Vertical City, A Zombie Thriller Part 2 by George S. Mahaffey, Jr. is a hypnotic, page-turning book.

I gave it four stars.  While it was action-packed, full of suspense & entertaining, it did need editing for incorrect grammar & homonyms.  There was one blatant misuse of a word that caught my attention.  A character had her neck bitten by a zombie & it was described as being eviscerated.   A neck cannot be disemboweled.

Wyatt is describing the infirmary:  "This is where the physically ill & people deemed 'fragile' are kept:  those broken at birth, the severely mentally ill, the perpetually hopeless,  & folks who have seen shit which cannot be easily understood."

I move down a corridor of slump-shouldered fragiles, mostly men & women in grubby clothes with lifeless eyes."

I normally hate cliff hangers & will delete stars from sheer frustration when I find one.  This author uses them well.  I was not left gasping for breath but with an eagerness to know what was next.  I was intrigued enough to purchase the other two books of the series.
I look forward to reading them.
