About this listen
Includes bonus alternate ending.
God made these dogs, but man made them vicious....
When successful author Jeremy Liden takes his friends up to his vacation cabin in the wilds of Wisconsin, he was hoping for a relaxing weekend. What he gets instead is a never-ending ordeal of snarling terror as he and his guests become trapped inside by an unrelenting menace that does not understand mercy.
By the time the night is through, not everyone is going to make it home in one piece.

In a steel-and-lead-encased bunker 20 feet below the basement level of his house, a soldier waits for his final orders. On the surface, a plague ravages the planet, infecting over 90% of the populace. The bacterium burrows through the brain, destroying all signs of humanity and leaving behind little more than base, prehistoric instincts. The infected turn into hyper-aggressive predators, with an insatiable desire to kill and feed. Someday soon, the soldier will have to open the hatch to his bunker, and step out into this new wasteland, to complete his mission....

No way to get help. And no way to figure out what's happened. Hunger threatens. Bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talents - unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers - that grow stronger by the day. It's a terrifying new world.

Refuge, New Hampshire, is a small town. The kind found on postcards. Their biggest concern is the rowdy summertime revelers making their way up from Massachusetts and New York. And with most of the town's residents in neighboring Ashland, for the Fourth of July fireworks show, Refuge is quieter than usual. That is, until the Baptist church's bell starts ringing - on its own. The bell chimes faster and faster, reaching a frenetic pace, as though rung by the Devil himself. But the bell is just the beginning.

It was always a joke. The what ifs and the planning were just conversations to have fun with. Who would be the first to go? Where would people be safe? Who would survive the zombie apocalypse?

Together with his wife Abby and little girl Katie, they begin a dangerous trek across the wintery Midwest in hopes to reconnect with his brother in the heartland of Wisconsin.

Ben McKelvie believes he's moving up in the world when he and his fiancée buy a house in the cushy Washington, DC, suburb of Barcroft. Instead he's moving down - way down - thanks to Madeleine Roux, the crazy neighbor whose vermin-infested property is a permanent eyesore and looming hazard to public health. First Ben's fiancée leaves him; then his dog dies, apparently killed by a predator drawn into Barcroft by Madeleine's noxious menagerie. But the worst is yet to come for Ben.

We've all seen them - the stubborn tail-gater who follows too close, for too long...the wild driver who weaves through lanes on a crowded highway...the driver who causes accidents but is never a victim of one. These are the jackals, hunters who follow the nation's highways and byways, preying on the weak and unsuspecting. Jim Scott's been hunting jackals for some time now. They took someone he loved, once, and he's never forgiven them. And Jim doesn't fight alone.

Blood, gore, & more!
Where does Vicious rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It's right up toward the top.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I'm as bad with character names as I am with real people's names, but the dogs were my favorite. Shea really gave voice to the two characters who can't actually speak.
Have you listened to any of Shea Taylor’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is my first, but it won't be my last. Looking forward to more Shea.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!
Any additional comments?
I can't say I'm a fan of alternate endings outside of choose-your-own-adventure books; at least not in the original publication. That said, Shea handled both as if they were the one true ending.

Okay Story... Almost Rooted for The Dogs Though
Is there anything you would change about this book?
The characters seemed like the dumbest people in the world. I can't believe anyone would make the decisions/mistakes they did.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Meh, no strong reaction.
Was Vicious worth the listening time?
I can't say I regret listening but the story and narration was just "okay." Closer to two and a half stars.

Predictable. Not original.
Would you consider the audio edition of Vicious to be better than the print version?
I did not read the print version.
Would you be willing to try another book from Bryan W. Alaspa? Why or why not?
I would try another book by this author in hopes that the plot would be more original.
What about Shea Taylor’s performance did you like?
Shea Taylor's performance held my attention and made each character's voice distinct and interesting. If I had been reading this book instead of listening I would probably have stopped after the first few chapters. The reading was well done which helped to give an ordinary book some depth and interest.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
None that I recall.
Any additional comments?
The story line was good and had much potential. The writing seemed a bit unpolished which probably contributed to the difficulty I had in being completely drawn into the story.
