Jeremiah and his sidekick, Joe have been slaying zombies for awhile now. Joe is his dog and actually Joe the 4th. The previous three Joes have since met their demise. We meet them years after the zombies took over. This is known as Deadbreak and was in 2027. They are on their way to the west coast to find Jeremiah's daughter, Penny. Currently they are staying in a makeshift town in Montana. When the town is over run and his friends Jenny and Sophie get kidnapped by the CCB, Jeremiah and Joe have to save them. From here the difficult situation continue. Jeremiah is a great zombie slayer, but he seems to keep getting into trouble. Thankfully Jenny and Joe by his side. Jeremiah also is a bit of a joker. Some might even say sarcastic and egotistical. But he's oh so funny. The adventures continue as they continue to move west to find Penny and meet many unsavory characters. This was one of the funniest yet tense zombie reads for me. Totally loved this book.

Mad Max with zombies..that's the best description I can come up with. It was a fun, action-packed book to read with a tough, sarcastic protagonist whose only mission is to find his daughter. But secretly he's also a bit of a good guy so he gets side-tracked a couple of times. The book has gory bits but it's not as dark as you would have expected even with certain events taking place because of the humor our main character uses in the narrative. (I loved the talks with his dog Joe!)

It was a nice change of scenery within the zombie apocalypse genre and one I would recommend if you don't mind some unbelievable recoveries of injuries etc. (just like your regurlar action movie). For me personally the gun talk was a bit much and too much information and the ending felt a little abrupt and anticlimatic, but apart from that I had a great time reading and will give it a solid 3.5 stars.

Move over Rick Grimes, there’s a new lovable, apocalyptic zombie killing dude in town! Jeremiah Reid is on a single-minded mission to find his daughter, hopefully she’s safe on Hawaii, but he doesn’t know for sure. By his side is his steadfast friend, Joe the 4th who has a penchant habit of ripping zombie throats. Never has there been such a friend since Sam, in I Am Legend. The discussions between man and dog are a part of what makes this book so great. Jeremiah wasn’t a pre-end-of-days survivalist gathering stores and weapons, nor was he in the military; he was just your normal average guy. Three years after the virus breaks out, this every-day man has managed by luck and a bit of common sense, and well maybe a little more luck, to stay alive and survive. You might ask why we need another zombie book, and the answer is: Because in Deadbreak we meet crispy-coated gummy bear Jeremiah, who just can’t help diving in to help people, and there is no need to say anymore.

I was attracted to this book initially by the cover. Although I’m no expert, it looks like an image of an Alsatian, but the dog in the book is a mix between a Husky and a Pitbull.
There are some formatting issues and a few mistakes in the book which just indicate it needs a little more attention to appear really professional. Besides that this was a great read, fast-paced, thrilling with characters you really want to root for. I would definitely read more by Jorge Sanchez as I loved his quip filled narrative.

I was given a copy of this book for review.

I enjoy a well written a zombie story. This book was well written and very enjoyable to read. The two main characters are funny and seem very real. The dog, Joe, made the book for me. I came across a line where all animals but bovines are immune from the zombie virus. No additional comments on zombie cows were written. I hope to come across zombie cows later in the book but no.

The gallows humor had me laughing or smiling throughout the book. This book is enjoyable and hopefully, more will be written.

we have two main characters, Jeremiah (human) and Joe Number Four (canine), and life kind of sucks for these guys. A few years prior to their present day, (July 11th, 2027, to be exact), a team of speleologists explored a previously unmapped cave system, from which they recovered samples of some special little ants. These ants carried a fungus that spread to humans and gave millions of people a really bad case of the munchies. The world goes to hell in a hand basket and Jeremiah ends up separated from his daughter. HIs plan is a simple one; kill the zombies, find his daughter.

I loved the writing style. I found my self "hearing" Jeremiah's voice in my head, and he sounds, to me, a lot like Dead Pool....snarky, sarcastic, hysterical. All good things. Sanchez had me laughing out loud a few times at the "conversations" Jeremiah and Joe had. I think it is too common in post apocalyptic/zombie books, for the author to focus too much on the landscape and dwell on how horrible everything is, and they neglect dialogue and character interactions. Deadbreak was successful in not falling into that category.

All in all, I found Deadbreak to be an enjoyable read. I liked the pace, the characters, the blood and the gore. If zombies are your jam, check it out.

Thank you to NetGalley for this wonderful novel in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was something different for me as i dont normally do this genre. Im so glad i did though, i really enjoyed it, so i will be sure to check more of this type of book out so thank you!

Four solid stars for Deadbreak by Jorge Sanchez. Full of action, zombies and guns (oh, the sweet, sweet guns!) Deadbreak is a thrilling, fast paced horror novel that will hold your attention to the last word.

Deadbreak follows a group of survivors in the post-apocalyptic Great Northwest as they fight off zombies, gangs, slavers, cannibals and a host of other miscreants. At the center of the action is Jeremiah Reid, and his dog, Joe, as they seek to find Jeremiah's young daughter after a pandemic has devastated the world. Jeremiah is an every-man type character who has developed the skills necessary to navigate the treacherous new world while not losing his humanity. Joining the fun is Jenny, a former veterinarian and D1 Volleyball player. Displaying heart, brains and kickass fighting skills, she is no damsel in distress.

Fast paced, action packed and, at times, downright funny, this is a worthy entry in the post-apocalyptic fiction universe. Loved the characters and witty dialogue.

I really enjoyed this book, 5 very enthusiastic stars. If you like PA novels give it a read, you won’t be disappointed.

While I came across this book on NetGalley.com, it has already been released and is available on Amazon and part of Kindle Unlimited.
