As The World Dies Series - Rhiannon Frater

The First Days (As The World Dies Book 1)

One Sentence Summary:
Zombies have taken over the world, Katie and Jenni team up to survive.

Review:
This fast paced adventure is an "up till 2 am to finish it" type of book. The writing is very good (it gets better as you continue reading), Frater's specialty is character development and her characters are great! You genuinely care for the characters and worry about them as the story progresses, each new character is introduced in such a way that you feel immediately bonded with them (as I imagine you would in an end of the world situation). Frater is going to be an author to watch and I can not wait to finish the series, she isn't afraid to shine a light upon the unthinkable choices the end of the world will bring about. I recommend it for everyone who isn't prone to nightmares and isn't homophobic.

8/10

Memorable Quotes:

“Tiny fingers. So small. So very, very small. The fingers pressed under the front door of her home were so very small. She couldn’t stop staring at those baby fingers straining frantically to reach her as she stood shivering on the porch.”

"Katie let the curtain fall back into place. Standing before the window, she felt herself let go of the old world and embrace the new. She would survive this. She would go on. That was all there was to it. She wouldn't give up without a fight. She would do whatever it took to survive."

"Well," Jenni said with a wry smile, "at least we live in Texas, where people actually own guns and hunt."

"She'd been questioning Jenni's sanity for a while now, but then again, they were all slightly insane now, weren't they?"
