Once I started I did not want to stop. Don't hesitate to leave an honest review or reach out if you have any questions.

I really enjoyed that the book didn't just cover zombies non stop. It focused on the main characters survival. The characters in the book were relatable and likeable. people lived and died. I'd recommend it!

I liked the book a lot. It gave me vibes of another series i loved named mountain man. i enjoyed that it related to what would actually happen if the world went down.
