American Rapture
by C.J. Leede
This book is everything. A coming-of-age in a zombie apocalypse, found family, political/societal commentary, and a deep dive into religion. Every aspect was done in such a meaningful and full way that just felt correct. There was no part of the plot that I felt was unnecessary and everything connected in a heartbreaking but beautiful way.
The story follows Sophie, an extremely sheltered Catholic teenager. Her twin brother was taken a few years before after her parent found out he was gay and sent him to a conversion group. When a zombie apocalypse begins, turning the infected into list filled zombies, Sophie sees her own parents become infected, she and decides she must find her twin brother wherever he ended up. The rest of the book follows her journey, the people she meets, and the questions she has surrounding her religion.
This book had me absolutely hooked from the first chapter and it was all I can think about for the three days I read it. I fell in love with all of the characters and their stories and really gained so much from this reading experience. Easily one of the best fiction books I’ve ever read.
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC.
