What did I just read ? lol. So I feel like this book has no idea what it wants to be. We have post-apocalyptic, horror, sci-fi, romance, and everything in between. The second half of the book felt completely different from the first, and the entirety of the story is filled with scenes that are laughably wtf. 

I know it's the first book of a series, but we get absolutely no answers, so I'm left feeling unsatisfied. The end is something out of Resident Evil, which I would normally enjoy, but just felt completely ridiculous in this story. 

This book took a lot darker of a turn than I expected, and even though I have no idea what the hell is going on, I was entertained. Overall, It's fine. I doubt I will read the sequels, and I really wish this had been a more complete book.
