I love zombie apocalypse books and this book met all my criteria and then some! The characters, the scenes painted, the plots - all terrific. The bad guy was such a jerk, I wanted to reach into the book and kill him myself...ugh, but she made me feel all those emotions and I love it when an author can do that for me. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book, and give book 1 a read as well - you will not be disappointed!
