Really enjoyed this dystoian sequel. A number of people complained how the love interest in the first book didn't end up how they thought they should in the second book. But these people are forgetting...it's the end of the world with zombies overtaking it, so things don't always turn out fair. That's how the story goes and, luckily for my interests in good storytelling, the author didn't give in to what she thought would sell her audience, but what she thought was important to the story. So thank you Ms Hocking for staying true to the story, and not pandering to the audience!
Although, I do have to agree that it was pushing reality a bit that the lass could stitch herself back together after being left to die strapped down on the operating table. However, I am good at skipping reality a bit if it helps the story along, so don't get too caught up in whether any of us could do it. Just think about those women who gained superhuman strength to lift cars off their children when in accidents, and think that anything's possible!

I agree with the other reviewers, the first book was really good and this was a bit of a letdown at the beginning and end. It did seem pretty unrealistic how she had survived 6 months of surgeries and in the middle of having her stomach slit open she manages to flip the table, stitch herself up and escape. But after that it was really good, I always enjoy the events that happen on the way that show it's not just the zombies they have to watch out for! By the end, it's nice to see Remy learning to embrace her life and enjoy the good things, though I wish there had been a bit more with Laslo, like why did he leave her in quarantine? And what happened to him at the end? I did like how this book ended but it did feel a little incomplete, but maybe that's just because the books started with a bang and kept running and at the end they were suddenly at a crawl. I definitely enjoyed these books, they are probably my favourite Amanda Hocking books yet.

A little flat after the brilliant first book. Disappointed, but readable.

An easy read but I was disappointed at the end so I hope there is another book to finish of the story ... Was left bit in the air

I really did not like the start of this book ... I can't see how she is still alive after six months of that treatment. The rest of the book was pretty much a continuation of the first, so that part was enjoyable, but the ending was open-ended so I am hoping for a third book to answer some of the loose-ends that were left hanging ...

This book was a bit of a let-down after the first. So many questions were left unanswered. It was good overall, but I was disapointed.
