A Necessary End by Sarah Pinborough, F. Paul Wilson
5.0
Not your typical end of the world story. There were so many times where I thought that I knew where the story was headed (and wasn't too happy about it), and then everything fell into place. After reading too many action based apocalypse books this year it's good to slow down and really think about how an epidemic like this might play out.
I found the characters very human- everyone had realistic reactions to what was going on, and their personalities weren't whitewashed. I admit to hoping that Abby would be one of the first victims as soon as she was introduced, as I initially found her very grating, but even she grew on me.
Nicely done, especially if you're looking for a break from one of the zombies/bad guys everywhere apocalypse type of book.
