Cali Anglin, RN, had a great life. It may have been nothing special to the rest of the world, but she loved it. That was on a Wednesday. By Friday, it was gone forever. With the government gone, electricity extinguished, and the food supply dwindling, she has to face questions she’s never asked herself before–just how far would she go to save her family, her friends and her rapidly collapsing community? Would she kill for them? Would she die for them? She’s about to find out.

The Complex (The Reanimates Book 1), by J. Rudolph Review
- I really enjoyed The Complex. I've read a lot of books about people who try to survive a zombie apocalypse in a lot of place. Farms and even boats (smile). But this is the first one I read where the characters are residents of an apartment complex. It brings a new and missing dynamic to the genre. Not all the neighbors are friends but they all need to pull together to defend their gated community. Of course not all of them will survive, but you already knew that. Right? Ms. Rudolph tells a good story that left me wanting more. --David Forsyth, author of the Sovereign Spirit Saga
- "This is a fantastic read that I could not recommend more!" --Tony Baker, Author of Survivors of the Dead
- "I read it and loved it. My husband is halfway through the book and he loves it too. The only problem is now he keeps pointing out who might survive in our neighborhood and who has no hope. He's a little obsessed now" --Cheryl, a reviewer
- "This was my first zombie book and I loved it! --Leisa, a reviewer
From the Author Thank you to everyone getting in on the book! Hope you are all enjoying it. When you're done with book one, grab book two, it picks right up where The Complex left off.
About the Author J. Rudolph is the author of the zombie series The Reanimates, and the young adult paranormal mystery, Hadley's Haunting. Born in 1977, she resides in Southern California with her husband, son, two turtles (who she claims own all rights to her house and allow the people to live there, only since they can open the food jars) and her maniacal bird (who seems to have developed a taste for flesh in its lifetime). As a nurse with over fifteen years of experience, she often incorporates an element of medical training in her stories, offering authenticity to her medically minded characters. She also offers authenticity to her zombie series-she calls herself a living dead girl ever since her spinal reconstruction in 2014.

9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Good book. Recommended for zombie fans and others. By J Bryden Lloyd Book Review: The Reanimates (The Complex) by J RudolphReviewed by J Bryden LloydWriting Style - 3.5/5.0 (Good)I think you have to consider that this is a debut novel by an inexperienced author, as well as the fact that it is written in first person, but even so, the narrative is nicely constructed and it does serve to pull the reader along at a reasonable pace.There were a handful of places within the book, where the style felt much more considered and this was usually where a lot of things were happening together, but alongside the general structure, the dialogue was very nicely built and used to convey a lot about the characters.If anything, I felt the weakest part was the prologue, which, although it served to set the scenes for the start of the story, felt awkward and hurried, as if it were more an afterthought than part of the story.Character Development - 4.5/5.0 (Excellent)This was a very likable set of characters with an array of varied character flaws and issues which made a lot of things far more realistic in the story. Almost all of the key characters develop throughout the story, though a few seem to be passed by.Those who do get the benefit of development work well into the plot and contribute massively to the directions of the twists and turns as the story progresses.Descriptive -4.0/5.0 (Very Good)In general, the descriptive is vivid and often very detailed. I did feel nicely drawn into the story, easily visualising the locations and the interactions of the characters. Yes, there was the odd occasion where I struggled to think my way through what I was being expected to see, only to have more information provided later which assisted in the completion of the picture the author was trying to create. This was not an issue for the enjoyment of the story, but on those few occasions, it did slow the process a little more than I expected.Language & Grammar - 4.0/5.0 (Very Good)This book could easily be read by younger readers, though the graphic scenes involving the zombies and their attacks are possibly a little too much for some. The use of language and some of the word selection has a tendency to fluctuate across age-groups and reading levels, though to be honest, these are not common issues and, generally, I would be surprised if anyone really struggled to read this.Plot - 4.5/5.0 (Excellent) - MINOR SPOILERSI mentioned the prologue earlier, but I have to say that it really doesn't do the story the justice it deserves. Once you get into the story proper, the book shows a far more comfortable side to the author and as the plot settles, the reader is pulled into a world of fear and worry, made more real by the way the characters are drawn and utilised.The story takes a slightly different twist on how a group of people survive a zombie apocalypse. Along the way they have to learn to adapt to a variety of challenges that serve only to make their lives more complicated, and just as you think things are turning in their favour, a new twist develops to create bigger and more complicated problems for them.General - 4.0/5.0 (Very Good)I am aware I have read a first edition, and that the author has already released an update with many corrections. This being the case, I have not been over-critical on some of the errors I found which included some missing and misplaced words.I still feel this would benefit greatly from a clean-up edit and possibly an additional proof-read, but I did find this to be a very accomplished and nicely balanced story. The characters are all seen from one perspective, as the author keeps everything in first person and makes the story work well within those limits.As there is to be a sequel, I can assure you I will be waiting to read it, despite this not really falling into my preferred genre. This book offered far more than just zombies eating people and people fighting back. There is a very human element to the whole story and the reader feels compelled to want the good guys to get through the story and for the inevitable rescue to come... I'll leave you to find out how that pans out, but if you take a chance on this book, I'm sure you will enjoy the ride.A nicely deserved 4 stars.
8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. The Complex by J. Rudolph By ?wazithinkin I first read and reviewed this book for BigAl's Books and Pals in January 2013. I gave it three-stars back then. Ms. Rudolph has since gained a small publisher Winlock Press, an imprint of Permuted Press, and asked if I would re-read The Complex. If you read the original review you will see I had some story-line problems, so I was interested to see how the book had or hadn't changed.When a devastating virus, which causes it victims to reanimate after death, hits the U.S. people everywhere start to panic. The Complex is about a small gated apartment complex in southern California and how they deal with the situation. Several families pack their things up as fast as they can and leave. A few families or residents of this complex decide to stay and ride it out for as long as they can. The characters are strongly developed and diverse, each having their own strengths. They quickly fortify their complex to keep the zombies out and gather food, tools, weapons, ammo, and medicines they need to sustain and protect themselves. Things are working out well for them as each challenge is met and dealt with. At least until a band of marauders discover them and their safe haven.What I enjoyed the most about this story were the relationships this small community developed working together to survive. They became family. The way the story is set up now grabs you and draws you into the story with a peek of what is to come. The first chapter walks the reader through how the virus began and we see how it is mutating and spreading out of control. This story is told through the eyes of Cali Anglin, a nurse, a wife, and a mother of a ten year-old son, Drew. She and her husband Trent had always joked about a zombie apocalypse; it was a game they played, `what if'. It was never supposed to be real.The Complex is an interesting post-apocalyptic story with characters I found it easy to feel a connection with. The dialogue is realistic and convincing. The plot moves at a smooth pace with some realistic twists, which could happen. When the marauders come we learn humans are far more dangerous than the zombies could ever be. If you enjoy zombie stories I think you would enjoy this one.FYI: The Complex is book 1 of The Reanimates. There are three books in the series so far. Book 2, The Highway, will be released soon and book 3, The Escape, is scheduled for release later this year.There are three F-bombs dropped along with graphic blood and gore.**Originally written for "BigAl's Books and Pals" book blog. May have received a free review copy.** September 2, 2015Format/Typo Issues: I found no significant errors in editing or formatting.I am going to leave my first review from 2013 here for those who might be interested:A devastating virus has gone out of control that reanimates the dead. This is the story of a small group of survivors that have found refuge in their small, gated apartment complex.This story is told through the eyes of Cali, a nurse, a wife, and a mother of a ten year-old son. She and her husband Trent had always joked about a zombie apocalypse; it was a game they played, `what if'. It was never supposed to be real. They have banded together with their neighbors who stayed and succeeded in building a small fortress for their protection from the zombies. It is an interesting character study. The characters are well developed and I became invested in their future. The narrative descriptions were well done and the conversations between all the players were realistic. I felt that the plot had a nice pace and the twists were interesting and unexpected. I am not a zombie aficionado, nor do I ever expect to be, it is not my usual genre preference.The weakest part of the whole story is the preface. I understand why it is there but I felt like it may have been better handled as a flashback perhaps. The beginning of a story is suppose to grab the reader and not let go, I don't think the preface did that. It is interesting to know how the virus got so out of control so fast though. There are also several small editing errors mostly extra or missing words or letters, they were a minor irritant that made some sentences read clunky.I enjoyed the story and was glad there was not a cliffhanger ending, although it is evident there will be a sequel. I am anxious to see how things develop for this small band of survivors.FYI: There are three F-bombs dropped and graphic gore.Format/Typo Issues: There are a small number of proofing errors.**Originally written for "Books and Pals" book blog.

