Goodreads...
Since childhood, Nila Carter is made to spend every weekend at the family cabin. In her teenage years she believes it to be a prison, as an adult it becomes her sanctuary and means to survive.
When a mysterious outbreak occurs in India, Nila’s brother, Bobby, a virologist with the CDC, places the family on a precautionary alert to be ready to bug out. Unlike anything he’s ever seen, the rabies like virus is not just deadly, it causes extreme violent behavior in those infected. Following her brother’s advice, Nila begins to stockpile.
After months of preparing, just as it seems the virus is over, everything implodes and Bobby informs his family to leave the city.
With her family, Nila heads to the mountains and to her father’s isolated land. There she is eventually joined by friends and strangers, all hoping to safely stay clear of the virus that grips the world.
The plan is to wait until the virus burns out. While there, the group forms a tight bond, feeling secure that they will beat the extinction event and in due course return home. As time moves on, Nila quickly learns there are things they can not run from and a virus is one of them. Despite how prepared they are, how secure the land, each day brings a new threat and a painful reality that not only is returning home a pipe dream, the likelihood of all of them surviving, increasingly grows slim.
My quick take...
My review is based off both books in the series...
I flew through this 2 book series. The story was freaking fantastic and the characters were amazing. I go through phases where I need a good zombie story and this read was exactly what I needed. Even more so. Druga is a master creator of the undead and the world she envisioned was absolutely perfect. These were my first two books by the author and will definitely not be the last. I have found another new favorite zombie author to quench my zombie fix. 5 Stars!!
