Symbiont by Mira Grant
4.0
This ending is the kind of cliff-hanger that I like! It didn't feel like the story was dragged out unnecessarily or chopped off in an awkward place just to make more money on a third book. Instead, it felt like a natural stopping point where one phase of the story has ended (and the reader has learned a lot about what's going on) and the next phase is set to begin.
As always, I like this different take on the zombie apocalypse. I love the detailed scientific thought process that's gone into the "how" of the zombies and I REALLY love the creepy children's book quotes that start the chapters.
Note to Mira Grant, if, for some crazy reason, you haven't written Don't Go Out Alone DO IT! PLEASE!!! I'd definitely buy a copy - get someone to do really creepy illustrations, like the original ones from [b:The Scary Stories Treasury|584460|The Scary Stories Treasury|Alvin Schwartz|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1401166423s/584460.jpg|571313] by Alvin Schwartz (not the new illustrations, they're not scary at all) and I'll be the first one in line shouting at you to TAKE MY MONEY already!
