If the first has left you hanging, this one will leave you hanging and haunted.
Not because of the horrors of the infected (which is already very scary)
but also of what's happening to Cale.
Cale is now facing more than just the undead. Having witnessed not only the deaths of those whom he came to know personally or even for a short time, he now also faces his own guilt. He believes to have been the one to cause the deaths of those he had been responsible for.
"Then why am I the only one here?" Cale sobbed. "You guys trusted me, and it was my ideas that got you killed."
And the same cycle of hope and hopelessness goes again. One does not overpower the other, giving the readers a reason to cheer Cale on to his mission of going home to his family at all costs.
The thing that I like in this book is that it now gave more details as to how Lauren is coping, along with her daughter, Marie. On her side, she battles the advances of another survivor, Ben.
"Lauren just stood there awkwardly. She knew how he felt, but now he'd said it. He'd done so much for them, and if things had been different; if she'd never met Cale, then maybe. But she was married, and committed to Cale."
