About this listen
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.

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.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Laughed outloud too
