How We End

How We Survive, Book 1

De: LM Juniper

Narrado por: Nathaniel Priestley, Savy Des-Etages

Last of Us meets The Walking Dead in this post apocalyptic story. Perfect for fans of The Cascadia Series, and Until The End Of The World by Sarah Lyons Fleming.

A deadly infection. Seven Strangers. The fight for survival begins...

Jake didn't think his night could get worse, but that was before his train stops deep underground and zombies attack and things go from worst-day-ever to run-for-your-life terror.

Liv is good at running, mostly from other people straight into a bottle of vodka. But as chaos erupts on the city streets, depending on others may be her only chance at survival.

London is gone. The world has ended. In the chaos that remains, seven strangers fight to escape the city. But as they navigate this new and dangerous world, they soon discover that surviving the apocalypse means confronting their deepest fears and making impossible choices.

How We End is a heart-pounding diverse story with a character driven plot that explores how societal collapse forces ordinary people into extreme situations and reveals the lengths they'll go to survive in a world gone mad. Will they make it out alive, or will they become just another casualty?

"The How We Survive series is zombies with a cool twist and real characters you root for. LM Juniper shoves you into the action while also tugging on your heartstrings." - Sarah Lyons Fleming, Author of Until The End of The World Series

I liked the story but

I enjoyed the male narrator and the story however the female narrator was really bad. It was hard to keep listening to her but because of the story and male narrator it was good.

dystopia greatness

I really enjoyed this book. it took me forever to finish it was well worth the time. The characters brought me in. I felt all the emotions throughout the story. can't wait to start the companion one

Solid debut and welcome entry

LM Juniper’s debut novel is a welcome entry to the post apocalyptic genre. Solid storytelling with great characters, looking forward to the next entry.

Grabbed my attention

This was a very interesting take on the source of the disease that was creating zombies. In fact the nature of the disease was quite unique. I was intrigued by some of the characters and really liked the American couple. The male narrator was excellent. The female narrator was good, but not as good as the male. I love the big dog!

Fresh take on the Apocalypse

As a self proclaimed zombie novel enthusiast I am a bit bored with the cliché burly, military, gun slinging, macho man protagonist. It was so refreshing to get into this novel and find a new approach and a new set of faces to add to the genre. The character development was well paced. I appreciate that the origin and science of the outbreak, while not totally fleshed out, is addressed enough that there aren’t giant holes in the plot. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the genre but doesn’t need an overly gory, firearms and ammo centric storyline that follows the normal tropes. I’m looking forward to following this authors future works.

Cozy Zombie Apocalypse? Yes?!

I really loved this book so much I had to write a review when normally I just give the stars and move on! Between the plot, the relationships between characters, the representation, it was all so lovely. I’m normally an audiobook girlie because I have three kids and ADHD so I struggle to sit and read but I enjoyed this so much I’m going to buy the hard copy and the sequel so I don’t have to wait for the next audiobook to finish 😈 *I say as I re-start the audiobook to listen all over again*

Non-Toxic Zombie apocalypse

The characters are real. I loved everything.Thank you for writing this and creating a relatable narrative

I... Don't.. Understand.

I'm so sorry! I really wanted to love this series.

The general ideas for characters, plot, location and such are promising. I just feel like it could have used some more editing, character development, and thought on the flow of events.

I got pulled out of the story multiple times trying to relate to the character's reactions.

There's some person acting weird outside of the train. Lets give him a nickname and ignore that until its convenient for the story again.

Hmmm... my fiance is probably dead. I'm not even going to try to find them!

There's a small horde of infected running towards us, let's stop and talk.

The final straw was when they find somewhere not yet infected and they just.... go shopping. They don't warn anyone or act abnormal in any way. One character is worried another character will be given a hard time by the locals because he isn't dressed nicely and needs a shower. They just calmly stop at the pharmacy and then go grocery shopping for survival and zombie killing supplies. Everyone is just going about their business as normal. I rewinded multiple times and kept trying to figure out if I missed something, then gave up.

Again, I'm so sorry. Maybe it's the way it's narrated. Maybe it's better in print. Maybe I'm just out of touch and don't relate to characters the way others would. Maybe I should have pushed through the last half of the book and everything would have made sense. Who knows?! I'm just baffled. I honestly feel like maybe I'm not reading the same book as everyone else.

I wish the best of luck to the author and sincerely hope they continue writing. This was a wonderful idea, it just needs some more editing IMHO.

A little hard to visualize

I listened to How We Began first, but I wish I hadn’t; it was really depressing and kind of gave too much information about the fungus so that the How We End book seemed anti climactic where the zombies were concerned. I’m not sure why the two books’ titles weren’t reversed. I liked this How We End book, but kept having to backtrack because I’d space out and all of a sudden they’d be in a forest, a boat, a house, a car, and I hadn’t paid attention and didn’t know why they were there. I really liked the main character, Jake, but never could warm up to Liv. The zombies were extra repulsive, almost to the point that I’m not sure I’d want to read any more if this is a series unless Jake was still the main character.

Loving the diversity

As someone obsessed with TLoU, this was like travelling back to the curious world of post-apocalypse and melting into the horror it brings.
