This book is OUTSTANDING. It will grasp your attention immediately and keep you roped in throughout the whole story. The characters you will fall in love with, my favorite is Eli he is one of the main characters and has a great sense of humor as well as a big heart. As well as Eli is Aurora a badass women who is battling against the infected by herself until she meets Eli. The infected have been infected by a disease that started with just a little girl but has now taken over the world, it rots at your body and turns you violent and blood thirsty. Thousands of people are infected and they have to die because if you get infected you will die eventually but staying alive, surviving is best. Along their battle of trying to stay alive new characters come and go through their travels and survival quickly becomes the top priority. Although there is a little love between Eli and Aurora, although Eli is my favorite it's heart warming knowing that a badass women like Aurora really can love. Hopefully more is to be written by the author because his writing is outstanding and his dedication to detail is extremely noticeable. The authors writing is what creates the story, bringing the characters alive with each and everyone having their own characteristics and quirks.
