Rating: 4 out of 5

Background: Wisteria is living on a island with her mom, brother, and a community of scientists and soldiers, attempting to survive the Nero disease. The Nero disease hit and made everyone biters, flesh eaters, and Wisteria is just a teenage girl trying to live a semi-normal life. One day she is attacked by too many biters while out of the compound, and she awakens in a strange home with very beautiful teenage boys taking care of her. These are a strange group and she only wants to get home, but there is something about these different people that intrigues her.Review: I have been on a zombie book kick apparently... which works well because it is October and Halloween is right around the corner. Wisteria was a great read, it had some of the things that I love about zombie books and movies, but also had some good twists. So my likes-- Wisteria is a strong female who can use a weapon and hold her own, but she is also the outcast and she is bullied non-stop throughout the book, and I think that made me relate to her more than just having a strong girl lead. The Nero premise was very cool and creepy, the community if afraid of being attacked and torn apart by flesh eaters, but it also had a very Resident Evil feel, always someone fighting their way through. There were some wonderfully written creepy survivor parts. Then there was the main story- line of Wisteria and Bach (one of the strange boys), this was by far the most interesting part, Bach and his companions are nor from Terra (Earth) they are just here to watch it die, and Wisteria and he have met before but neither of them can figure out when or where. This is what kept me reading,I needed to find out.Some dislikes- very typical zombie, dystopia-- ahh there are zombies, we have to survive! I get it, there are flesh eaters and you are striving to live...sadly this has been done...a lot. So if it had not been for the weird alien boys I would not have read to the end.So if you have a thing for zombie books, you should obviously go get this one same if you like green-eyed boys that aren't from Earth.
