It was a little gory to me, but it was a good book. If it was a movie I wouldn't watch it though, because I can handle gory books, and not gory movies.

The is essentially the kick-off to a zombie apocalypse. Based at a boarding school, the majority of victims are children. Usually, where children are placed in situations of threat, their safety is pretty much guaranteed. Even when something really, really terminally bad has happened, there's often something that negates it all at the last second. This is not the case here. Kids die, en masse. For the majority of the book I had that expectant feeling that, somehow, a cure is found and all is made well again. As fewer and fewer pages remained, I was looking for that last-minute salvation. Nope. They're dead.
I found the main characters okay, there was some attempt at the dreaded love-triangle which thankfully dissipated when it all went down. The little amount of back-story and inter-character antagonisms made them a little less two-dimensional than the other kids that were just there to die, but not by much. The nano-virus looks to be pretty much the Zomborgs from Infinity Wars' the Sleepers Of Avarrach deck. Go check it out, it's free to play on Steam. They made a decent monster.
My main, albeit personal, gripe was that this story just ended. I know not every story has to be wrapped up in a neat little bow and they all lived happily ever after but this ending is particularly open-ended. I even looked to see what the sequel's called - and there's no sequel. Okay, I expect it would have been a post-apocalyptic/Walking Dead/Survivors type tale, but c'mon, Zomborgs!

A great story and a nice break away from the more traditional style of zombie book. I loved it consistently throughout and could barely put it down.
