Description
Jade is smack dab in the middle of a personal crisis when a killer virus sweeps the country, only making matters worse. Before she even has a chance to wrap her brain around what’s happening, the world has vanished and everything she knew and loved is gone. Even worse, she’s starting to think she might be the only living person left in New York.
Which probably has a lot to do with how she reacts when she bumps into Trevor in Central Park. What can only be described as a celebration of life is followed by an awkward morning where she realizes she doesn’t even like the only other living person she’s seen in days. And she’s pretty sure he isn’t too thrilled with her either.
But when Jade and Trevor realize that this outbreak is much more than just a killer virus, they suddenly find themselves dependent on one another for survival, and it isn’t long before Jade is forced to forget the things from her past that she cannot change, and instead focus on the things she can change in the here and now.

This was so good. It touches on a different view as the others in this series does. It touches on alcoholism. I love how each book gives you a different location or viewpoint of how different people handles the apocalypse. Where they were, people they lost and how they survived. Kate does a great job with this series. The narrator does a great job.

Narration was okay; her voice was nice. The recording levels changed volume at times; it was probably just edits, but could’ve been done smoother. Still a good listen.
I wasn’t a fan of this; it was written well and I love zombie romance type of stories, but this was mostly about Jade being a major alcoholic with a brief pop up of zombies. Jade’s husband died about a year ago; she couldn’t handle it, so she became a major alcoholic. Now, lots of people are dying from some disease and turning into zombies, so Jade takes the first chance she can to drink herself into a stupor. She’s a complete mess. Luckily, she happens to sleep with some random guy, Trevor, she knew for about 30 seconds; without knowing what he looks like and without protection mind you, but it turns out he’s mostly a decent guy. If it weren’t for him, Jade would’ve been dead in no time; I don’t know how Jade was a doctor because she comes across as an idiot quite a bit. Trevor was an okay character. The read was an okay one, just not for me.
