H-O-L-Y C-R-A-P batman! This book gave me chills.

This book was interesting. It's about trying to survive during the zombie apocalypse, even though Sloan, our main character and narrator isn't so sure se actually want to survive.

Courtney Summers writes good and she knows how to make her reader feel the emotions she needs them to feel.
