Review: Excellent post-apocalyptic thriller with romance, fantasy and (my favorite) zombies!
Rating: 5 out of 5

Part of the reason that I loved this book is that it is not your typical zombie story.  There are zombies in spades- well written, creepy zombies - but the real story is about post-apocalyptic survival and that is why it's such a compelling and realistic story.  It feels creepily similar to what would happen if the world was actually nuked - which honestly draws you into the story that much more.  The realities of radiation poisoning are really well-written and humanize the characters (especially when the children succumb - you really feel it just like the rest of the adults in Eden).  I also loved the romance (no spoilers, but it is the last thing you would expect!) and the tips from the "Guardian Angel".  If you like shows like Jericho or The Walking Dead or the Walking Dead books, you will love "Desert Angels".
