Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick

4.0

Alex is hiking through the wilderness, wondering what to do next with what's left of her life. A cancerous tumour is taking over her brain and she's not sure what to do, the treatments haven't worked. And then an electromagnetic pulse destroys modern civilisation, and changes some people's brains, making them into zombies. Alex is going to have to do something with her life, she recovers and gains a sense of smell.

There are a lot of twists and turns in this story and I found it very interesting, I'm not a fan of zombie stories but this one sucked me in and kept me reading.
