Well, it's been a little bit since I read anything about zombies. I've found that most zombie stories pretty much are almost all alike. The end of the world as we know it and everyone starts getting eaten by flesh eaeting zombies, right?

This one starts with a strange gray rain coming down and then all of sudden the dead rise and start attacking people. What I liked about this story was that it was really four separate stories all wrapped up into one. First there is the one about Billie, who ends up having to kill her own sister because she turned into one of the creatures. Then there is Des, who calls himself the Zombie Wrangler. Then the Joe, who lives for nothing except of the memories of what could have been. And finally, August, an older man who ended up having to kill his whole family after months of hiding from the dark creatures. In the rest of the book - all four people find each other and realize that there is power in numbers.

But what really had me going was all the action. There was plenty of shooting, fighting and struggles of these characters to survive. It kind of makes you wonder what people would actually do in real life if something like this were to happen. Are our instincts to survive enough? Can there be a light at the end of the tunnel? For these four strangers, who look to each other to have each other's backs, really the story unfolded into the Hell that has been released upon the world. You have the religious man, the boy who doesn't care, the girl who is just a girl wearing glasses and a man who lost everything. But they all lost something when humanity was taken.

There was quite the surprise at the end of the book and it really didn't end the way that I thought it was going to end. Quite surprising and a real nail-biter. If you get a chance, get this book whether in print or in ebook form and read it. It may confuse you, it may gross you out, but believe me, if you like zombies, then do try it.… (more)
