Apocalypse by Hayley Anderton, Laura Swift

4.0

I flew through Apocalypse in what felt like no time at all – it’s such a quick, addictive read! The writing style is super gripping, and I found myself hooked, even though it’s packed with some familiar zombie clichés. But honestly, in a super popular genre like this, where originality is tough to come by, I think it can be forgiven.

I loved Ginge, she’s such a badass – but it was Luke I probably related to the most. The scene where Ginge had to deal with her own mum after she turns (and does some pretty gruesome things to her dad) really stuck with me. 

The ending definitely felt like it’s setting up for more, which is a bit frustrating because there are so many unanswered questions, but also exciting because I can’t wait to see what happens next. All in all, it’s a brilliant, addictive read, and I’m keen for the sequel!
