A Review from Michele Wesselman - "Sucked me right back in to the story and wouldn't let me go! I love post-apocalyptic stories and this has been one of my favorites. Not too many have a woman as the main character and Riley is everywoman,so very easy to identify with. I will be wondering about her fate till the next book. It will be tortuous waiting for it!" She survived Earth's worst global pandemic. In the city she learned how to cope with the roaming dead. Tucked away in the mountains she struck down the living who tried to kill her. Now Riley fights a new battle - the one within herself. Wracked with survivor's guilt and an almost crazed sense of duty that takes her out of the solitude of the Southern California mountains and into the heart of Orange County, she makes a series of choices that can lead to the destruction of everything she's managed to save. In the end, will it all be worth it? What will be lost? What will be found? And which questions will be left unanswered?
