goodreads...
An outbreak of The Fever has taken hold of
Portland, Oregon, bringing the population to its knees. The Fever spreads and
kills quickly, but the dead aren't staying dead.
When her neighbor, Jordan, saves her from one of
the infected, Alissa joins him in his plan to escape the city, the disease and
the threat of a quarantine that will lock the living in with the undead.
What she doesn't tell him is that she has an
illness of her own, one that plays tricks with her mind and makes her a
dangerous companion. But Jordan has a secret as well, one that compels him to
keep Alissa, a veritable stranger, safe at all costs.
As they fight for their lives and race for their
freedom, they'll discover that what they truly need in order to survive is to
stay together until the end.
My take...
UNTIL THE END was a book I just happened to
stumble upon over on Amazon. It was only 99cents so I thought what the hay.
Plus, the best thing? It is pure zombies!
I loved this author’s take on it. Sure it is like
every other zombie read out there, but the fact that the MC needs certain
medicines to keep her composure in life? That made it more real. Well, as real
as any zombie read you can find. But seriously, what about the people who need
certain medications to live? Will they be the first to succumb in the end? Or
will they fight and learn to survive? Really a great idea and I was very happy
with the entire read. In fact, I had to make myself put the book away late at
night, 75% in, and finish the next morning. I couldn’t stop reading this book!
It was that good, that intense!
***
I've brought this on him. He's a hero, my hero. A
knight in shining armor and I've led him straight into the dragon's keep. He
should have saved someone else. Someone worth saving. He should have ignored my
cried and saved himself, and if I could go back and change anything, it would
be running from Dee. It would be crying out and fighting the inevitable because
at least if I had died alone in that apartment, Jordan would still have a
snowball's chance in hell of making it into tomorrow.
***
I loved Jordan and Alissa's relationship from the
start. It was a chemistry that sparked and never once extinguished throughout
the whole book. The guy comes in and saves the day and together they set out in
search of her Uncle's home. That is their one goal. Besides living that is. But
together they are comfortable with each other and have a connection that is
truer than ones that have been formed for years. And their witty banter had me
laughing throughout. Yes, their humor was the perfect balance in a world gone
straight to hell at the hands of flesh eating zombies.
Love zombies? Need something that goes a little
deeper than just tearing flesh and bone cracking gore? This is the book for you
then. I inhaled it and already moving on to book 2, IN THE END. I cannot wait
to see what becomes of my 2 favorite people. Be forewarned though, this is one
intense read! And maybe a little romance gets thrown in. Hey, I always love
when romance makes an appearance.
