Robin's Review

This is a futuristic dystopian society set in a post-apocalyptic world in what once was Silicon Valley in California.
 
A ruthless governing council controls the cure for the zombie virus and post bite vaccine, leaving the rich enjoying the benefits of a safe and protected society.  On the outside the world is ravaged by roaming zombies.
 
Along comes Miranda Tucci who revolutionized the idea of vertical farming, as OPS Director she keeps everyone fed while the Jesuit Fathers, Walter and Doug control the farms.
 
In a plot to steal the vaccine Miranda and her unlikely zombie killing friends set out to take the serum to be re-produced for all of civilization.  Really, it’s only the fate of all humanity resting on their shoulders should their mission fail. 
 
There is a post-apocalyptic romance wrapped inside an adventure that explores universal themes: love and loss, betrayal and redemption.
 
What I love most is the badass Miranda, her complexities and difficult romantic relationships make her so relatable. When you add in different types of zombies, two ex-lovers, perilous obstacles, a megalomaniac cult leader and a possible cure, you have a thrilling story.
 
 I highly recommend this book for its storyline and characters.
