REVIEW:
This was one hell of a book. Everybody always jokes around about the zombie apocalypse, but could you imagine if it really came true? Having to hide for survival and hope that one day a cure or something comes along. Yeah, I think I will pass lol.
Devin has been making runs to surrounding towns and cities to search for food and supplies for the survivors at the prison. It’s a dangerous mission to day almost every day, but people are depending on him, including his sister. Plus, every time he goes, someone goes with him for backup, and he tired of seeing people die. But on one trip out, he and his partner of the day are ambushed. At the point when they think all hope is lost, someone rescues them. And he’s immune to bites. Devin thinks Noah may finally be the hope they need. But of course, someone is greedy and corrupt and they have to struggle even harder to survive. But it may not be in time.
Man this was an emotional book. Not only having to deal with zombies, but protecting everyone and having to kill friends and loved ones. Yeah i couldn’t do it I don’t think. I felt so bad for Noah in this book. Having to watch his own family turn on each other and then having to kill them. Then he finds out he can offer a chance of healing people and he gets used. Thankfully Devin stepped in to help. Devin has been through enough himself, and each time he makes a trip, he seems to lose a little bit more of himself. I don’t know how they survived. To constantly see blood and death, people turning on each other as they are overcome with the virus. I don’t know if I could face a new day. Devin wanted to give up many times himself, but he had to hang on. If for nothing else, then for his sister. I guess I can’t really say what I’d do. You can’t really imagine what you would do in a situation until you are in it, but just the thought alone is enough to want to give up.
If you like zombies and such, you are in for a treat with this one. It’s really good. Twists and turns and things that kinda surprise you. Good good book
