One family fights for each other and their home. Excellent characters. Well told story line and a lot of scary moments. I really enjoyed this book." - Crystal R. ★★★★★Yes, me! "Usually I do a lot of knitting while videos are going to keep me awake enough to keep on with knitting. Once I started this novel, knitting took a lower priority so I could finish this novel. Allowing to be so hyper focused on reading anything was a rarity for me but it was worthwhile. A great look at a zombie-less apocalyptic survival for a good change." - Mary D ★★★★★ less
