She's a prisoner with a secret gift. He's a soldier with a monster locked inside. Now they will decide if humanity is worth the fight.

"With flavors of The 5th Wave and Lu's Legend, seasoned with a bit of Marvel-type superhero magic and mayhem, two normal teens go from average to extra-ordinary, following the wake of a series of cataclysmic events which alter their lives--and the world--forever. I love every single character." (Best Selling Author Christina Rozelle, The Treemakers Trilogy)

She is very plain speaking which makes for easy following, She voices everything perfectly. Loved hearing this book.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes it was again it gives you that suspense, twisted, have to finish story plot.

Any additional comments?

I was gifted this audible book for my honest review

Well that was interesting

I'm not quite sure what to think of this book. It is very clearly leading to another book. The stage is set. The characters and story are interesting. The first chapter with Liza kind of lost me because this isn't my typical kind of book. I prefer urban fantasy to zombie apocalypse, but by chapter two it became more engaging and it became clear that this book was much more than a typical zombie story. I will read the next book because at this point I need to know what happens to Tom and Liza.

A new world

This book was amazing!! The story that was created and this new world, it's not your every day zombie book. There is more then just the threat of the zombies, there is way way more threats. It was amazing to see that love can still find a way in a world like this one.

Great story & Characters w/Spectacular Narration

What did you love best about Gods of Anthem?

I don't read (or watch) dystopian and I rarely read YA so I kind of had no business reading (or listening to as the case was ) this book. But you know what? I freaking LOVED it. Just goes to show that a book with a great story, engaging characters and writer that knows what the heck they are doing will transcend genre.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Gods of Anthem?

I have to admit...when I realized I had gotten myself into a book with all manner or other-worldly heros (insert super heros, undead, vampires) I though oh-no, but with a little willing suspension of disbelief what I got was a great journey, phenomenally interesting back drops, characters I loved and cared about and all the emotional ups and downs a great book can deliver.

What about Rhiannon Angell’s performance did you like?

The narration was spectacular. Probably one of the best narrators I've come across. Her emotion and interpretation was spot on and her voices are perfection.

Any additional comments?

I laughed, I was afraid, I cried....I cared about these people...ALL of them, even the supporting cast. This book is a bit of a cliffy, but not a horrible one. More like everything was resolved but the characters still have more like to live and I want to be there for it.

Unique zombie goodness

Would you consider the audio edition of Gods of Anthem to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version. However, there were so many different voices portrayed by Rhiannon Angell that I can't imagine it would be better in print.

What other book might you compare Gods of Anthem to and why?

This was really different from other zombie stories I have listened to .There was a lot more going on than just the zombies.

What does Rhiannon Angell bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She is fantastic at portraying these characters that the author has written so well.

Any additional comments?

This is a fresh and unique dystopian book that has many interesting things happen beyond what one would expect from reading the description prior to listening. I really enjoyed it.

This book was gifted to me by the author or narrator in exchange for an unbiased and honest review via Audiobook Blast!

Emotionally Powerful

I am still suffering a massive book hangover due to listening to GOA. Ms. Keys did an amazing job creating an intricate world into which I escaped as I followed Tom Tom and Liza through their perilous journey. This is one of the best dystopian books I have read by far. The world and characters are complex and believable. This book has the feels as you struggle along with Tommy and Liza and their friends, you feel heartache and pain, love and even simple joy. The audio version was wonderful, it flowed well. The narrator had a pleasant voice and did a great job differentiating between characters, their emotions and voices.

LOVED IT! 5 stars hands down

loved this book. kept me interested all the way to the end. flowing plot. believable characters. smartly written. story switched a lot from real to inner mindset but did so without too much confusion. story includes zombies but it's told from a different perspective and doesn't get bogged down with constant hunting and devouring of brains. favorite character was joelle . highly recommend this book ... you won't be disappointed. can't wait to see what happens next. definitely does not disappoint. great narration. don't usually prefer women narrators but thoroughly enjoyed this one. And ..... Authority sucks:)

Fantastic story

What did you love best about Gods of Anthem?

Having read and reviewed the e-book copy, I couldn't wait to see how this translated to audio.

This was my first audio book and it was a great one to start with.

Gods of Anthem is a rollicking good yarn filled with memorable characters, mysteries, tensions, heartbreak and some twists and turns you don't see coming.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

What other book might you compare Gods of Anthem to and why?

Although Gods of Anthem fits squarely into YA-dystopian, it is a difficult book to categorise. You could compare it to other works - Alice in No Man's Land, Divergent, Hunger Games, V for Vendetta, but it is more than that. Logan Keys takes the genre and makes it her own. Gods of Anthem is unique.

Which character – as performed by Rhiannon Angell – was your favorite?

Liza

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Rise. Dare to dream, dare to live, dare to survive.

WOW!!! EXCITING BOOK!!!

Liza is sick and dying of Cancer, stuck on Bodaga Island where they send all the sick and dying. Tommy is Underground (UG) trained soldier but he is also so much more, they both are. Since a massive plague or flood as it is called. Zombies are now part of this new world. The Authority that rules the city of Anthem is absolute. Join Liza and Tommy as they discover who they are in this new world. What they don't know is Liza is the key and Tommy is the leader.

I have to say that this book kept me excited from the beginning where Liza was on Bodaga Island to going to Anthem or Ash city. Exciting book with a captivating story line that will leave the reader turning the pages and craving more. New name and new look to this book are perfect. This book is more than a dystopian zombie book, it is about friends, love, family and doing the right thing. I loved this book and I cannot wait to read the next book La La Land. Logan Keys is definitely an author to watch.

The narration was clear and concise, all the while keeping me engaged. I would love listening to this narrator more in the future as her voice and emotion was right on point.
