That my cat chose the "Gathering Of Waters" volume to be the one she knocked ito the toilet is probably not some sort of sign. Some things are just coincidence.

Pieces are starting to fall into place about what is actually happening. Kind of. And, as usual with these kinds of stories, the "monsters" are scary, but the humans are starting to cause more problems than the revivers.

This one was all over the place, but I will likely continue the story...

Everything changed when the dead rose. And everybody changed again when one of them put a bomb in her chest and blew up the mayor.

Reread 2018. Kept original rating.
I'm not sure if it's just because I'm tired, or because the hubby kept talking to me as I was reading, or because the dog was all over the place, but this album felt kind of messy to me.
There were some really interesting things going on. I love the whole Mill thing and the evolution in Em is really interesting. I also like the Farm—story, but something in this album just feel a little messy.
Or it may just be that I get annoyed at all the crazies.

Maybe it's just been awhile since I read the last one, but I felt like I was missing some essential pieces in this one. It was confusing.
