"I didn't realize how much I would miss grocery shopping until it was gone."

Life was pretty good. The love of Alice's life had proposed, they were proud new homeowners, and she'd just landed a great promotion at work. Things were going to plan.

Well, they were, until the Red Death struck.

Billions dead in a matter of weeks. The survivors are few and far between. No one is safe. Life will never be the same again.

This book wasn’t what I thought it would be. It’s very slow paced. The characters, story, and narrator were okay though. The ending alluded to a possible book 2 but unfortunately this book didn’t setup enough interest or action that makes me anticipate another book.

Okay to pass the time

This was not what I was expecting at all from a post-apocalyptic book. It was so slow and not much actually happened. The ending was leading to a more interesting book two, but it'll probably be more of the same, so I'll skip it.

Just...ok

Really good.

I loved this book. I really did. I think the publishers description/Summery is accurate. I like that it is in Australia as most of the apococolypse books I have found are based in USA, or Britain. I really loved the concept and really everything about it. Listened to it within two days. Just couldn't stop. I wish there was a second book.

Couldn't put it down

I wish I could find another book like this. This was so good. I enjoyed this so much. The way the flu was portrayed was so well done.

Great Plot

I really enjoyed the story line. The difference in people who prep, who are preppers and those who are neither and the reaction and responses as a result. I am really impressed by the fact that this was released when COVID was 1st announced, therefore written way previously.

COVID before it was announced

This is an interesting book with not a lot of action or tension. Only one scene of potential violence. It feels very real, but I also got a little bored and just as it seems they might add some strife and tension to the story, it ends. Apparently this is to be one of a series, but I always hate books that end on a cliffhanger and you have to wait months or longer to read the next chapter.

Not a lot hapens

being left in a cliffhanger with no book 2 is quite frustrating. this book is more realistic than most I've read, especially the survival part.
not everyone who survives has what it takes, thus this book being so good. frustrating at the main ccharacters lack of awareness or lack of ruthlessness, but it makes it a h
good listen.
I am mad at the ending though.

book 2?

I was very annoyed by the characters complete ignorance! They don’t mask up and they don’t social distance, They don’t realize they can syphon gas. They are just so unprepared and dense.

The Main Character is Annoying
