Ugh!
I knew things were going too good. I'm heart broken again. As if Anna wasn't enough. Those author doesn't hold back. She slices characters with glee. I hate that but I understand. Why does it seems everything centers around the people who were in that hospital at the beginning of book 1?

Sarah Lyons Fleming's books are always bumped to the top of my to-be-read list upon release. Its not just that I love zombie books (which I do), but because Fleming's writing is so amazing. Her descriptions paint the world and its scenes so clearly that it runs like a movie in my mind as I read. Despite her detailed world building, her books never get bogged down in long descriptions and needless dialogue. Her books flow organically, feeding details as it goes. Her characters are realistic, interesting and pull you into their own stories. Knowing from her previous series what was going to happen to some of these characters ahead of time, did not deter me from wanting to know their full stories. I found myself trying to prepare myself for a loss I knew was coming, but was unable to do so.
I laughed out loud and I cried hard. I was fearful for characters and angry for others.
You'd think that an author who so brutally illustrates with every book that happy endings are never a guarantee, but loss is, that the writing would be despairing and bleak, but her books are full of fight and hope and enduring spirit.

3.5 Stars for Story, 4 Stars for Narration
Mini-Review:
With the core characters and main plot elements set in the first book, there is more emphasis on the minutia of survival. Some of it is fairly interesting and some are dragging on snoresville. Lots of heartstring pulling developments and character growth that made me smile in utter predictability. I find myself invested in the story because it is easy to follow and has just enough twists to make me grin in devilish delight. Let's see if book 3 is out cause I would read it now to wrap the series up in a tidy knot.
