I need a book two honestly, this was so good!  This book had me stressed… highly recommend it!  

Seriously, this book had all the found family vibes in a zombie apocalypse-like world.  It was such a cool plot, bringing in the supernatural elements.  And the characters were all written so well and had great depth.  I loved them all so much but Lewis and Sadie were probably my two favorites.  All their point of views worked well to tell the story.

The hurt/comfort trope has a big role to play in this book with the hurt being the key word.  There was obviously a bit of character death and it was as you would guess very sad.  Two deaths in particular that made me cry.  I had such a good time reading this book though.  It had lighthearted moments too and a cute slow burn romance.  Gyeong being adopted into the group as soon as Finn found her was sweet, their group in general was really wholesome with how much they cared for one another.

If you like The Walking Dead vibes but with queer characters, and more of a supernatural twist then I think you’d enjoy this book.
