Since the events in Chicago, Devin and Noah dare to believe that a future is possible, and there is hope. For them and humanity.

Devin has fought to stay sane in a world of horror for too long and his one shining light is Noah. When Noah heads off on some misguided venture to search for answers, Devin knows he can’t bear to be the one left behind again.
They are two men who have nothing, and everything, to lose.
REVIEW:
All I have to say is I hope there is a book three coming, because you guys and these cliffhangers are driving me out of my ever loving skull! Humph. I do have to say I expected a few things different but characters will be characters. And of course, why is it in a zombie apocalypse, there have to be those stupid ones? Right? Ugh. Not a bad book though.
Tensions are high, tempers are flaring, and since their illustrious leader got himself killed in Chicago,, things seem to be unraveling quickly. And Chicago is bad news on it’s own. The one bright hope they had, shot to shit. So moral is even lower. And Devin isn’t trusting of some that escaped Chicago. But what can he do but watch. But Noel is sick of not feeling needed and feeling hopeless, he takes off to find answers on his own. Maybe somewhere someone has medical records of what’s been happening and why Noel is the way he is. He wants to help, to be needed. Devin and Hank set out after him, to save him. While they are following Noel and trying to rescue him, the all come across info that is shocking. And Noel seems to be piecing things together. But now he’s captured, and zombie have come to investigate. The team that captured him seem ok but Devin doesn’t trust easy. But they need to get to safety. So they work together to go home. But things are changing now. And not necessarily for the good. Devin can’t live with Noel, but he can’t be the man Noel needs. Maybe it will work out. But he doesn’t know how.
Ok so I understand Devin is still raw from losing his boyfriend. I get that. And I get that these are trying times and pushing everyone to the brink of insanity and beyond. However, I was so frustrated at Devin’s behavior. One minute he finally says he loves Noel but then just leaves him hanging. Closes himself off again. You can’t keep doing that to someone you love. And Noel feel like everything he says is like stepping on a landmine. Nothing he says seems to be right. Noel just wants to help. He needs to feel like he’s contributing….doing his part. Oh these two. I want to smack Devin and hug Noel.
This book was a little off for me too. Sometimes it seemed like things were just jumbled together. Everyone is going different directions amd no one can get it together. So when something bad happens, everyone is disjointed. There’s no flow. Sometimes we need a little chaos but work it out but sometimes we need smooth and for someone to catch a break.
