Interesting play on the bee decline. Bees are genetically modified to try and help save their drastic decline, but with devastating consequences. The new venom starts a terrible flu pandemic. The vaccine that is developed winds up causing those who take it to mutate and become extremely feral and violent, with no visible shred of humanity left. The pesticide used to wipe out the new bees causes most all plant and animal life to die.

Fiona wakes to find herself in her room, but it looks like it hasn't been lived in in years. Her family is gone, the world is destitute, and her body has gone from a tween's to a woman's. Her last memory is her 13th birthday, but now she is more like 17. There is a spider-looking tattoo on her hand, but it has ten legs. As she runs into people in the world, she finds out that this is a big deal, and it's not a good one.

Well written, but obviously YA. A quick read, good pacing and action.
