Months ago, the world ended when an unknown virus spread throughout North America and then the world, killing millions of people. However, that is where the horror only started. The dead began to rise, and when they rose, they had an insatiable appetite for the living. A new hell had been unleashed on earth and the fight for survival had just begun.
Sadie Walker is one of the survivors in this new world. Living in north Seattle behind barriers that keep the living in and the dead out, she trying to get back to a normal life, while raising her eight-year-old nephew - if anyone even knows what “normal” is anymore. Then everything goes sideways when Shane is kidnapped by a group of black-market thieves; they bring down a crucial barrier in the city while trying to escape and flood the city with the walking dead.
After rescuing her nephew, Sadie and Shane escape Seattle on the last remaining boat, along with other survivors. However, now they must face the complete chaos of a world filled with flesh-eating zombies and humans who are playing with a whole new rule book when it comes to survival in their journey to find a new place that they can call home.

"Poor Follow-Up"
Yes, liked the first book, but not this one
No
I was disappointed in this follow-up to a solid first book. The story didn't really have the same feel as the first and went downhill fast. Lots of cliches and impossible coincidences. Didn't care for the overly perky narration.
"PERKY MUCH??"
Teens who are looking for 'cute' books
Just the author and reader
Nope.
A big cringe and sorrow over wasted money
When I think of Zombies, I'm looking for horror and action
"Pretty good"
Yes
Yes, but letting them know it does a whole lot of back story and setting things up before it gets to the real zombie action
Yes I could see that. Sadie should be played by someone like Rachel Bilson, or Erica Durrance of Smallville fame.
"12 year old maybe 13"
reader
Its really hard to hear a 12/13 year old talk about adult things. I couldn't get into the book because of the valley girl cheerleader reading this. the b's and p's are killing me!
