I almost forgot that The Girl With All the Gifts is a zombie novel! That one I would unreservedly recommend for a slightly different, but not so scientifically 'out there' take on the virus.
I bought The Girl With All The Gifts on the back of the comments in this and, so far, it's a fantastic book.I also bought book 1 of The Arisen - so far I'm less impressed - comes across as a bit Andy McNab meets Zombies which isn't my cup of tea. I'll stick with it, though, to see if I warm to it.
The 2 books you mentioned I love.
Worth a mention is the newsflash trilogy by Mira Grant. This is her at her best. It's post rising. Some years after it all happened and shows how humanity have adapted and survived. Blog sites have become the news channels and the 2 main characters that are followed are Shaun and Georgia Mason who run After the end of Times. I've re read these books far far too much and it has novellas that run alongside it and tell tales of other things that occur around the main storyline and characters that appear in it.
Her second trilogy parasitology is worth a mention. It's kind of a zombie gist book about a tapeworm humanity have engineered to deliver all their medication needs. The tapeworm evolves and takes hold of the host when it moves to the brain. Slow starter but worth the read. I've had trouble staying glued to this one like the newsflash one but they still are enjoyable.
There's also the living with the dead series that follow a married couple through the apocalypse and the aftermath.
Alison Hewitt is trapped and Sadie walker is stranded are both good books.
Saw apocalypse Z mentioned earlier. Only read the first one but I'd recommend these too.
Surviving the evacuation. Sounds like a war book. Isn't. It's a zombie apocalypse book. Very good. I'm currently on book 3.
This is a wild card. Not a zombie book but a very good apocalypse book called the fifth wave. Second in series is the infinite sea. Just waiting on the next book currently.

The Arisen series - Non stop action superb!
Agreed. Without a doubt the best zombie series I've ever read. Utterly brilliant.Bought my copy yesterday.
