[Crystal Hutchinson · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don't care much for the cover art, but my review is over the literature. Excellent writing. It reminds me of "The Walking Dead" television show, where the reader/viewer gets stories about each person and the situation they are experiencing. This book would actually make a pretty good miniseries. I'm glad I read it. Gory enough for a zombie buff, but appropriate for YA fiction.
