The post-apocalyptic zombie world Grant creates is rich, detailed, and varied. I particularly enjoy that the zombies are the result of curing cancer and the common cold and also the frequent blood tests everyone must partake in. Unfortunately, Shaun and Georgia really rubbed me the wrong way with their constant aura of incest. That wouldn't have bothered me if grant had properly addressed it, but all she ever says is that people living in constant fear come to depend on those they know best. There's depending on your brother. Then there's sleeping in the same bed with him when you're both in your underwear and grown-ass adults. It says a lot when the creepiest part of a zombie book isn't the zombies.

Check out my full review.
