Cotton Crossing was a dead end, but not for Ginny Mills. She's just marking time, getting experience in the county library system, before moving back to a decent urban environment. Then the phones stop working.

Lee Quartine knows there's no way the pretty girl at the library will even look at him. Especially since he can't open his mouth. He knows he's a hick, but when the power starts going out and the woods are full of strange creatures, it's good to have someone around who can build a fire. And kill.

Ginny, Lee, and their small band of survivors can't stay put, and moving is dangerous. The infected are shambling in the hills and the concrete canyons of cities.

It's gonna be a long trip...

Let me start by saying that I really enjoyed the narration. She has such a soothing voice and the tone makes the scary parts even scarier. I overall enjoyed listening to her read this story, thank you.
As for the story itself, it was okay. Zombie/ apocalyptic type books have been a guilty pleasure of mine for years and this one was worthwhile reading. It starts very slow, with lots and lots of character development, which is great, but I read these books to get a scare, and it took hours before I even got to anything at all about zombies, but once you get there, things got more interesting.
I appreciated the quality of the writing, it was solid, but again, the reader can get lost in the character development. Maybe if more info was provided about how and why these people are infected, it would make the 'zombie' aspect of the story better. I found this book is much better than the bang, bang shoot em up kind of zombie book, those bore me to tears now!
I like the way you describe a scene, your phrasing and word choice help to bring the reader into the story. Overall, I just want more of a scare. The gore is okay, I don't need a ton, but I want more character/zombie interaction. I like the way you lead up to these interactions, you've got me hanging onto the edge of my seat, which is great, and thank you!
I like your writing style too, and I think that you give the reader a good scare, I just want more (I know, I said this a lot, but its true). I'd also like to see more of the science that's involved with this genre. More development on how the virus came about, not just how the virus showed up within the individual characters.
Overall, good book. I would like to see more stories like this one from you. Thank you!

Overall a good read, but a VERY slow start

I enjoyed the book. The story was an entertaining one and I loved the characters. The narrator was good with a pleasant voice and she did southern accents nicely. I would have enjoyed it all more without the profanity.

It was worth the credit

This is well written and well performed. I really appreciated that the main character was just normal and didn’t turn into a super soldier when crap hit the fan—well, not yet. She’s a librarian and easy to like, and the author gave her a super soldier to help her. And he’s madly in love with her. I’m downloading book two now.

I want the next one… if I have to do the audio myself!!

Hmmm not a bad idea😉

I like the talent though… maybe she will let me do Lee’s voice though…

Pro , kinda picky

Lee is borderline creepy! I mean you got monsters and anything Jenny does distracts him. I'm surprised he's not dead already. Jenny is just stupid not at all a strong mc. I sure hope she gets some common sense. smh. Hopefully she gets better as the series goes.

yikes!

Ginny is always looking at the negative and complaining. She is always comparing herself. I am only a few chapters in but I almost want to quit because of Ginny’s attitude. It’s far too much too soon. I keep yelling at her to get over it omg….

Ginny is too pessimistic

I really wanted a good zombie story which why I persisted despite immense annoyance. I found the woman protagonist too obtuse at times to be considered educated. It was also increasingly unbelievable to hear the male wax on about how beautiful and angelic the female character is. Is this really supposedly set in the 21st century?

Despite these things, I’m willing to give it one more try because I do appreciate the reluctant hero with war experience.

Challenging
