Resumen del Editor

When the world ends, can love survive?

For Scarlet, raising her two daughters alone means fighting for tomorrow is an everyday battle. Nathan has a wife, but can't remember what it's like to be in love; only his young daughter Zoe makes coming home worthwhile. Miranda's biggest concern is whether her new VW Bug is big enough to carry her sister and their boyfriends on a weekend escape from college finals.

When reports of a widespread, deadly "outbreak" begin to surface, these ordinary people face extraordinary circumstances and suddenly their fates are intertwined. Recognizing they can't outrun the danger, Scarlet, Nathan, and Miranda desperately seek shelter at the same secluded ranch, Red Hill. Emotions run high while old and new relationships are tested in the face of a terrifying enemy - an enemy who no longer remembers what it's like to be human.

Set against the backdrop of a brilliantly realized apocalyptic world, love somehow finds a way to survive. But what happens when the one you'd die for becomes the one who could destroy you?

Red Hill grabs you from the first page and doesn't let go until its stunning conclusion. This is #1 New York Times best-selling author Jamie McGuire at her unforgettable best.

I could do without Emma Galvin in this narration

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Absolutely cannot stand Emma Galvins narration. I picked this book because of Z.Webbers performances in past books have been amazing. IMO Galvins voice sounds like a teenage boy, it's nerdy, nasally, annoying...just awful.

AWESOME

I'm always leery when trying new authors but i'm so glad I did with Jamie McGuire. It words flow smoothly the story is strong and realistic. I do hope their is a sequel to Red Hill. It isn't that the ending wasn't satisfying. It was. I'm just curious what happened to so many great characters.

good book. hard to follow

the story was great. it was hard sometimes to follow who was saying what. Different people narrating the same character, several different voices for the same person

Just Ok

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

No. I originally had the physical boo (from the library) but I never seemed to have time to finish it. I purchased this because I wanted to see how the story turned out. I was sadly disappointed.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Ho-hum and pretty anti-climatic. You could tell from the way the story was written what was going to happen at the end. We all knew she was waiting for her daughter. Eventually they would have to show up, right?

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Sure, though I did not like the voice of Nathan. When I read the book, his character seemed kind of "nerdy/brow beaten". To have such a strong male voice narrate his character seemed out of place, and didn't match the story.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No.

Any additional comments?

I know there is a part two, but I will not be wasting a credit on it. It seems like something that could've been added to this book.

Highly recommend!!

The writer is wonderful, holds your interest. The narrators are about the best there are. LOVE all three. Made me look for more of their narrations. Planning to buy Monsters Among Us!!

Need this.

I haven’t found a good zombie book in a while.i had read Monsters Among Us a long time ago and stumbled across this. Was really cool to read the mother’s story. Definitely a nice addition to my library.

Great Story

Loved it! Interesting. But it was similar to many zombie stories. I did enjoy the people's stories.

loved it!

So much loss, and hope wrapped into one novel! wonderful read! loved that it wasn't the predictable zombie novel!

Really bad

Riddled with plot wholes. I want my money back. Don’t waste your money like I did.

Incredible

A must listen! This felt very different from her other books but it was incredible.
