Hm. I liked it, just not as much as I thought I would. Review to come.

I hadn't even heard of this one--but early kill-offs are always fun!

Hey Wendy! Is it wrong to like this update? :D Feels wrong, but the horror queen in me says—now that is a good sign! Haha…
I think a lot of people will enjoy this more than I did, though--it's very fun for most of the book, and I doubt everyone will have the same issues I did. I will definitely read the sequel when it's out.
I have this one on Netgalley, but the promise of multiple POVs makes me think this book will lack any sort of depth and character. It sounds fun and action-packed, so it won't hurt to give it a try, though. Anyways, I look forward to you review, Wends!
It's just one first person POV, Leanne, although it involves a lot of different people. I'm actually surprised that the author decided to go with one person's perspective since there are so many characters. It is definitely fun and action-packed, although you're also not wrong in that there's not a great deal of character development.If you enjoy post-apocalyptic type stories, Judy, you'll probably enjoy this one. I've always liked the whole "trapped in a grocery store" thing, so that probably helped me here too.
I will post a review soon! I'm so behind, but I may be sending this one on tour, so I need to get my butt in gear if that's the case.
This sounds really good! Kind of like The Mist but with children. I'm looking forward to your review.
I look forward to the review, funny thing. Prior to reading "The Mist with teenagers." comment, after reading the book blurp at the top I thought "Like The Mist?" ha.
