I loved the amount of love and care this had for the Bronx. All the characters were super likable and I enjoyed seeing their relationships with each other.

A brilliantly suspenseful and creepy read full of heart, thrills and action from start to finish.
With a gentle sapphic childhood-friends-to-lovers romance, zombies and explorations of gentrification, racism, racial profiling, collective trauma, this was a multilayered, zombie hunting action/horror and I had so much fun with it. I can't wait to see what's next from Vincent Tirado because I'm already hooked on their stories.
Highly recommend the audiobook also!

3.5 stars. I wanted more world building of the Echo game, and the writing was a little simplistic in some places. It felt like explanation of characters' actions & plot points were missing in some places, too. I did like that it's creepy without falling into complete horror (which I cannot handle reading), and I loved the historical details & the romance.
