I read Zbooks. All the time. I am fascinated by this genre. It scares the heck out of me often and at times bores me. This book kept me engrossed. I came across it while looking through Goodreads Giveaways, (I didn't win but in a way I did - I purchased the book and won a good time lol). I appreciate the fact that the heroine in this has a mental illness. I love flawed survivors. After all in a Zombie Apocalypse it is highly doubtful the zombies are checking to be certain they are leaving only the strongest and fittest to survive. The author brought home the fears of what happens when I run out of medicine? That is a very realistic fear for anyone with any kind of illness during an apocalypse. I thought the author handled that fear in a realistic way. The story is also a love story - with quotable lines! Yes, it happens quickly but I imagine that will be a reality when your heart could be eaten any moment. I love how the author brought in tributes to Max Brooks and The Walking Dead. The story moves fast and is difficult to put down. It is all the more frightening by the realistic issues it deals will, (aside from mental health there is a child who turns). I think this is going to be a riveting series - it has an awesome start. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. The book works for me and I would, (and have)recommend(ed) it to Zbook readers.… (more)

After a long break from reading and a depression spell, an amazing book like this was just what I needed. What seems like any other ordinary story of a girl and a boy is actually something beautiful and addicting. Dreams becoming reality, lives being torn apart and rebuilt, and at it's heart, a story of love and two people finding each other no matter what. And it's everything I could ever want it to be.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I was able to download it for free to my kindle. Usually the free books are not this good. The story was engaging and fast paced. I was kept interested the whole time. The hero was a strong young woman who has been taking care of herself after a zombie apocalypse. Normally I wouldn't have picked up this book, because I am getting a little tired of zombie stories, but I am glad I gave it a try. I genuinely cared for Joss and was rooting for her throughout the book.… (more)
