Synopsis

When a deadly virus sweeps the country, Vivian Thomas sets out for California in hopes of seeing the daughter she gave up for adoption. Then her car breaks down and she’s faced with a choice. Give up, or accept a ride from redneck brothers, Angus and Axl, but she's prepared to do whatever it takes to reach her daughter.

The virus is spreading, and by the time the group makes it to California, most of the population has been wiped out. When the dead start coming back, Vivian has to figure out how to be a mother under the most frightening circumstances, cope with Angus’s aggressive mood swings, and sort out her growing attraction to his brooding younger brother, Axl.

While searching for a safe place to go, they pick up a pompous billionaire who may be the answer to all their problems. Trusting him means going into the middle of the Mojave Desert and possibly risking their lives, but with the streets overrun and nowhere else to turn, it seems he might be their only chance for survival...

4.25 The beginning of the end Stars I love Zombie books. I love all forms of Zombie books, the ones with romance, the ones without romance, the ones with mega gorge and the ones with messed up characters. It’s very rare to find a good one that can hold your interest and not read as typical. I’m so del......more

A very good and quick read. Now, I'll level with you this book has a lot of common tropes to the genre, it evokes 2004 Dawn of the Dead a lot and I'm not surprised to hear that the author is a fan of The Walking Dead. That being said, it was well balanced between character exposition and action and......more
