This was a great set up to start the series. The writing was great and so were the characters. I can't wait to start on Book 1 now.

Gillian Zane is one of those writers that can spin gold out of anything. SHTF was an insider's look into Tim "Romeo's" life and how things came to be.
I have to say I'm an Army girl that's fallen in love with a bunch of Marine's, and any Army girl will tell you that's hard as hell to do (no offense to my Marine's I love all of my military men!) Gillian Zane has this incredible talent for wielding emotions, so much so that she makes you feel each and every gut wrenching emotion as it happens in t ...more

No se puede considerar una historia independiente en absoluto.
De hecho, casi me da algo cuando me di cuenta que Romeo no es el protagonista de las siguientes novelas (estoy por saltarme la serie entera solo por saber qué ha sido de él, ya que al parecer es el prota de la novela final, la 5ª). Sin duda la autora ha sido capaz de plantear una situación imposible y dar a los personajes una reacción muy realista. Creí que me desesperaba con la adolescente, ya que parecía incapaz de darse cuenta de l ...more

Amazing prequel
Unlike the other books in this series, this book is not a romance. This is the story of the first encounters as the SHTF for a zombie apocalypse. This book is gritty and amazing. This story isn't just set in New Orleans, as a NOLA girl at heart, I can assure that the author really does know the city. Absolutely amazing, edge if you're seat, rapid page turner, well it is if you aren't pausing to check out of your window that it is still fiction. ;) ...more

Zombies and Romance....Absolutely!
I bought this book because the author was going to be at a signing I went to recently. Best. Decision. Ever.
Starts off action packed and doesn't stop during the whole book!! I can't wait to find out what happens with Romeo and Lena...and the rest of the crew.
This is a new MUST READ series for me!! ...more

Hated Alicia, the annoying little sister.
I received this book for free from Author in exchange for an honest review.This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I was surprised when I got an email from Gillian with her latest book in it before Christmas time. Unfortunately, I was extremely busy and couldn't get it done by release day, but I did read it and now the review.
Romeo is one of he survivors we have gotten to know in the three books that came out first. This one rewinds to the time right before the zo ...more
Review originally published at love literature art and reason book review blog.
Gillian Zane is also a prominent book blogger that I respect. I knew if I was going read any indie book, one by her wouldn’t be riddled with errors and plot holes because she frequently speaks out about those kinds of issues. I started with the prequel so that I could hit my category in the 2016 POPSUGAR Reading Challenge for reading a book and it’s prequel.

Not sure where all these 5 star reviews came from. I gave it three stars just for being able to see how Romeo was before the zpoc, even if he wasn't real likable. His sister was an awful person. Wow, can't stress enough that she made spoiled rotten brats look like angels. Then add in her acting completely stupid during aa virus outbreak and you get a girl who thankfully got what she asked for. Sounds harsh, but man did I hate that character. I never saw a single redeeming trait in her. Th ...more

I just finished all five books in four days! Not since, Rhiannon Frater's 'As the World Dies' trilogy have I been this captivated by a series. I, recently read a series by M. Lauryl Lewis, and at the end of the first four books I was gravely disappointed. So much so, that I voiced that opinion here on Goodreads. Afterward, I felt guilty. Writing a series of this magnitude requires an imagination and level of determination that I cannot match in any aspect of my life outside of being a parent.

Great read
I read this after reading the other 3 books in the series. It's a great place to start the series and it was great to read after. I'm am loving the world the author has created and I find myself wanting to get to know all of the characters within the series instead of just the leads. I can easily see this turning into a multiple book series and I couldn't be more excited! The books are on the shorter side, but the is no shortage of excitement and detail to keep you deeply intrigued. Ea ...more

It was a normal security detail until suddenly it wasn't.

A missing niece, and a movie star that isn't very helpful are just a few of the obstacles Romeo faces as these sick people take over New Orleans. Can he collect his family and get them safely to the compound? Will a simple to trip to the super-center be the end of his family? ...more
