About this listen

In the zombie apocalypse, your worst enemy may be yourself.

Rose Winter has enough problems. With a marriage going down the tubes and a dreaded anniversary party on the horizon, the last thing she needs is the zombie apocalypse. She wanted to get drunk and sing karaoke, not murder her undead neighbors. It’s clear the party’s over, however, now Rose has more problems - a missing husband, an overbearing houseguest, and keeping her family alive.

Tom Jensen has inflexible rules. Rule number one? Don’t deviate from the plan. But when his life is overturned in the space of minutes, his plans die along with everything else. The world is finished, the future is uncertain, and survival means living in the last place he’d planned to be. Maybe his rules weren’t meant to be broken, but if he can’t change his tune, he risks losing the one thing he has left - his daughter.

Craig Matthews has a mission: get to Oregon. Doable, maybe, if he could bring himself to leave his apartment. With his food and water near gone and death closer than ever, a chance encounter may lead to finding his friends - if he can first find his courage.

Unfortunately, the new world doesn’t always mean leaving old problems behind, and as the West Coast succumbs to the virus, the survivors face more than the undead - they face themselves. But in an existence where fences offer dubious safety and zombies certain danger, people may save you in more ways than one.

Outstanding writing.

I loved this book, I just finished relistening for the fifth time. A great performance by all and solid, excellent story telling. This book transcends genre and tells a wonderful story with love, honesty. betrayal, and humor. I don't care if you don't like Zombies, this story is about real people and real emotions.

Another Great One

Sarah Lyons Fleming has once again kept me entertained on my way to work. I loved her other series and can’t wait to get the full story in this one. She isn’t afraid to tackle the hard issues. There may be zombies but there are still human problems that have to be faced and she does a great job of getting the emotional impact on the readers. I love how she is descriptive about the world and the people without going into so much detail that you get bored. Great job Sarah!! Can’t wait for the next one.

Can't wait for the next book!

I really enjoyed this book! Hoping and assuming the Cascade series will eventually tie into The City series and Until the End of the World Series.
