Helpful Score: 9
I love horror books with lots of gore. I love zombie books. I love romance books. I love dystopian books. If you can put all my love into one book, Im a really, really happy girl.
Im a happy girl.
This book had it all and the author managed to put it all together quite effectively. The story starts simple enough. Cass wakes up and goes on a search for her daughter. There are zombies everywhere and something really big has happened to the world around Cass. Right from the beginning of the story, I was wondering:
Why did Casss back look like it was used as a cutting board?
Why is the world so screwed up? Terrorism, aliens, natural disaster, wtf happened?
What happened to Casss daughter?
Why arent the Zombies going after Cass?
Whats with the blue veggies?
We gain more information (and all my questions were answered) as Cass begins her journey to find her daughter.
What I loved-
The gore is very gory. The description of the zombies eating the flesh of the other zombies is perfect (along with all the graphic, gory details about the zombies throughout the book). Ok, Im not a sadist but if Im going to read a zombie book, I want my zombies to act like zombies. In this book, they definitely do.
I also enjoyed how the author slowly made the readers aware of what was going on. You had to pay attention. If you missed a paragraph or two, you missed important clues to why the world was so messed up.
What I did not like-
I did not like how Smoke was dropped into the story. He just seemed so unbelievable that frankly, in the world of zombies eating zombies, he was more unbelievable. He did grow on me and later on you do learn more about him. However, I think my real problem is Cass succumbing to him so quickly. She didnt seem the type.
Pacing-
The pacing was all over the place especially at the beginning.
Overall-
I really enjoyed the book. I think this book will appeal to so many readers because it crosses over so many genres.
