The Last Survivors (The Last Survivors #1) by T.W. Piperbrook

Alright, so this wasn't the zombie story I was expecting.

For the gamers among you, the "zombies" are like the fungal zombies from The Last of Us.

The book takes place well after the initial chaos of the apocalypse to where survivors are already safely inside walled cities. The story mostly revolves around the people involved rather than the zombies themselves. There's little of "Survival" or the fear of being eaten so if that's what you're looking for, you won't find it here.

That being said, I think this was an actually decent book as far as things go. At first I was completely uninterested in the lives of the people involved, but I found myself continuing to read anyway just to find out "What happens next?" You get the feeling that somethings wrong with the society, that things aren't all that they seem and that is what kept me reading.

I look forward to the next book! 

Until the End of the World by Sarah Lyons Fleming

I will be honest; I finished this book actually crying. I went through all of the characters' emotions with them, and I was very happy at the end of the book.

This story starts out with the main character, Cassie, in New York City. She has had a recent traumatic life experience, and she's barely scraping by. On one Friday, everything changes. A virus is spreading rapidly throughout the world, and it kills 100% of the people whom it infects. Unfortunately, it also brings them back to life... as zombies. The rest of the story is about Cassie and her friends trying to survive the end of the known world.

The story started out and finished strong. The characters all have well-developed back stories, and they are believable. I strongly recommend reading this book, unless you have something important to do, because you won't put it down.
