This book took me longer than usual to read, for one simple reason. Reading zombie books before bed is not an easy task. I had to take breathers between chapters! 
 There were very few moments in this book that could ever be considered "slow", or "boring". You never can tell when a zombie is going to jump out from behind a tree and take a chunk out of you. I had a constant sense of foreboding, even when the characters were "safe". It was probably because of the fast pace that I had a hard time connecting with the characters for the first few chapters. That being said, once the group of survivors had settled into their lot in life, I had grown attached to them all. 
 The book follows Orissa, bad girl turned hardcore zombie ass kicker. I want to be her when I grow up! I'm absolutely in LOVE with Hayden (My husband should be worried). Throw in a supporting cast of the quirky best friend, various good looking marines and a hot Irish doctor? Win! 
 My ONLY complaint is the cliff hanger ending. How long do I have to wait for the next book?!
