2.25

Maybe 2.25? This was meh. Prequel got me hooked, rest of the book was a bore. Didn't like the characters or the dialogues. Forgettable.

[My bad for reading this book knowing a pregnant woman would be involved. Reading so much about pregnancy and birth made me queasy, I'm not the right target.]

3.5

I really liked this book. It’s a bit like every zombie film out there, but there’s hope in this one which I like. I genuinely cared for all the characters, and I cried a lot. 

It’s not the most mind blowing but I liked it enough to cry when sad things happened, which doesn’t happen with badly written books. 

Sassafras and lullabies.
