The world as we know it has ended. The zombies have taken over and are on the hunt. A few survivors take refuge in a fortress in a Midwestern mountain range. Aleksy Komarov is 'the king' and Sheri is his prisoner. She was infected but has not been turned (into a zombie). Yet. No one trusts her. She is only freed occasionally so she can find more books. Why? She is Aleksy's storyteller. Sheri endures endless abuse so that she can protect her younger sister, Daniella. Is there any happiness and love in a world gone mad? Ruth Browne has written a dark tale of the end of the world. Aleksy and Sheri are survivors who have hardened their hearts so they can function in this new deadly world. The story is well written. The author conveys the sense of despair and desperation that surrounds the characters. This book can be read in one sitting. Just be aware that this is not a typical romance.
