I love nothing more than a strong, sassy as fuck FMC who has no patience for men in power.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of historicak dystopian settings with zombies.

The writing style was easy to read and the plot was interesting enough throughout the book causing this book to become a page turner for me. 

The whole story constantly kept me wondering who the biggest monster is: the zombies or human beings? I never knew how to trust as a character. Some seemed nice while they were fully capable of stabbing others in the back. 

Apart from that I also like how even shamblers (as they are called in the book) evolve, making things even more tense and scary. 

I am looking forward to reading the second book!

This was an entertaining read that did a good job of portraying what a zombie apocalypse would be like during the Civil War. The characters fell a little flat for me, but I found myself rooting for their survival towards the end of the book.
