For five years, Izzy's been trapped in her apartment by fear of the world outside. She's been, if not happy, at least content and safe. With her husband by her side, she had everything she ever needed within the walls of her home.
But when The End comes, no doors can hold it at bay and no walls can keep it out. With mortal danger waiting around every corner, Izzy must face her greatest fear if she wants to survive.
She must go out into a world gone mad. Alone.
The Apocalypse Hive is the first volume of The Armageddon Thrones, a post-apocalyptic saga. If you're a fan of The Walking Dead, The Stand, The Road, or other tales from the end of the world, this is the series for you! Fast-paced and dripping with horror, every installment of this series grabs hold and won't let go.
The Apocalypse Hive: Episode 2: The Armageddon Thrones: Season 1 Reviews

I realize this is an attempt to tell a story in a TV-like style: season by season, episode by episode. But I find it very unfulfilling. I’d much rather see it released season by season, with the (however many) episodes tucked inside. I probably won’t try to keep up with this series, even though I really loved Witt’s Pitchfork County series, and even though bio-thrillers are pretty much my favorite genre.
Witt does do a great job of developing Izzy’s character and setting up her story, but he takes us just up to the point where a major thing will have to happen and then leaves us hanging. Since episode 1 was totally different and covered totally different people, I have little hope that it’ll pick up on Izzy’s story next time.
I loved the opening of this one, though, because it delved into some interesting parasitology aspects (the fact that some parasites can basically take over the mind of a creature and cause it to ‘commit suicide’ in order to spread the parasite further).

We continue the tale from Marie and Butch's points of view. We don't often see the other side of the coin unless it is brief flashes but this whole book is about Marie and Butch on the "bad" side and their struggles for power. Sam Witt delivers a compelling read with lots of the descriptions he is known for. A great resolution to this one, I personally could have had the whole story dedicated to Marie and skipped the Butch parts entirely but it does add to the overall effect. Looking forward to getting back to Izzy in the next one. Starting that today.

I want more! ☺
I have to give a lot of credit to Izzy. She has been through a lot and now has to go through the craziness of people getting killed. I can't wait for Episode 3! Will Izzy get to her husband? What is going to happen with Sarah? There are just so many questions -
Normally, I'm not an end of the world doomsday reader. I even avoid the natural disaster movies. But having read Halfmade Girls, I'm giving the author a chance and I'm very glad I did.
