"Its a zombie book with a different twist. Worth read as it is just different enough. "
Autumn Frymark
"This book isn't for everyone, but I really enjoyed it. The actions of the characters always made sense for them, I never felt like a characters behavior was out of place. Even the unreasonable behavior had a reason when you knew the character, and we get to know these characters well.
I also really appreciated that this book has multiple POVs. Usually, there's always that one character who's perspective I get to and I just groan, but I didn't experience that here, because there was always something intriguing to learn, whether about the character or the world around them.
The end did leave plenty of questions to be answered, but not in an irritating sort of way where you're just left hanging. It felt to me more like "Yeah, theres more to explore here, but this takes priority right now." "
