About this listen
Leisel and Evelyn lost everything. Husbands. Families. Friends. Lives that made sense. All they had left was each other and a friendship that could withstand anything...even an apocalypse. Until one fateful night when the marginal safety they'd come to rely on comes to a vicious and brutal end, and they find themselves face to face with a much altered, much crueler life.
Traveling across a broken and infection-ridden country, they find everything comes at a price - especially safety, the cost of which could very well strip them of the one thing they've tried so hard to cling to: their humanity. Yet along with all the trials they're forced to endure, there's also hope in the form of love. But in such a savage world, is there room for love? In a place of nightmares made reality, where the living should be feared far more than the dead, an unbreakable friendship and a love among all odds can mean the difference between life and death.

Jane Finch wishes her problems ended with a bad commute and no coffee. But when she and her beloved Great Dane, Schrodinger, emerge from a locked room they discover a city changed for the undead. Zombies are everywhere. Some are endlessly cycling through their last actions, others have turned feral—and hungry. Jane and Schroddie's best chance for survival? Reaching her parents' bunker on the city's north shore. Not an easy commute on foot—when surrounded by zombies. Dodging stray bullets and feral zombies is one thing. But soon Jane realizes one of the zombies is following her.

Macon Davis. My best friend’s brother. My tormentor. My least favorite person. Pothead. Delinquent. A careless, directionless loser. That’s what I used to believe, but I didn’t really know him. And when I finally saw him, it was the best and worst thing to ever happen to me. We burned hot and fast. Passion. Anger. Love. Pain. We were reckless. Naive. We were doomed from the start. When I finally saw Macon Davis for who he was, we both went down in the flames.

Kept me coming back for more
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The character development in this book is amazing. They make mistakes and bad decisions at times, but to me that makes them more human. You are drawn in to this world, you fall in love with the good guys and you really, really hate the bad guys. You are kept on the edge of your seat all through the book as they try to find somewhere safe.
Evelyn is the ballsy, take charge, speaks what is on her mind half of the duo that will sacrifice anything to keep Leisel safe. Leisel is the timid mouse that has been broken over and over again, but she is much stronger than even she knows. Polar opposites, they are best friends that keep each other going during the zombie apocalypse.
It is very dark at times, but that makes it realistic. All this and you still get zombies!
CJ Bloom did a wonderful job with the narration. She has a pleasant voice, good pace, you can easily distinguish the characters and she put so much emotion into the parts that called for it.

Intense and heartbreaking
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I think this book would have been better if it didn’t seem like every chapter wasn’t filled with hysteria, self-blame, guilt, and/or the never ending CO-dependency of these two women. The first several chapters I kept reminding myself that it is an apocalypse book so people would be scared, shocked, and feel despair about their lives. I even told myself that it is possible that it is more realistic that people would be on a nonstop emotional rollercoaster if they had no security in their life. After all, I may be a little too clinical about what I would be like in an apocalypse after all the books and movies I have read. Truthfully though, even if all the screaming, crying, meltdowns, and internal thought monologues about how they were feeling (usually guilty, depressed, angry, ready to die for each other, mad at each other, love for each other), it was too hard to listen too. Maybe if I read it instead the voices would have been different and less panicked or hysterical. I don’t want to blame the narrators because they did a good job sounding like it was the end of the world. I just would have thought the women wouldn’t be so surprised or be so overwhelmed all the time, 4 years into an apocalypse. Yes, they spent most of their time behind protective walls, but there wasn’t any real humanity there, so why the surprise when it was worse outside the walls. Why were they on such a moral high horse with other survivors? The fact that they screamed whenever they had any fear in a zombie apocalypse, knowing that they would attract more trouble seems like they don’t have a clue how to survive. The fact that they never scout out towns prior to strolling down the middle of the street...I could go on but will leave it with they would have been killed off in 1 episode if they were in The Walking Dead. I listened all the way though because I kept thinking they would pull through stronger and reach a point when them surviving would bring them inner strength, that the emotional craziness would be something left behind. Will not spoil the ending but I felt it didn’t fit in with the story. Almost like it was rushed to be done.
Not sure how I kept going...but I did.

I'm not even sure if I liked it or not. But you gave it 4 stars, you say... This is true. The fact is, I couldn't put it down. I had such strong emotional reactions to the events and characters that it stayed with me for days. I was just so angry and disgusted with humanity and the outcome that I couldn't give it less than 4 stars.
Without giving too much away, I will say that I hope to never live in a world like this. This is not a happy feel good book that leaves a smile on your face after finishing it. It's depressing. In fact, the thought that crossed my mind the most was "What. The. %$#@. is wrong with people!"
There is another book in this series that focuses on one of the secondary characters from this one. I hated that guy. Why does he get his own book?? Will I read it? Heck no! I mean, yeah probably.

It seem like nothing was ever finished. I found their friendship and compassion for each weird. It seem like they should've been in love and had a physical relationship with each other other than men just very strange relationship. Although they did truly loved their deceased husbands and current boyfriends. It would've been a better book if they started from the beginning when they were with their husbands and when the virus started and how their husbands got sick and died then ended up at where the book started.. Sorry I found the book very depressing but this is my review.
Hmmmm !
