So I always find it difficult to say because it seems wrong, but I really find something so beautiful about grief. 
 I'm not a sadist I swear! It's just such a great testimony of how much someone was loved to see the devastation left behind. 
 I am not at all a fan of mopey characters. Or people. I hate it when people complain. 
 But you know what? I don't think Sloane ever complains. She's just over it. She's checked out. 
 The reason that she actually gets to me and that I loved this book, is because Sloane doesn't moan. She doesn't say 'Why me?' or play the victim. Even though she really is a victim. 
 She just wants it to end. 
 Even though the evil is gone, she still lives in a world where Lily, her big sister who protected her and promised her a future away from the hell that was her life, abandoned her. 
 The fact that she still wanted to die after she knows she has escaped her father shows how Lily's abandonment has just ruined her. 
 "I wouldn't have left you like that. Not like she did to me." I swallow hard. "She always said I'd die without her and she left anyway." 
 "But you didn't die," He says. 
 "I did," I say. "I'm just waiting for the rest of me to catch up." 
 "I think there's nothing left for me. I don't think that for everyone else." 
 "So what do they have that you don't at this point?" 
 I press my lips together. I don't want to talk about this anymore. I don't want to talk about how everyone has something even if they don't really have it anymore, that what they had makes them strong enough for this, to keep going." 
 The dynamic of the survivors put me on edge, it was realistic given the circumstances. I enjoyed the other characters, they really added to the story. Trace is so angry, and honestly, a bit of a dick. But just like all the others, he lost someone so I suppose some slack must be given. 
 It felt realistic. The tensions and fighting. The fear and desperation. The horror of the things they had to do.. 
 What would you do to survive? 
 The last 5% is quite hectic! I'm still reeling. 
 A well written book that will have you feeling the feels, they're just not the nice feels.. But we don't just read to feel good. We read just to feel. I hate sad books and depressed characters, so it shows just how well written this book is that I loved this! 
 So if you wanted lots of zombies, this is not the book for you! Although there are zombies, even more so towards the end. This book is about people and surviving, and what it means to want to survive.

 Actually really enjoyed this! 
 Review to come.
