Publisher's summary

Cassie Forrest isn't surprised to learn that the day she’s decided to get her life together is also the day the world ends. After all, she’s been on a self-imposed losing streak since her survivalist parents died: she’s stopped painting, broken off her engagement to Adrian and dated a real jerk. Rectifying her mistakes has to wait, however, because Cassie and her friends have just enough time to escape Brooklyn for her parents’ cabin before Bornavirus LX turns them into zombies, too. This is difficult enough, but Cassie’s tag along ex-boyfriend and her friend’s bratty sister have a knack for making everything, even the apocalypse, more unpleasant. When the two attract a threat as deadly as the undead to their safe haven, Cassie’s forced to see how far she’ll go to protect those she loves. And it’s a lot farther than she’d anticipated. This, coupled with Adrian’s distant voice on Safe Zone Radio and, of course, the living dead, threaten to put Cassie right back into the funk she just dragged herself out of. Survival’s great and all, especially when you have leather armor, good friends and home-brewed beer, but there’s something Cassie must do besides survive: tell Adrian she still loves him. And to do that, Cassie has to find faith that she’s stronger than she thinks, she’s still a crack shot and true love never dies.

Undead 2.0!

At first I was a little skeptical of the whole zombie -end of-the-world story as I'be seen and heard so many versions but I have to admit, this one drew me in to lives of each character and what they encountered on their journey to safety. I really enjoyed how the narrator protrays those characters in such a way that you feel all sorts of emotions at different points in time. bravo!

Hands down

The best book I have heard in months. It's like finding that perfect stone in a stone yard. It was all it claims to be and better. So many wonderful and fully rounded out characters, its adventure, fear, faith, love, passion and romance all in one story. I can't wait to hear the second book although I don't know how it could be better

Wow! Loved it!

Just when I though there were no more good books I fall upon this one. It was awesome! Great writing, great narration. I've listened to a bunch of end of the world type books and find myself bored frequently. Not with this one. Great story for men and women.

Amazing!

Be prepared to be drawn to characters that are so believable that you laugh and cry right along with them. The narrator does a beautiful job of putting you right into the story, making it all seem so real. The story is one I've read before buying the audible version. Rarely can any narration do a better job than my own inner narrator does but this one did and actually made it all that much better. I was never into "zombie" books before this one but this story is so much more than zombies. It's the characters that you fall in love with and can't wait to see what happens to them. I've read the entire series and let me tell you, I've laughed, I've cried and I've remembered every single one of these guys. I highly recommend both the book and the audible version. With time being such a high commodity today, this book is worth every second.

Made me a fan

I'm not a fan of sci fi, horror or zombies but this was very entertaining.

This is What I Love about Zombie Books

Having the GREATEST elements of Horror, Dystopian Society, Survival, Socialist/ Psychological Studies. It pushes through the possibilities to reveal a Dark and Light of human nature. The author is Absolutely one of The Best.

OMG. So good!

Sucked me in. Held me. Kept me wrapped until the very end.

And it was an end.
I know there are more books. I have already begun the next. But if this was all there was, it would be enough.

Terrific writing and outstanding narration.

Definitely worth the price.

Hard to put down

This is a very difficult to set down book. Someone said like Twilight, I can’t see that at all. It is I intriguing and compelling. You get to see actual character growth and it’s subtle. I hate the whole everyone on the bandwagon for Zombies, Werewolves and Vampires lit that has taken over the market but I’m glad I picked this up!

one of the best zombie apocalyps stories ever!

I have both read and listened to this book over and over again. The characters are so relatable and have such depth you'll feel like they're old friends in no time. Their struggles, trials, and sacrifices in a world plummeting into ruin will frighten, intrigue and touch you. If you are into zompoc I highly recommend giving this book a go.
