Kennedy is a sweet, generous young woman facing the end of her marriage to a crummy husband.  Her main concern is for her two step-daughters, whom she loves dearly.  Unfortunately, between her husband's ex being (wrongly) fixated on Kennedy as the thing tearing their family apart and her husband's disinterest in her, the marriage is doomed.  We meet Kennedy eight months after the vampire apocalypse occurs. With her husband and the girls out of state when it started, Kennedy is left in a holding pattern waiting for their return while trying to survive.  It is an interesting, teen-appropriate read.  Usually, apocalyptic stories center around confident, supremely capable people that were seemingly just waiting for the opportunity to lawlessly kick butt. Kennedy does not fit that profile at all.  It was fun to see this situation from the perspective of a self-effacing, not-a-mean-bone-in-her body sort of person. She's a very sympathetic character I found myself caring for and worrying about.  I want to read part two!
