The Adventures of Space Girl Red was a delightful mash-up of scifi (think orginal Flash Gordon with ray guns and flying saucers) meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer. With retro tech, a plucky main character, and healthy dose of fun, Red's adventures kept me listening. My only complaint is it was so good I couldn't pace myself and it was over too soon. Luckily, I'm on to The Adventures of Space Girl Green!

Book 4 of Sarah Lyons Fleming's Cascadia series doesn't disappoint. If you're a fan of character driven zombie apocalypse adventures, you should be reading her books (and listening to the audio). Rose, Tom (swoon!), Craig, Clara and the rest of the gang continue their struggle to survive in the post-apocalyptic landscape of the Pacific Northwest. Lyons Fleming's characterization is second to none, and her ability to spin a yarn with surprising twists and turns is impeccable. Whichever of her series you start with - Until the End of the World, The City, or Cascadia - prepare to meet your new best friends and your worst nightmare enemies, who aren't always zombies.

Across the country, Safe Zones are mysteriously going dark, and Oregon’s summer weather has turned the forest into a tinderbox. As the unknown danger closes in, and smoke begins to fill the sky, the survivors are all too aware of how quickly plans unravel, fences fall, and luck runs out.
