About this eBook
Life for Kansas was perfect until the day the world changed.
She has been hiding out for four years in solitude. It's the only way to survive. The only way not to draw the living dead. Helping a small group of people, she learns the new world might not be what she assumes. Venturing out of her refuge and comfort zone, she meets Rudy, who helps her find a greater purpose. She realizes that the world has moved on without her. Only it's not what she expects. Her knowledge of the living dead grows and only makes her more curious as humanity continues to hang on by a thread. While on her search for answers she finds comfort in new friendships and love, but her past seems as if it will haunt her forever.
Kansas takes it upon herself to help other survivors, which would be easy if the famished were the only obstacles.
In a trilogy plot thick with twists and turns, this adult dark fantasy is emotional as much as it is horrifyingly gripping.
This book contains graphic violence, intense language, sexual situations, drug use, and is intended for a mature audience.

This isn't bad or anything, but it just didn't grab me. Without being specific, there are a few things in it that just don't come off as believable to me and for some reason I had trouble FEELING with the main character. Perhaps more importantly the storyline didn't quite feel cohesive to me. Probably because there are at least two points when we take a larger side journey than necessary to bridge two plot points and the plot in no way links up with the larger plot besides to get you from point A to point B. While this might be how real life works, it doesn't really work well in fiction. Like I said, feels incohesive. It's a shame too because the zombie take seems like it might be going someplace interesting perhaps, but I just can't bring myself to read the next in series.
