A truly moving love story with a heartwarming twist at the end. Fast paced- I read it in two chunks. If you like the romances of Cutter and Hayder this will be right up your alley.

I would have liked it more if I were in the mood for a zombie-apocalypse horror thriller. I had heard it was good and just jumped on in. Oops! It was well written and exciting, but kept me up and anxious when I should have been sleeping.

This book was amazing. If it wasn't for the rushed lackluster ending I would have given it 5 stars.

It was finally a new twist on the zombie novel. Once our heroes find themselves out it the world it devolves into the average zombie tropes. It is as if Feed and The Enemy series had a very well written baby. ...more
