Is anyone else as obsessed with The Walking Dead as I am? With the TV series returning to our screens on the 24th of this month, I’m sure a few of you are curious to see who survives! While you deal with the agonising wait, you may also be interested to learn that the next instalment of The Walking Dead book series – by Jay Bonansinga – is released in the UK today. Being an all over Walking Dead fan, I also love these novels and even managed to sneak the first of the series into our book club, much to Sarahjane’s dislike! When the lovely people at Pan Macmillan publishers got in touch and asked me to run a giveaway to celebrate the release, I jumped at the chance!
‘Search and Destroy’, the latest in the series, follows Lilly Caul, a character first introduced to us in book two. She’s been through a whirlwind of trouble since the start of the apocalypse, and it doesn’t appear that she’s off the hook yet. She now has the immense task of restoring the railroad between the city of Atlanta and the little town of Woodbury. As if this wasn’t enough, Woodbury is under attack, but not from walkers! In a world where the dead don’t stay ‘dead’ for long, Lilly will soon learn that it’s humans who she really has to watch out for…
If you’re already a fan of this series, you can find this latest release over at Amazon for £7.99. Perhaps you’re a fan of the graphic novels or TV show and are yet to discover the interesting back story these novels provide? Why not start from the beginning and discover the story of the infamous ‘Governor’ and how people like Lilly survive without the help of Rick and his buddies!

One of my favourite moments in the walking dead comics is how much Carl had changed from the inocent boy looking at the deer before he was shot to how the world is now where he can kill a boy who is not a walker because of the morality of his father
It's an interesting way to observe how a child might change under such difficult circumstances!
DeleteWhen the one and only book I've read finished!? Joking! I'm sure my sister has loads of favourite moments!
ReplyDeleteHaha, you should get watching season 1, it's great! :)
DeleteWhen Rick killed the claimers
ReplyDeleteTotally just had to google who they were again, but I agree - that was a fantastic episode! :)
DeleteWhen we got to realise that Glenn hadn't died under the hoard of Zombies and that hew had survived :)
ReplyDeleteor the shocking "Smell the flowers" scene :-o
ReplyDeleteBoth those scenes were brilliant, especially the brutality of the flower scene! :)
DeleteOh geez favourite moment erm... when Glen didn't die :-)
ReplyDeleteI know!! I was screaming at the TV 'I knew it, I knew it!!'
DeleteLoads of favourite moments but I think it was when Nick bit a chunk out of the mans neck(can't remember his name) to save Carl ,only a Dad would do that .
ReplyDeleteThat was a fantastic episode, I really need to watch them from that start again! :)
DeleteOmg, my favourite moment. I'm not sure I can even decide haha?! I loved when Nick bit the guys neck out as the lady above said (my favourite kill yet!), and I loved Rick giving Garret his comeuppance. I just love any time Rick is a badass haha!

Haha, yeah! I've just started watching from season 1 again, I love Rick! :)
Delete"Just look at the flowers" was my favourite moment from TWD :)
ReplyDeleteIt was such a powerful scene, especially with the children! :)
Deletesorry none they scare me but my hubby loves the show would love to win these books for him
ReplyDeleteThat's perfectly fine, but give them a try if you're brave enough, they are fantastic! :)
DeleteOh man trying to be one favourite moment is hard but I think anything that Carol does is just amazing. She has grown so much from season 1 and as much as I love the comics, the way she is handled in the show is so much better!
ReplyDeleteI've got to agree with you - the TV show has made Carol into a character far better than she would ever have been in the comics! :)
DeleteWhen the cannables atw Bob's infected leg
ReplyDeleteThat was sooo good, it was also a great scene in the comics, but with a different beloved character! :)
DeleteWhen The Governor attacks The Prison is one of many scenes that my daughter likes, she's a super fan of The Walking Dead, so this is a fantastic giveaway. Hoping I get lucky, fingers crossed. Thanks for the chance :) x
ReplyDeleteThat's an epic moment in both the TV series and the comics! I'm hoping it's covered in these books too, but I've not read that far yet! :)
DeleteI can't thank you enough for this amazing giveaway prize Elanor. I cannot wait to see my 16yr old daughters face on Christmas morning when she opens this parcel. Her eyes will light up. Thank you Thank you Thank you xx
DeleteIt's my pleasure! I've contacted the publisher now, so hopefully your prize arrives soon! :)
DeleteMy favorite moment is when Sasha lashed out at the towns people for having a party and lollygagging as though there were not walkers outside their walls.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that moment is one of the more recent excellent bits! :)
DeleteSunday/Monday's episode is my favourite one so far :)
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a game changer... totally didn't see the second death coming!
DeleteWhen we found out Glenn was still alive under that dumpster. It was a jump up and first pump moment
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I was screaming at the TV 'I knew they didn't kill him'! :)
DeleteOh gosh so many favourite moments! Carl finding the big tub of chocolate icecream & eating it all!!! :D
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'd forgotten about that bit, I need to go back and watch them all! :)
DeleteWhen Rick and Michonne finally kissed!!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I struggled to get my head around that bit because it's different in the comics... I wonder if anything more will come of it? :)
DeleteSo many to choose from-eek! x My favourite moments aren't the gore and the high excitement or the 'impending walkers' suspense but the 'human' ones, as it makes me really think about how easy it is to change under great duress-and how hard it is to stay true to your core values and keep your compassion in the darkest of times. My most memorable moment is still when Rick *had* to shoot, the now dead and 'walking', Sophia all the way back in S2. I howled when I watched it-literally sobbed-but it made me think deeply about the difficult nature of so many decisions they (especially Rick as de facto leader of their group)had to make and I knew how much it was going to change Carol (she's one of my faves). I have read 'Rise of the Governor' in this series of novels and loved all the back story. In another lifetime, I'd have been a psychologist, I think-or a zombie killer!
ReplyDeleteWe recently rewatched that scene in series 2... brutal! I'm exactly the same when it comes to favourite moments - like you say, it's the human Ines that really make this show fantastic! :)
DeleteOh my goodness how did I not know anything about these novels? I LOVE the show and the comics, so I need to try these!
ReplyDeleteThe first two are fantastic, I'm looking forward to getting stuck into the rest! :)
