Well, this is definitely a different take on the heroine of the ZA (Zombie Apocalypse). Vivian Thomas is a stripper, 20 years old with a four year oldWell, this is definitely a different take on the heroine of the ZA (Zombie Apocalypse). Vivian Thomas is a stripper, 20 years old with a four year old daughter she had when she was 16 (basic math) and gave up for adoption to a couple who live in California. So with the ZA upon them fast, she decides she must see her daughter and rescue her if need be. So the story is set and Vivian begins the trip. She encounters a couple of brothers, of the hillbilly kind, one very crude and mean, the other not so much.
This is my favorite genre and I have read so many ZA books that you would think I have heard it all. And they do proceed on certain necessary paths, like the need for food and weapons exceed everything but keeping away from the zombies. You need the weapons to get the food and stay free from zombies. Now if you add some romance and some interesting characters you have a story and this one has some different characters, not the usual ones you can have some sympathy for, but the not so perfect people that you develop some sympathy for.
SPOILER ALERT: I was sad to see Vivian so unable to relate to her daughter but her attempt felt real. She does feel very real and I grew to like her.
If you like books on the ZA this is a good one. I am already reading Shattered World, the second one in the series....more
