Story
Explosive new series! From Ryan Schow, best-selling author of The Last War and The Age of Embers, comes an intense new tale of strength, survival, and patriotism. Dark Days of the After puts ordinary citizens on the front line of a domestic conflict that was never supposed to happen, one that will either unify the country or break her for good...This is not the America you know. In the near future, the Constitution is outlawed, the government is ceremonial at best and the country is about to lose her name.
Publisher's Summary
From Russia, with love....
How do you destroy your enemy? Go for the heart then take over the brain.
The Z1219 virus, created by Russia's most skilled scientists, is the deadliest biological weapon in history. Harbored in the human bloodstream, it remains undetected until detonated. Once it's detonated, the host becomes a walking corpse with only one goal: eat everyone.
And now it is in America, packaged in the mail-order brides the Russians shipped over to destroy us all.
With the disease now running rampant and no cure yet discovered, it is every uninfected person for himself.
Homes are destroyed and the families inside them torn apart. Relationships can help or hurt, as those left uninfected discover they are not entirely untouched by the disease.
Follow a group of strangers as they struggle to do anything necessary to survive without losing their humanity in the process. Some will win this challenge. Most will lose.
It's a new world, and the zombies aren't the only monsters. They're just the easiest to recognize in a country gone horribly wrong.

Loved this!
Thousands of Russian mail order brides were sent to the US with a deadly virus injected into them. It wasn't till the Russians pushed the kill button that the virus activated and the mail order brides died and became Zombies. Only thing is that the virus can be spread through sex and/or biting, so every man they had sex with got the virus, though it wasn't activated in them till they died. When the virus is unleashed, it's so fast and unexpected that the US is taken by surprise. Within a matter of days the country is overrun and all that's left to do is survive!
This was such a pleasant surprise! The name and cover are a bit off putting and made me think this was a cheesy Zombie book, but believe me when I say that it's not!!! It's a story of survival, it's a journey through the minds of people left amid chaos.
We have a cast of multiple characters so I'm not going to go through them all. I will say that they are all well written and developed. They are quite a colourful cast too!! We have Raven, a teen who is on holiday with her family when the outbreak happens. She is looking after her 9 yr old sister but she succumbs to the Zombies and poor Raven carries that guilt with her. We have Maura, who is crazy with a capital C!! She goes to her exes house intent on revenge because he left her for a Russian mail order bride. Of course she finds him in a bad way. This girl is seriously crazy but I'm not going to say what she does because that would spoil it!!!Lol. We also have Cruz, a Hollywood actor who hears voices in his head when he doesn't take his medicine! Throw in a fugitive and a girl with no remorse and you have the cast of this!!
The plot, while definitely fictional, is totally believable. I mean the idea of a dormant virus being injected into unsuspecting girls could happen! It just wouldn't reanimate them ;)
Anyway, this was a seriously excellent survival tale. It's not the blood and guts Zombie book but one of focusing on the characters and the aftermath of the virus! We get to see the outbreak happen, then we get to see different groups surviving and ultimately meeting up. I loved this and listened to it in a day, though that ending was killer, literally ;) Haha!! Definitely can highly recommend!
While Mark Westfield did a good job considering all the characters, I found his reading to be a little flat at times. I wanted more intenseness and energy when the Zombies were there. Also a few of the characters sounded the same. I still enjoyed it though!

Putin sent us zombies
If you are looking for a zombie book that isn’t the typical gory filled, prepper based, one man style go no further. I rarely dabble in zombie stories because they are the same story regurgitated by different authors with slightly different plots. What grabbed me for starters was the book cover, second was the premise, what hooked me on this story were the characters. The characters really make up this story and it is their development that this is about. While their story is about survival in a zombie invested world it almost seemed that the zombies are ancillary. I won’t say that this is a super unique zombie world but it is a different story in that it is very character driven and you could really substitute the zombies for lots of other creatures. With the whole idea of the zombies originating from mail order brides, off the bat you get some crazy characters. There are few characters who are clearly insane, and the author really did a great job delving into their psyche and caused me extreme reactions to them. Even the sane characters thoughts on the other characters make for an interesting story about how everyone handles their specific situation within their group of survivors in a world, possibly just the US, full of zombies. It is clear that the author is heavily influenced by TWD as he references the show quite a bit and I would say the story being more about the characters versus the end game is clearly influenced by the show. This is the first chapter in the series and there seems to be something going on in the overall series with a few of the characters. There are multiple story lines that converge and I’m excited to see where this goes and will definitely be in this series for the long haul. I hope this continues to focus on the characters and we get to see how they will continue to develop as their world crumbles. I have to say that I am glad that there isn’t a lot of misinformed gun discussion in this. So many times I read zombie books by someone who has never touched a real gun and then tries to tell me about the guns each person is using in detail and gets every aspect wrong. Sticking to blades is a safe bet. I liked the narrator. Again, since I felt this was more about the characters I didn’t mind that there wasn’t the usual excitement you expect to hear in narrator’s voices in zombie stories. I liked his portrayal of all the characters, his voices were excellent, and really hope he continues in the next chapter. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Book 2 needs to come out, like yesterday! Overall, one of the better zombies books out there. I can't wait to see where the author takes us in the next book. It took a bit to get used to the narrator's style. Once I did, I thought he performed well. I received this audiobook for free thru Audiobook Boom for my unbiased review.

