canni and wanting to kill those around them. How do you survive? What a read for the 2020 COVID19 pandemic.

Thank you NetGalley, Daniel O’Connor and Blood Bound Books for this edition and hearing my honest review. Looking forward to reading more with you

I loved, loved, loved this book until about half way through, when it suddenly lost the plot and became a rushed, chaotic mess. There were hints of humor sprinkled among the social commentary and gore in the first part of the book, but the second half was farcical and made me totally rethink what had gone before. It is a shame, and I’m not really sure what the author was thinking. The first half would get 4 stars from me. I delayed whether the second half would reduce it by one or two stars, but I went with two stars after careful consideration, because the ending ruined the whole book for me.

This book felt like a breath of fresh air in an oversaturated genre.

It would be a standard zombie survival book except that the virus causes people to temporarily become flesh eating zombies for 10-15 minute stints, then return to their senses with no memory of ripping off the faces of their loved ones. It means that killing these zombies has more ethical connotations than your standard zombie, that’s a whole world of fun to explore and amps up the tension because you wonder if the character is going to be able to wait it out or if they’re going to have to kill grandma… As the virus isn’t transmitted by bite, it also means that anyone can turn at any time.

The story starts from the perspective of multiple characters and I was surprised by all of the ways they tied in with each other near the end, it was incredibly well done and seamless.
Some of the characters are much more likeable than others, I found myself enjoying most of the secondary characters more than the main couple but there’s plenty to go around!

The author has really thought outside the box with this one, the ending being something that you’ll either love or hate. I’m feeling pretty whimsical at the moment so I really enjoyed it, I’m really curious at to what other people will think about it.

This was such an interesting take on zombies, it kept me so entranced. Could you kill a loved one if they had turned zombie if you knew they’d be okay in a few minutes?

This question drives the story in a major way, with lots of twists and turns along the way. I really enjoyed it!

I loved this post apocalyptic story. A unique and different zombie tale this is a fantastic twist on what has become a somewhat flooded genre in the past few years. Definitely a standout for me. Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for the arc.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley.

Canni is a .. fascinating read, that's for sure.
During a road trip, friends find themselves traveling through a "changing" country.
There's a man-made virus causing people to turn into murdering creatures, but the shocker is that they return bqack to themselves after! How is this possible? How do you defned yourself against this, and how do you live with this?!
The storyline was unique, and easy to follow.

I'd love to read more by this author.

I really did not much care for the book, “Canni” , which I received as an ARC digital copy form Netgalley.
The plot is a variation of curse of the zombies. It seems that a forging power, use aircraft to verily the US, spreading a bio Che iCal compound that turned people in to psychotics who, or that, would attack anyone standing near. They would tear through throats, leaving gory bodies everywhere.
I realize that when talking about a zombie a attack it may sound ludicrous to complain that the. Book’s characters were not particularly likeable, but they were not. One might think there was someone to care about, but everyone seemed like a refugee from a teen slasher movie. “Canni” read like the first effort of a self- published author. There is a plethora of zombie novels on the book lists And some very good ones. Look elsewhere.
Not much to recommend here.

The story was a great take on a z0mbie apocalypse. It's different than the typical story about a zombie virus outbreak. The story and characters were interesting. I enjoyed reading the book and would recommend it to all fans of zombie stories. It's one of the best.

I am not personally one for "virus" type horror, but O'Connor placed a spin on the sub-genre that truly intrigued me.

I am thankful for trying this book out, as it far surpassed my expectations. What I love about genre writing, is plot and pacing. This has both, and in spades. I will most certainly be trying the new stuff once it comes out.

What would happen if the zombie virus was temporary? How could you go back to your normal life after you had eaten your spouse, or your children? Several characters try to process what they've done, and work to stop it from happening again. There are quite a cast of characters in this book, from naked tunnel-dwellers to the President. They do find a "cure" that is unconventional, and everything works out in the end. Or does it?

I loved this book. I left it at work one night- I read during lunch- and really thought about making the hour drive each way to get it. It's that good!

What an great book. This was one of those unique zombie books that I couldn't put down. Held my attention from the start with plenty of suspense, twists, turns and made me laugh a time or two. Highly recommend!

I received a copy of Canni from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I am honestly glad I did not pay for this book. I was excited to read it based on other reviews. However, I didn’t find it good at all. I didn’t think it was scary at all. And the “cure” was just ridiculous, in my opinion. Oh well.

I enjoyed the book. Every now and then I'd wished for more connection to the characters but it was a good writing of a non-zombie-horror-tale.
