The world looks the same as it ever was but is changed forever. Having found each other, the tiny group of survivors must stick together as they head towards the coast. Gary, driven by his desire to find Anna and driven to distraction by the necessarily slow pace, pushes the group onward. Danger on the road is just around the corner but the group also need to battle their own fears and the vagaries of the weather to reach their goal. Unknown to them, an ancient force, revived by the apocalypse, waits to bring death to the group before they can finally get to their journey’s end where Gary discovers Anna's fate... and her secret.
A very quick read but as good as the first. I didn't see the two surprises coming at all. Thankfully the super natural element hasn't taken over and I hope it stays that way. I like how we've been told the reason for people turning into dust and would like for the main characters to find out too, even though I'm pretty sure they won't. This isn't a stand along and book one needs to be read first.
The plot thickens. I cannot believe the ending of Book 2. Having a little difficulty with the British English....thank goodness for the kindle dictionary. I am really enjoying this series. I will be up all night reading Book 3.