THIS WAS A GREAT STORY! I NEED #2 ASAP!!!
Would you consider the audio edition of Mail Horror Bride to be better than the print version?
Always is, But I only listened!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Mail Horror Bride?
The Baby!
What does Mark Westfield bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He was good...and sounds familiar..but I checked I havent listened to any of his other work....YET!! :)
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I did laugh a little...and I felt very sad for Raven near the end!
Any additional comments?
** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **
From start to finish this was a great story! I lied the concept of the mail order bride virus delivery method, and how all of our survivor groups ended up in each others lives by sure luck! This was a great Post Apocalyptic Zombie story in a sea of many..and I highly recommend you buy it now! I am going to be tortured waiting for book 2!
WELL WORTH YOUR TIME AND A CREDIT!!!!

Character Based Zombie Apoc
If you're a fan of zombie novels that focus on the characters rather than the action, like me - you'll love this book.
The zombie outbreak is caused by the Russian government implanting a dormant virus into the women who will then go to the US as mail order brides. The virus remains dormant until activated but is still passed to others through sexual contact and through their genes to any children they have, so when the Russian government activates the virus.... all hell breaks loose.
I adored this concept of a zombie virus being used as a sleeper agent form of biological warfare, it also cracked the story wide open to examine the prejudices of the characters in this new situation.
The book was a bit of a slow starter, I thought that it would follow the journey of only two characters but it opens up to follow a wide range of different characters and their gradual journey to a central point at the end. Once it got going, I was hooked and listened to it in one sitting while baking a hideously misshapen cake (on a side note -the cake was DELICIOUS despite looking like a disaster, I blame it on the audio distracting me).
This book had plenty of action to keep the pace moving and the characters were wonderful, it didn't focus too heavily on their backstory but provided just enough to explain their actions in the present. It also raised some excellent practical points: what happens when prescription medications run out? Is it better to go it alone or group up? Are children actually evil eejits?
This book includes a range of characters of different ages, genders and nationalities and Mark Westfield (the narrator) manages them all like a pro. He even manages a convincing Thai mail order bride voice, complete with accent, that didn't make me cringe so I was impressed!
The quality of the audio was excellent and definitely added to the overall atmosphere of the story, having a talented narrator in charge of the pace of this novel.
I would definitely listen to more of his work in future, especially if he's teamed up with the work of Raymond Lee again. Thumbs up for this winning combination!

This was a better than average zombie book.I enjoyed most of it.I found it to be repetitious at times.The characters are fairly well developed,you either love or hate them. Mail order brides from Russia were implanted with a virus that goes off and creates zombies..Every faction of life has to work together at some point,or die.

Couldn’t finish
I find it really difficult to not finish a book, but I’ve tried a few times and just can’t. I’m sure it’s a great story and narrator, I just feel it’s a little childish for such a dark setting (zombies everywhere, but a woman screaming at her ex for marrying someone else when they were separated). Feel bad as I hate leaving books unfinished, but I really did try. This is my honest opinion of a free review copy.

Great story
I was inititailly attracted to this one by the premise, I love the idea of a zombie outbreak being triggered by mail order brides, horrible but definitely a great opening for a zombie apocalypse story. The story was entertaining, swift moving, unlike some slow plodders in the zombie genre, the zombies themselves, however, are the slow plodding variety which is just as well as the survivors, in the main, have to make do with blades and hammers as their means of defense. I can appreciate that, living in the UK that'd be all I could use too, only in my case it'd be a Chef's knife and a meat mallet. The characters were intriguing and have me interested in the idea of pursuing book two and hoping for a third. I loved the narrator, totally perfect for this book, and for my ears so carry on narrating please Mr Westfield. I received my copy free of charge and happily leave this review which honestly reflects my opinion of the produciton.
