Barricaded in Cortege High with five other teens while zombies try to get in, Sloane Price observes her fellow captives become more unpredictable and violent as time passes although they each have much more reason to live than she has.
Not your typical end-of-the-world-zombie novel. This book is actually really engrossing because the main character, Sloane, is such a damaged character that the whole zombie issue seems to be rather trivial in comparison to the whole rest of her life.
She is fascinating; suicidal, strong, fragile, willful and strangely, one of the most reasonable characters in the whole book. I loved the idea that someone’s crappy life could actually prepare them for whatever dangers lie ahead. It gives me hope.
