Publisher's Summary

It's the end of the world. Six students have taken cover in Cortege High but shelter is little comfort when the dead outside won't stop pounding on the doors. One bite is all it takes to kill a person and bring them back as a monstrous version of their former self.

To Sloane Price, that doesn't sound so bad. Six months ago, her world collapsed and she's failed to find a reason to keep going. Now seems like the perfect time to give up. As Sloane eagerly waits for the barricades to fall, she's forced to witness the apocalypse through the eyes of five people who actually want to live. But as the days crawl by, everyone's motivations to survive begin to change in startling ways....

Could be worse. I liked the narator.

For about half the novel the characters are not doing anything. We're sitting and waiting.

How about taking stock? No, we didn't think of that.
How about trying to clear the area around the school? No, too dangorous.
How about a plan? No, I'm too mentally exausted to think even after my 18 days of no responcabilities.
Well, how is the stroy. Teen drama.
How are the characters. Good enough, they stick to their archtypes but not exessively.
So if you can deal with their characters lack of understanding of politics on small scales, their lack of logical decision making, and how most people are more experienced in what to do in these sonnario because of Corola and zombie media. Standard asking price for Zombie books, and you like Teen drama it's ok, I just like my logics. So from average to bad.

The narator was pretty good. You know who's talking by the narator's voice and the way she reads the contradictory thoughts is good. One character never clicked right with me with one word. The main character's name. He would call it out, and I would think she was hallucinating the father again. But no just Rhys. Oh well.

Honestly I perfer Live-School to this primarely because of the lighter tone because it knows that school kids with Zombies is stupied. Also, I think that's just my soft spot for puppies.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
