About this eBook

 Maddie and zombie-slashing buddy Bryce choose separate paths. Bryce and Jack follow the U.S. military carrier while Maddie and the others head out to Jacksonville, Florida. They soon find a stowaway and he may be infected. With him is evidence that sends them to Cape Town, South Africa. An area that had yet to be cleansed of deaders.
Maddie must chance her life again and venture into an area infested with deaders to find the answers to how the illness started and search for a cure. Heather takes the lead with her and they run into allies and enemies, but in the deader world it’s hard to know which is which and who to trust. Allies become enemies as they get closer to finding the answers.

Bryce and Jack run into their own trouble when they learn what the military is truly up to.

Will Maddie and Bryce be successful in their missions? 

Will extenuating factors prevent them from saving what’s left of humanity?

Ratings and reviews

This is my very favorite zombie series of all time. Okay, I'll admit, it's the only zombie series I've read. Truth be known, I'm not usually a zombie fan, but Elle Klass is one of my very favorite authors and thus I'll give just about anything she writes a try. Her characters absolutely jump off the page, the plots complex and full of surprises, her writing style saturated with luscious descriptions and subtle humor. This is the final episode and completes the Zombie Girl trilogy. This exciting conclusion is loaded with suspense regarding the fate of the numerous characters after they leave the African continent bound for the USA through various means. Tidbits include fascinating explanations regarding what caused the lethal pandemic that resulted in some people turning into zombies while others recovered or were immune. If you liked the movie "World War Z" you'll probably love this story. The action never stops, the suspense sustained beautifully. It had been a while since I read the previous books, so it took me a while to remember who some of the characters were and where they joined the story. This is a series best read straight through, which can now be done with all three books now available. Whether or not you're a zombie story fan, I definitely recommend this series. I'm usually pretty bored by the usual zombie tale, but Elle's characters are so real, the personalization of the plot so well done, that I thoroughly enjoyed it. The descriptions are gross enough to make a point, but not so disgusting as to be too much. Some are downright funny, actually, and make perfect sense with the primary character, Maddie, a teenager who would undoubtedly see the humor in it to maintain her sanity. She's a great kick-ass heroine who refuses to cave into the worst of circumstances and definitely runs the show. Now that this entire series is available, grab the three of them and get ready to enjoy a great tale that keeps you turning the pages from start to finish.

Retribution is the 3rd and final book in the Zombie Girl series. I’ve really enjoyed this series from the first book, Premonition, all the way to the last. I’m a little sad it’s over, but I know all good things must eventually come to an end. Overall this is a great wrap up to the series. There are little bits and pieces here and there that made me laugh and made me curious about viruses and all kinds of sciency stuff I’m not normally interested in. I do feel like the ending was a little abrupt for my tastes, but not everyone is like me, so others may not mind it. Maddie has grown from an annoying teenager into a force to be reckoned with. It’s nice to see a character grow the way she has. It gives me a bit of hope for the teens of today. Retribution picks up right at the end of the last book and launches you through the end of the story like a freight train. There are no slow-moving points in this book, which is quite an impressive feat, in my opinion.

the books were a bit short, but still well worth the small price. I enjoyed the twist. very good.
