Eletään zombie-apokalypsin jälkeisessä maailmassa. Päähenkilö on 16-vuotias, naiivi Peter, joka on aina ollut ihastunut Cooperiin, samanikäiseen poikaan, josta kaikki pitävät.
Isä on kasvattanut Peterin hyvin suojatusti, joten tämä ei ymmärrä maailmasta paljoa (paitsi sen mitä on lukenut kirjoista), eikä ole juuri oppinut selviytymistaitojakaan. Cooperista Peterin herkkyys on kuitenkin parasta tässä, vaikka Peterillä kestääkin aikansa, että hän tajuaa Cooperillakin olevan tunteita häntä kohtaan.
En olekaan tainnut koskaan ennen lukea englanniksi näin vahvasti murteella kirjoitettua romaania. Miinusta muutoin erittäin ahmittavalle kirjalle on kuitenkin annettava hieman kliseisistä hahmoista: Peter pitää virkkaamisesta ja tilkkutäkkien ompelemisesta, kun Cooper puolestaan on kovan luokan eräjorma, joka ei tiedä mitä saippua on. Lopussa oli myös tavattoman pitkä infodumppaus, jonka aikana kummastelin, miten päähenkilö ei ehdi jäätyä aivan lumiukoksi.
Tästä tulee mieleen M. Night Shyamalanin The Village ja Erik J. Brownin [b:All That’s Left in the World|59108549|All That’s Left in the World|Erik J. Brown|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1632839679l/59108549._SY75_.jpg|89343609].

I had such a great time reading this book, I hardily ever reach for this sort of genre so it makes it extra fun to read. The setting is great, living on a lake to keep zombies at bay but dreading the winter when the lake freezes over and nowhere is safe? What a brilliant idea!
I absolutely blasted through the first half of the book, when more secrets got revealed I thought it was cool the way the story progressed. I didn't even realise it was part of a duology until after, but I'm very interested to carry on with Timberdark to find out more.

I went in expecting a wintery horror with zombies and a gay romance, and on that it delivered. What I didn't expect was such beautiful, tender and thought provoking writing, and for the horror to come not just from everywhere. This was so consumable, the worldbuilding was rich and interesting, the characters were believable and the atmosphere was intense. Highly recommend.

Zombies and a gay love story... Who could ask for anything more.
I found this book to be a fast paced thrill ride of a zombie book. I tend to like zombie books that deal with bigger issues, and this one doesn't disappoint. I also just adore the two main characters.
There is a sequel coming out this year, I believe, and I can't wait .

I couldn’t put this book down, this was my first time dipping into a genre like this. This book did not go way I expected at all. It’s not the most well written but that doesn’t bother me and the love story is very beautiful. Sexuality is definitely not the main plot, the actual plot is interesting and gripping.