8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. The Complex (The Reanimates) By Kindle Customer Well, I have to disagree with the author a bit - I wouldn't classify this as a "gritty zombie novel" but I did enjoy it as a nice afternoon break..The Complex is a rather simplistic take on what would happen during a zombie apocalypse but that doesn't detract from the book itself, just adds a different outlook which is really what writing a book should be - a variety of perspectives on what might happen.Cali is a nurse who has just gotten off a long shift and comes home to her family, consisting of husband Trent (who is a cabinet maker/woodworker) and son Drew. They live in an apartment complex in a small town in southern California which must be way out in the middle of nowhere as they are the only hospital for 25 miles around. This fact makes it possible for them to survive when they wouldn't be able to say if they were in the middle of LA or close to a major town or highway system. She works in the Heart Unit but had noticed that the ER was exceptionally busy for a Tuesday night in the middle of May but since they were the only trauma center around, figured maybe a bunch of HS students had a big celebration now that school was out and it got out of hand.She logs on to the internet to check her message boards (her favorite being the Kindle boards - I see a product tie in here!) and finds tons of messages. She is nervous to check the TV because if she doesn't see it, then perhaps it can't be real for at least a bit longer but has to turn on the remote at some point and finds out that a new virus is "reanimating" people.She wakes her husband and together they break the news to their son. While most people leave their gated community to find friends and family or to head to the hills, a core group remains and this becomes the group at the Complex.They actually have a great set up - one gate, tall concrete walls, and the building are divided into groups. They move everyone into one building and go about getting on with their daily lives. Some of the ideas are really good - they set up separate units for food, build, medical, etc. and have a school going as well. They build up their defenses and run a few raids but have most of what they need on site by scavaging in the other units that were deserted. The remaining residents (approximately eight "families"), secure their homes and build a new life.There are some losses, some zombie encounters, and some mauraders but mainly, this is a story of relationships and building a family - nothing wrong with that at all! Just don't purchase the book expecting lots of battle scenes and gore. I would rate this book more along a G rated zombie book than a rated R for violence one.Good character development, no spelling/grammar errors that I noticed, and the story flowed smoothly. I liked ALL of the people in the complex which was unique - usually, there is at least one that bugs you nutty but nope, all are ones that you would invite over for dinner and drinks.The ending is full of upheaval and unexpected joy at the same time. Obviously, there is a sequel in the works (I am blonde but even I could figure that out since it said "book one in the series") and I will looking forward to reading the next adventure in the series. After all, sometimes, even if you love zombie books, it is nice to have good people who have quiet zombie apocalypse without as much gore to give you some hope in case it ever happens to you :-)
