Honestly, I nearly gave up on this one. I started this series hoping that it was going to be something different from the standard virus/ zombie/ end of the world type, and it was too some extent. But the author never seems to want to use the apocalyptic scenario he's created, the whole story revolves around a group of relatively boring people and nothing happens. They go in one facility, don't like it and end up in another.

I liked the idea of the army being bad, the red eyes and the anger but it just wasn't implemented enough. The red eyes now just seem to be a minor nuisance, the army is just a collection of overly posh people and the anger is non existent. For some reason one of the party, Leila seems to know everything about everything and is "in your face" intelligent and doesn't care. And don't get me started on how posh everyone seems to be....

Not for me, but I'm not an author and I don't like to bash someone else's hard work. It's still well written and I wasn't completely bored. But I like to read to escape real life, people sitting around and talking constantly is too real life to hold my interest.
