Series: Resurrection Book 1

    A virus has spread starting on the West coast and quickly crippling the world. Communications are down, governments are gone, and it is everyone for themselves against these zombie-like creatures. Once turned there is no redemption…or is there?

    Annie doesn’t remember anything from the last few months when she runs out of the woods covered in blood and is almost shot down. Will her memory comeback and if so will she keep her secret?

    Sometimes a girl is just in the mood for a good zombie book and this one more than handles it. I love the trope of zombie books where it is someone who turned then regained their senses. Bonus points if they have memories while they were zombies. We have checked all the boxes and I loved it. 

    We follow Annie as she meets up with the crew from the supermarket, are overthrown, and as they make their way to a place that seems too good to be true. You will love and hate most of the characters in the book at one point in time or another. 

    While the book doesn’t end on a cliff-hanger it does end at a point that makes it very obvious that there is still so much left for the group. I hope for good things and will likely read on in the series at some point. Great fall read.
