Robin’s Review of The Council Estate Queen (Deadpulse Series)

Robin’s Review of The Council Estate Queen (Deadpulse Series)

She’s got six kids, no backup and the worlds gone to hell. Good thing she’s the baddest b*tch on the estate.

Tracey’s a feral mum with a foul mouth and zero patience for bullsh*t. Dead or alive.

She’s been battling sh*tstorms her whole life, dodging council estate chaos, wrestling with her kids, surviving a deadbeat ex who’s about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

Then the zombies show up, and suddenly dodging the undead is just another Tuesday at the dole office.

Robin’s Review

Triggers: Gore, violence, strong language, undead chaos, parental stress

What Did I Just Walk Into?

A foul-mouthed, bat-swinging, zombie-dodging mum trying to keep six feral kids alive on a council estate while the world crumbles around her. Basically, it’s Shameless meets The Walking Dead if The Walking Dead had better dialogue and actual humor.

Here’s What Slapped:

Tracey. Just Tracey. She’s the queen of chaos, the patron saint of survival, and the only person who could make apocalypse parenting look both terrifying and hilarious. Ms. R. Richards writes her with such raw energy that you can practically smell the burnt toast and panic. The pacing is relentless. Beans hit the floor, zombies hit the street, and you’re just trying to breathe between paragraphs. The dialogue is brutal, real, and laugh-out-loud funny. The banter between Tracey and her kids (especially Leeroy) had me snorting. There’s heart under all that grime too, motherly love as weapon and weakness, wrapped in pure attitude.

What Could’ve Been Better:

Honestly, not much. Maybe a warning label that says “Don’t read this before bed unless you enjoy adrenaline spikes.”

Perfect for Readers Who Love:

Working-class grit meets undead grit

Moms who could survive nuclear winter armed with sarcasm and a bat

British horror with bite, humor, and actual heart

Stories where chaos is the plan
