The Reapers Are the Angels
by Alden Bell
I can see why some enjoyed this book more than I did. It's well written and has a likeable protagonist and good pacing. To me though, the post-apocalyptic zombie infestation felt old. Zombies are the dullest of all supernatural creatures (except maybe elves), and although this book isn't really about zombies per se, I just couldn't muster interest for the fate of Temple, the teenage survivor making her way through the ravaged country where, luckily, the infrastructure seems intact and cars, petrol and snacks are readily available. I found her relationship with Maury touching, but was annoyed by the contrived connection between her and the man trying to kill her. The whole "let your enemy live although he swears he'll kill you"-logic felt unconvincing considering Temple's toughness and survival instincts.
I need to face it. Zombies are not for me. This could be my last zombie encounter ever (unless there's an apocalypse, but I very much doubt I would make it over to the post-apocalyptic part anyway).
