Hmmm.. I have no idea what to write. I have very mixed feelings on this conclusion, and it's hard to say why.
I adored book 1, enjoyed book 2 a lot, but this one fell a little flat for me. It wasn't terrible. 3 stars isn't a bad rating, it shows I did enjoy it. But just, sadly, not as much as the previous books.
I think the main problem was the time. I picked this book up but just as I was half way through, ACOWAR came out, and I HAD to start ACOWAR straight away. Then, after ACOWAR, I just wasn't in the mood for anything like this. I needed something completely new and different to stop me going into a slump. So this sat on my shelf half read for probably a week. Then when I finally picked it up again, I had lot a lot of the love I had for the characters and series as before. It just didn't feel the same.
I also wasn't over keen on the way the "normal baggers" weren't that dangerous anymore. I loved the action and actual fear from the zombies baggers from book 1, so their newer, less fearsome version didn't pull me in as much. I did like the addition of the ferals, but by then I wasn't as immersed in the world.
I really like the characters, and wish we'd had a bit more of an epilogue by the end.. I liked the romance, but the ending was sad. I wanted a bit more of a HEA for my favourite character. I did like that the ending was open for potentially more though. I can still hope.
Definitely would still recommend this series to anyone who like Dystopian/Horror YA, and I will look into more from this author in the future.

like I wish we'd gotten to see Joy give birth, and how her and Jack cope as parents in this new world.Definitely would still recommend this series to anyone who like Dystopian/Horror YA, and I will look into more from this author in the future.
