Say You'll Stay

By Anna Callaway

I am so thrilled I got picked to read this post-apocalyptic romance ARC!! 🧟‍♀️ This is my FIRST ever zombie read. And I must say, this did NOT disappoint. Anna Callaway has an unique way of pulling your emotions to the surface while reading and shifts them to feel everything. Reading this had me wondering what's next!! This read gives all The Walking Dead vibes. Cole and Olivia's story is forever going to hold a place in my heart. 

The story begins in DC with pandemic that has the dead rising. 

Cole, while searching for his friend Wade and dodging rotters (the dead) he hears a cry. Praying it's a kitten and not a baby.  Cole finds Olivia has just given birth to Lucy. 

Olivia, having killed her abusive husband who had turned into a rotter, she has nothing left to lose and simply wants to survive.

You can sense the abuse Olivia has had to endure by her husband. You can't help but feel for her, your heart breaks for her. She is such an amazing character that shows growth. 

Cole, Olivia and Lucy all begin to journey towards safer lands. 

Cole stole my heart when he claimed Olivia and Lucy as his own so they can attend to them. The convo he has with Baby Lucy when Olivia was sleeping MELTED MY SOUL 🫠
