I enjoyed the story - picking up where the previous book left off. Not sure what caused the crash, but the group find themselves outnumbered by Arvies and just when they were going to be overrun, help arrives. However, their saviors were not what they expected. Everyone pitches in and continues the fight, and to keep it realistic, some of the likable characters are killed off. Will this group succeed in their biggest undertaking yet and make it to South Dakota?

They were some slow parts in the story which I had to skim through, and the love story between Abi and Finn appeared overwhelming to me. There was so much repetition about their love for one another - I get it, but other readers might have enjoyed the developing love story. I didn't purchase a love story. I wanted a zombie tale, and had to turn pages until the action resumed. I was also disappointed that the final 10% of the book was a preview of the next installment and could have been used to complete this book, instead.

Still a worthwhile read about a different kind of "smart" zombies and a human telecommunicator with a special gift. ( )
