Personal Apocalypse: A World Without End novel

Josiah grew up in a dying world. The Holdout survived, but when you are the son of Sylvia Cragen, you give up delusions early. He knew that they would die bloody--it wasn't a matter of if. Only when.
Parker shouldn't be alive. He should have died long before scouts from the Last Holdout rescued him. And he knows better than to believe that sailing away from the safety of the Holdout is a good idea.
Now, without the Holdout to protect them, all of his nightmares are coming true. Josiah is just crazy enough to believe that a fresh start is a good thing. But Parker has lived as prey, hunted by zombies and survivors before--and he knows that no one really survives. In the wild, zombie claimed world outside the walls of safety, there is only the dead walking.

EXCERPT:

Nightfall comes quickly and settles over the hotel with a shuddering silence that chills me. Finn and Ren are back, and he’s sure that no one else is lurking nearby. But we don’t really know that. Our houseguest is watching with that faint, damning smile that tells me we’re missing something. I just wish I could figure out what the f*ck it is.
As night falls, she comes alert, still and stiff in her chains, with a bright-eyed stare as she looks out the window, into the night time.
That’s when the night comes to life.
I’m used to the sounds of the Holdout---the crash of the waves, and the low murmur of life, the hiss of snakes and splash of gators in the swamps that border our tiny home. The lazy hum of bugs in the air so thick it’s like a physical thing.
And I’m even used to the noise of our boat. Finn’s low rumble and Ren’s sharp laugh and sarcastic humor. Parker’s quiet voice that is the backbone for all of the important things in my life. The sound of the water against the hull, and the creak of the boards and the lines, the rattle of rigs and weapons and the whistle of the wind as we slept.
But nothing. Nothing. Could prepare me for the wildness of Africa at night.

My review

This author writes so many types of fun books and she never disappoints!! When the world as we know it ends, Josiah and Parker, who are very different and yet fighting for the same thing- survival and to live. Jo- I nick name characters a lot- his upbringing and back ground mask him feel insecure and always trying to prove something. Parker is more of your wilder survivalist. Seriously- if I were there I'd want him on my side though he's rough around the edges. And even with their differences they become friends. You get both POVs and it made for such an interesting read because of that. And yes we have zombie but let me tell you- it's not like any you've ever read. Mini won't tell you and spoil it but I sure thought it was cool.

I like this author's writing style and though a good part of the book is explanations and word building, you have to do this. If you end the world, there's gotta be some changes. I ended up liking both guys for different reasons. I am totally going to recommend this to zombie fans but I'm also going to recommend to to post apocalyptic fans as well. This one is too cool and creative not too!! Well done! It's been a while since I've enjoyed a zombie tale! 5 PAWS!!
