The cover looks very creepy don't you think? Not in a bad way since it totally suits the book, but still very creepy. I am not sure how I thought it would be okay to read this book especially since it sounded like there would be a lot of 'flesh-eaters' in it. The idea is so revolting and scary for me actually, so I am impressed I made it through the synopsis and onto the book.Wisteria lives in a world infested with Fleshers. They spread their disease and work on turning the human race into extinction. Wisteria hates being afraid so she decides to work as a Tracker, finding said Fleshers and exterminating them if need be, all to protect their island where they finally found a haven, a place to live in peace for the most part. Things get a bit strange when on a mission she disobeys one of the other trackers and finds herself waking up in a very strange place, with people calling her  Terran and she witnesses such odd behaviors she does not understand. Her life, as usual turns to a chase, but will she survive this time?I have absolutely no idea why I agreed to be a part of this tour. I don't mean it to sound bad, at all actually. This book was absolutely brilliant, but also, it's not a genre I'd consider myself comfortable with. You see, I am comfortable with all sorts of monsters, dinosaurs, crocodiles, snakes, werewolves, and even vampires. What I am not the slightest bit comfortable with, are zombies. Ever since I've watched Resident Evil as a kid, I've been terrified of them, so the fact that I've made it through this entire book is a miracle in itself. That, and a testament to how great it really was.I can honestly say this book was not what I thought it would be, it was so amazing and Bisi's writing was very entrancing. No matter how much I didn't want to read on and just stop all together, I didn't because even though there were zombies, the story was too good to be cut short. So I just kept on reading till the end. I enjoyed the characters, though I hate that there were no consequences to Hailey, Steven, Yvette and Karen. I seriously just want them to be punished severely some way, I wouldn't mind if they get bitten by a Biter  and die. Other than that, I love how Bisi supplied us with this whole new world, with The Family, and Red Phoenix, and whole vocabulary to go with such a great read! I cannot wait to read more books in this series!Rating: 4.5/5
