dark mysterious tense fast-paced

Finished in one day and it snagged my attention from page one. The author writes so vividly I could picture everything. Was definitely darker than I imagined but was so so good. Teddy is my favorite character and is just and Angel baby. Definitely recommend

This book pleasantly surprised me! I don’t usually enjoy YA anymore just because the language used is so juvenile. This book was an exception to that rule. This book chilled me in a different way than most horror novels. It was an interesting new take on the zombie trope.

Wren Warren lives in Hollow’s End, where her farm, Rainbow Fields, grows wheat in all colors of the rainbow. Three other farms in town also grow so-called “miracle crops.” This brings in tourists by the dozen. When a sliver sludge the townsfolk call blight starts eating away at those crops and turning people and animals into zombies with glowing white eyes, Wren, along with her boyfriend Derek, start searching for a cure. The more time passes, the more secrets she realizes her family has been keeping.

Will she and Derek be able to stop the blight before it’s too late?

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a free copy to review!

I liked this a whole lot better than I thought I would! Whenever I picked it up, I had a very hard time putting it down.

2.5. It's rare that I even notice how something is told beyond the writing itself but the first person perspective in this one just never clicked for me. I don't know why, I only know that it didn't. I appreciated that right away Wren was infected because it was so unexpected, and this did a good job of doing the unexpected thing, but I just never gelled with the writing for some reason.
