About this listen
Cotton Crossing was a dead end, but not for Ginny Mills. She's just marking time, getting experience in the county library system, before moving back to a decent urban environment. Then the phones stop working.
Lee Quartine knows there's no way the pretty girl at the library will even look at him. Especially since he can't open his mouth. He knows he's a hick, but when the power starts going out and the woods are full of strange creatures, it's good to have someone around who can build a fire. And kill.
Ginny, Lee, and their small band of survivors can't stay put, and moving is dangerous. The infected are shambling in the hills and the concrete canyons of cities.
It's gonna be a long trip...

Good but not great
Narrator takes some getting used to otherwise good if not spectacular story and characters. I Will be giving the next book a try.

A Solid Series
I've read (and watched) a broad variety of zombie apocalypse stories and have to say I genuinely enjoyed this author's approach to storytelling, character development and juxtaposition, and threat/antagonist development.
Reading (listening to) this was a balm to a couple of the previous American zombie apocalyptic novels I encountered where the author's implicit biases were so pronounced, as to appear antithetical to the quintessential idea of the apocalyptic scenario as an opportunity for sociopolitical resets to be found in social and infrastructure breakdown.
In this series, the characters were crafted as wildly stratified but unified, however awkwardly, by the common goal to survive and persevere. They clawed their way through survival and clung to each other. But in particular was a breath of fresh air to encounter characters snatched from different swathes of the American fabric as they navigated the terrifying infected-filled landscape.
I became so invested in the characters' journeys and how things would end up for humanity, I listened to the trilogy back to back.
The narration was also engaging and such a good pick for this work. Highly recommend.

Fabulous narration
So much I like about this, the story line, just enough horror but more like a little love story going on.

Engaging and absorbing
Ignore the negative review - you can just speed up the reading - and it’s full of fleshed out characters and pretty words. Really compelling!

Not bad
Not always clear when the narrator is trying to get across characters’ thoughts rather than speech, but she does a pretty good job.
The story is ok, but the hesitant behaviour and poor decision making of the main characters is annoying.

Awful simpering reader, below average book
An below average story, no different from hundreds out there. No suprises and silly characters as is the norm these days. Reader was awful, terrible slow simpering annoying voice. Avoid even if its free.

Too much swearing
This might have been a good book but the continual ( every other word) G*d damn, f word etc was too much to take so I didn’t get very far with the book, good job it was free! Nobody I know uses swear words in every other sentence, what a waste of a good story. Tip for success, stop swearing, nobody likes it and it adds nothing to the conversation……..

Absolutely pathetic, misogynistic characters. Bad grammar.
The actual plot (other than the ‘romance’) is good, so I stuck with it. However, the main female character is laughably pathetic and unrealistic, absolutely appalling. The main male character spends the entire book mooning and perving over the woman; absolutely gross and ridiculous.
The narrator is good.
Some bad grammar (such as ‘was laying’ instead of ‘was lying’).
