Set aside two hours for this PG short contemporary procedural read that introduces the Zombies Are Human series, alternating internet posts with what happened to a set of teenage runaways. The review copy has been in my queue for a while and this is my voluntary review. ( )

Well written and very well paced; I like the fact that it's quite short. It's a nice dose of story that leaves you wanting more. I'll definitely read the following releases. ( )

Just when I thought the zombie genre was dead, along comes [a:Jamie Thornton|5661809|Jamie Thornton|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1388715153p2/5661809.jpg] with an approach that is fresh and interesting. The main character, Mary, is a runaway who is trying not just to survive, but to actually thrive on the streets with her close-knit group of supportive friends.

As the story progresses, things, as always, take a turn for the worse. The tale is fascinating and ultimately poignant; Thornton's narrative style is taut and fast-paced, and in this story the tension never lets up.

Read this novella. I promise you, you will enjoy it. ( )

*Received a copy from a Goodreads giveaway.

The most interesting part of the book for me was the blog Mary posts on, though it's hard to imagine the world she's living in because it sounds a lot like our world now, but also like there's supposed to be some super dystopian quality to it. The virus was the standard government gone wrong set-up.

My biggest issue with this book is that even after reading all of it I felt more like I'd read just the first chapter. As in: there's not a lot of plot, not a lot of the characters. I didn't really get to inhabit their world before the book ended. ( )

This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways.
I won Germination at a giveaway in exchange for a review.

I liked it. I'm not much of a fan of neither first person nor diary/blog posts/etc kind of stories, but the bits of 'posts' were only the start of chapters, so it wasn't such a bother. The writing style was good; I wasn't very sure at first, but after the first part the story picked up... and although it's such a short story that you can't really tell just what's going on exactly, it is an interesting introduction and I can see possibilities with it. I'm interested enough about what will happen to keep on reading, that's for sure. ( )
