Publisher's Summary

From the universe of the Until the End of the World series. (Note: The City Series can be heard before or after the Until the End of the World series)

Sylvie Rossi has the loner thing down pat, with the exception of her best friend, Grace. But when the two are trapped in a hospital during the last gasp of a dying city, alone time is no longer an option. A nurse's offer of sanctuary promises Sylvie the supplies she needs to survive the zombies - it's the coexisting with people that might do her in.

Eric Forrest will do whatever it takes to get into the dead city for his sister, including ending up dead himself. He's used to taking risks, but with every mile he travels death looks likelier and likelier, and finding his sister may be his only prospect for survival - if he can make it home.

Sylvie doesn't need more than food, water, and shelter. Eric wants only to find his sister. But sometimes what we think we need isn't what we need at all, and what we find is more than we expected.

Worth the credit

Spend the credit, it’s worth it! Girls will be girls with their insecurities no matter if it’s a zombie apocalypse. Friends will appear and help you through your inner turmoil.

Must listen! You WILL NOT be disappointed!!!

I have a new favourite author! I am halfway through my second series by Sarah Lynns Fleming and I cannot get enough! Her character development is unmatchable, you literally feel like each character is a friend or enemy that comes to life in your mind! I had started to feel like all apocalypse books were too much alike until I discovered these listens. Narrator does an excellent job as well. If you are looking for a good mix of scares, laughs, and tears then you need to give this author a listen, you will not regret it!

Thoroughly entertaining

Having read and enjoyed the ‘Until the end of the world’ series I thought this would be a good bet. I was right. You won’t find earth shattering revelations or philosophy but you will ding evolving characters, good description and a decent (if familiar) apocalypse scenario. It’s well researched and well written. I suggest it without hesitation.

Good...

I absolutely ADORED the End of the World series especially with Julia Whelan reading. I found this novel, and the next in the series, just seemed to drag on. I loved how we got to hear Eric's story (and that he is alive!) but the narrator was soooo boring to listen to. Never was there excitement or fear in his voice. I would often find my mind wandering during his chapters. Sylvie's character was great and relatable!

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Laughed outloud too

TLDR- it's good, read it.

I love good End of the World books, give me a fictional virus or other apocalyptic scenarios, and I've read the best for the last 50 years. Generally I'm not a huge fan of zombie books, because it's usually just an excuse to blah blah blah about guns, fire power, and gratuitous violence, and while guns are important, they aren't THE story, and shouldn't be. So usually I skip the whole genre. I don't care that so and so uses a Sig sauer whatever (obviously as I can't spell it) as that's a boring way to write a story. Give us people, plot, interesting scenarios and make them even slightly likeable and I'll happily go 24/7 listening.
What I enjoy is the "survival" part of a book, how they get to where they do. Back that up with actual facts and show ways that people can and do survive, and I'll own your book forever. If it's good. This set's good.

I started this author's other series last week. Also finished it last week. Really enjoyed the human parts of the story- appreciate this author's use of humour, and without even skipping a beat I hopped into this series. The only part I was disappointed with was the zombies in the last series, they seemed almost too removed from the story, and the stakes were not so bad even though they were being pushed into a terrifying (to this Canadian who knows winter) Alaska almost without a fight. In that series as this one, the people, the humans are the important characters. I was sad to finish the trilogy.

I absolutely ADORE Sylvie, her youthful thoughts and inner monologues are MY once youthful thoughts and inner monologue, which is why I often just laugh. She's me. Snarky, funny, bitchy and repentant and fearless when needed. (I don't kill Zombies...)
Absolutely LOVE that we get Eric and sister Cassie's story in another series that can be listened to by itself. I'm thrilled by how much better a writer Sarah Lyon's Fleming is in just a few more books, and there were quite a few laugh out loud parts are in a serious book. It's good, I bought the entire series, and having enjoyed both narrators, I'd happily listen to them 24/7 for at least another week.

Suspenseful, scary, funny, human

I love that it's the other side of the other title Until the End of the World and that you actually don't need to have read one, to follow the other. They complement each other very well. Nicely written, easy listening. I couldn't stop listening and couldn't wait for the next session.
I am so getting the other books of the series!

Nothing new or exciting

This had pretty high reviews which made me purchase it, I was duped. It is virtually like the Walking Dead, but a lot more boring. Nothing unique or original. It's a repeated story I've read from other authors and watched on TV. I had hoped there would be SOMETHING different, some sort of creative writing.

If you have read other zombie dystopia, this will likely not be an exciting or interesting read.

Not sure why it's listed as "romance" either. Cause there is virtually no "romance". Relationships, sure. It doesn't belong in the romance genre I found it in.
