Come to Dust by Bracken MacLeod
5.0
There's a lot of things I enjoyed about this book but the one that really made me love it is that it's an emotional horror story. It doesn't come with the typical gore and scares that horror novels normally rely on, it's based mostly on the primal fear of losing a child.
This could technically be classified as a zombie novel, but it's also so much more than that. The zombie aspects aren't the most prominent part of the story, it focuses more on a parents love for their child and the lengths they'd go to to keep them safe given a second chance.
The story is incredibly fast paced and constantly had me guessing what would happen from one page to the next. Every time I picked it up I found myself immediately wrapped up in the story and wanting, no, needing to know more!
