Publisher's summary

The newest terrifying audiobook in the Walking Dead series, thrillingly written by horror master Jay Bonansinga, is truly infectious....

Lilly Caul has risked everything. She has weathered over four years of the apocalypse. She has done things that she would not have dreamt of doing in her darkest nightmares.

But she has survived. And now, she has staked a claim in the plague-ravaged city of Atlanta.

It is a safe haven for her people, rising high above the walker-ridden streets, a place of warmth and comfort. But for Lilly Caul, something is missing....

She still dreams of her former home - the quaint little village known as Woodbury - a place of heartache as well as hope. For Lilly, Woodbury, Georgia, has become a symbol of the future, of family, of a return to normal life amidst this hell on earth.

The call is so powerful that Lilly decides to risk everything in order to go back...to reclaim that little oasis in the wilderness.

Against all odds, against the wishes of her people, Lilly leads a ragtag group of true believers back across the impossible landscape of walker swarms, flooded rivers, psychotic bands of murderers, and dangers the likes of which she has never known. Along the way, she discovers a disturbing truth about herself. She is willing to go to the darkest place in order to survive, in order to save her people, in order to do the one thing she knows she has to do: Return to Woodbury.

Bummer....

Don’t know how much more sadness I can take from this series. I’ve have the books and listened to them multiple times. This book, and assuming last book, has bummed me out the most. Ending is not uplifting and I wouldn’t have minded if Lily had died. It would be a merciful death for her. Overall, the narration is great. However, Most of the villains in the series end up sounding like the Governor.

A solid Lilly Cull novel

another good story. You find yourself hoping for this group to have a break. How much bad shit can one group go through. also always finding myself yelling at Lilly, last two books she has had some doozy decisions.

great book!<br />but WHY OH WHY ! - - - SPOILER <br />

why my sweet little Tommy!

My Sweet beautiful Tommy!

Why writers? why?!!

I just can’t do it.

The story is ok. A bit too predictable. The problem that I have is that the narrator continuously mispronounces multiple words. His voice acting is quite good. However, his pronunciation leaves something to be desired. Also the author needs to come up with more variety in the use of adjectives. There are more ways to describe walkers than just mortified. Also the continued use of “pink mist” gets really old. Thesauruses and dictionaries... wise investments.

Exceptional! By far my favorite apocalyptic books

just a wonderful series. Just finished the eighth and final book and I can't wait to dive back in to round two. It's a completely different perspective from what you seen on TV. A must-read for Walking Dead fans for sure.

I liked this one!

I’ve read them all now and I like how this one ended. I think this one was better than the one before. More exciting things happening!

Disappointed in the last two books.

It is a good story, but I would like to see more success and less failure. We need at least a core group to develop long term.

love these books.

what a great addition to the Woodbury stories. I hope to hear more about Lilly caul and her rag time group of survivors

Good Book for The Walking Dead fans of any kind!

On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it about a 6.5, maybe a 7. It was very much so like taking a season of TWD and putting it in book form and felt alot like a different version of a Neagan type story with different characters. Although it wasn't what I was expecting it was still good. Just from looking at the cover I thought it was going to be about Judith all grown up and going back after so many years but I was completely wrong! Still a good book though!

Amazing

The story gets better and better can't wait for the next one

I think I'll speak for most of your readers I would love to see Lily/Woodberry in the comics
