REVIEWS:
"A measured, commendable start to an undead saga with definite potential."
- Kirkus Indie
"In An End, book one of the Where We Stand Now series, author Brandon Pawlicki tackles the aftermath of a world-decimating zombie outbreak with an emotional and intellectual depth that makes this novel more than just another zombie apocalypse story."
"An End combines the gruesome, scary zombie fight scenes you would expect of the genre with a heart-wrenching tale of love and loss underscored by themes that force you to examine your own sense of right and wrong. It is a great beginning to a zombie apocalypse series with lots of "brains." (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)"
