This was good, and really decently written. I was surprised in parts by some of the language and imagery given the expected audience, but I thought the characters were fairly well written and likeable (or not in some cases). Some of the action scenes were hard to follow and the book is very pacy, missing set up, in some cases. This felt like part of a larger whole.

The Dead are walking. In post-apocalyptic America a small community manages to survive in a national park surrounded by water. They are safe and protected. That is, until winter comes and the lake freezes over and then there is nothing stopping the Dead from crossing. One day a stranger approaches kind and niave Peter, which puts the community in danger. Peter is then forced to prove his worth to the community. Prove he isn’t the weak link they all believe him to be. Soon, Peter makes a dark discovery about their secret sanctuary and makes him question everything he’s ever known.
Wranglestone is the perfect book to read on a cold winters night in a dimly lit room. It’s creepy, it’s atmospheric, it’s cold, and it’s suspenseful. It is a horror/post-apocalyptic and it had, frankly, a very refreshing take on zombies – something the genre is a little oversaturated with at the moment. It wasn’t an in-your-face scary, though some scenes were, it was a very subtle horror. It makes you question who are truly the monsters? Is it the Dead? or is it those who would do anything to survive? I loved watching Peter slowly untangle the clues and uncover the secrets – that intense feeling of knowing that something just isn’t quite right.
Wranglestone also featured a lovely m/m romance which was totally heart-warming. The romance wasn’t the focus of the story, but a really lovely addition nevertheless.
Overall, a strong debut that was thrilling, tense, and romantic. Highly recommend for zombie and horror lovers.

Where do I even start? I loved this book from the beginning to the end. I personally thought the plot was intriguing and the twists and turns had me on edge. It was the perfect amount of dark and spooky whilst being sweet and such a lovely love story. I finished this in just over a day, and that's unheard of for me, I could not put it down. Would recommend for anyone who's a fan of LGBTQ romance and sci-fi/horror-esque plot lines.
