"Well this wwas better than I thought it was going to be. I went in expecting zombies, then it was aliens and then *spoiler* human experiment gone wrong virus/monsters. Cray-cray. Not to bad, but the writing and characters were kinda plain. I hate Rice. And Amy's mom. And sometimes Amy. And yeah it was weird. I don't really like how about halfway through you start getting present and future present scenes mixed together. It made for an awfully confusing time but all worked out okay. I'm definately looking forward to the next book to see how it all works out. Please let it introduce a love triangle because I don't like Rice."

"100% would recommend this book. It’s a thriller, it had me on my toes the whole book. Not a single dull moment, if you want action, this is definitely the book to read. Also the ending is just completely unexpected but it’s by far the best book I’ve read recently."

"Very creative for young readers and wasn’t too hard to understand but also had great twists in the second book "

"<strong>fast paced, good characters, intriguing plot. great story.</strong><br/><br/>This is YA fiction which means that readers get right into the thick of the story, she may not be Cormac McCarthy in literation, but she his style. Do we get a book 2?"
