This was an end of the world apolyptic tale about sleepwalkers and the folks that follow them (to keep them safe?)!

This was good and it kept me going to the end, however, there did seem to be a LOT of characters to keep track of.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine for this advanced readers copy. Release date is set for July 2019.

Not a fit for me. The synopsis sounds amazing but the authors political views got in the way of enjoying anything about this.

Everything this book does competently, which is not all-encompassing, some other book does better.

I thought this had a really interesting plot with solid characters. 

The story beats and character arcs are very similar to the Walking Dead seasons 1-3…so honestly not too much of this book felt “fresh” but it was still entertaining. 

If you like TWD or apocalypse stories, you’ll probably like this a lot.
