Solid 4.5
Best book I’ve read so far this year. Terrific pace, horrifying, with high stakes.
Mad it took me so long to finish because real life got in the way.

This book wasn’t scary to me, but the multiple perspectives shown here are bloody interesting.
It makes me ask myself- what would I do to provide for my family? What would I do for my children? Would I care for my vampire child?
I felt sympathetic to everyone in this one, even when their desperation turned deadly.
The ending was…odd though, which is my major gripe.

If you're looking for a horror novel that is well-written, uber creepy, and is also a study on what parents will do for their children, this is the book you're looking for. This one isn't for the sensitive reader, it can be pretty graphic and feels very realistic.
A parasite living in every human on earth is no longer dormant. It kills only children and brings them back to life three days later. But to survive, these kids need more than air, water, and food. How far will parents go to make sure their little ones stay alive? And how far will little ones go to live?
I read the audio book version, and the narrator was fantastic.
