PUG REVIEW: TWO WEEK NOTICE BY RACHEL CAIN

TWO WEEK NOTICE (REVIVALIST #2) RACHEL CAIN
                                                                                          BLURB:
Two Weeks' Notice (Revivalist, #2)Bryn Davis knows working at Fairview Mortuary isn't the most glamorous career choice, but at least it offers stable employment--until she discovers her bosses using a drug that resurrects the clientele as part of an extortion racket. Now, Bryn faces being terminated--literally, and with extreme prejudice.

Wit the help of corporate double-agent Patrick McCallister, Bryn has a chance to take down the bigger problem--pharmaceutical company Pharmadene, which treats death as the ultimate corporate loyalty program. She'd better do it fast, before she becomes a zombie slave--a real working stiff. She'd be better off dead...

IN-SHORT: A good read and follow on from working stiff but felt a little rushed overall.

Ginny's (THE PUG'S) review:


Two week notice is a follow on book from the amazingly written working stiff which explores a new take on the zombie genre. 

Two week notice follows Bryn as she tries to move on with her life being almost dead while having to investigate for the government or else they will cut off her supply and allow her to slowly rot. But as she investigates is the good guys actually the good guys and what is happening to the rest of the addicts? 

Unfortunately although still amazingly written this new adventure with our main character Bryn Davis lacks the certain sparks that draw me to working stiff. I feel this could be because even though the book was edge of the seat action there seemed to be too many things going off at once causing the book to lose some of its appeal, 3Dness and involvement with the audience. 

I was also a little disappointment to read the ending, as the new twist on the zombie genre was given a more classic look once more as we are lead into the third book: Terminated.

Despite the negative points this book overall is action packed and fresh with a great dose of heart stopping twists and turns, and I will be reading terminated when it is released next year to finally find out what happens to are beloved character Bryn.
Be warned if you do not want nightmares read during daylight hours.

 I hope you have enjoyed my review, please come back soon.
