Publisher's summary

As a deadly virus decimates the world’s population, survivors struggle to find each other. After all, nobody wants to be alone at the end of the world.

Thirteen-year-old Ethan should be practicing his skateboard moves, not watching his family members die, one by one. He knows he could become a victim of the evil infection at any minute. Scared and alone, he fills his backpack and goes in search of other survivors, hoping he lives long enough to find someone. Anyone.

When Cassie sees the bodies of neighbors and strangers littering what had been pristine front lawns, she realizes her intense focus on business and family may have saved their lives. How does a single mom and her two kids survive an apocalypse alone?

Noah emerges from his two-week fishing trip in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, shocked to learn that a devastating pandemic has swept the world. Should he venture into the fray to find other survivors or retreat into the woods and isolate himself as long as he can?

When their paths converge, they face a new struggle - learning to trust total strangers as if their very survival depends on it...because it does. Sympatico Syndrome is intent on sparing no one.

I could not put it down!

The characters are so much like your neighbors next door or your friends in real life... so authentic and real. I love how the story moves between three primary characters and the people closest to them... No Spoilers here but I really loved Ethan and his Dog... I hope Mrs. McDonald continues this journey and produces more books in this series... It's a wonderful story and very little if any vulgar language - but it was so well written and told. I loved the Narrator's calm but truly believable story telling... the characters came to life. I do highly recommend this title - it's a wonderful Post-Apocalyptic tale - and very believable in this day and age.

Great start

I enjoyed this book. I am glad the characters were able to come together before the real trouble starts . The characters are enjoyable and the personalities are realistic. The narration was great. Now let’s get to the real challenges they will face!

An ok read

You can tell this is a new author as there are some inconsistencies, as a previous review mentioned. For example, stating a mother has twins but then later in the story it’s two children of separate age. And it’s a slow non action tale. Just a nice read, kinda runs on at times, but I’ll probably get the next, if there is a next .
