Rating: 5 out of 5

The main characters of this book 1 of this novel series have little time to think about their next move on the escape from Savannah Georgia. Jeremy, Ben, Tori, Lexx hook up by happenstance and end up being a close group through some tense zombie situations. Their safe havens have to be the best choices all the time. Unfortunately, while trying to find an escape route to take them to Ben's parents, they meet different groups of living humans who turn out to be less trusting. Jeremy has been trying to rely on his one crutch to lean on, and it's his mother's influence. After that, he had a similar one closely related with a priest, who helped him along an earlier time when he first escaped from his home from the zombies. In a seemingly God free apocalypse, Jeremy has to make moral convictions on the fly, and he has to figure out how much caring while trying to stay alive. His worse enemy might be himself, if he doesn't make a stand on his own principles. The first book leaves some hope, and I hope the author understands, that might be all those who are truly alive can expect when the numbers increase on the wrong side of the equation. I welcome more of the story-line, and I am curious where Josh Vasquez is going to take it. The story flowed briskly, and was paced to read in a short time. I think it could only get better with a very good jump start on a Southern Zombie Apocalypse. I hope Josh can keep the balls juggling in the air, so the tension will continue to hold any reader's interest in his next installment. He laid excellent groundwork so far, and sequels or next continuations are plenty difficult with so much done in this genre. I leave that challenge to him to take and run with it.
