Review of Aftertime by Sophie Littlefield

Awakening in a bleak landscape as scarred as her body, Cass Dollar vaguely recalls surviving something terrible. Having no idea how many weeks have passed, she slowly realizes the horrifying truth: Ruthie has vanished.


And with her, nearly all of civilization.


Where once-lush hills carried cars and commerce, the roads today see only cannibalistic Beaters - people turned hungry for human flesh by a government experiment gone wrong.


In a broken, barren California, Cass will undergo a harrowing quest to get Ruthie back. Few people trust an outsider, let alone a woman who became a zombie and somehow turned back, but she finds help from an enigmatic outlaw, Smoke. Smoke is her savior, and her safety.


For the Beaters are out there.


And the humans grip at survival with their trigger fingers. Especially when they learn that she and Ruthie have become the most feared, and desired, of weapons in a brave new world..


My Review:
I have always enjoyed reading books that are written about the world after the apocalypse has taken place. As always man never changes, if you were good you remain good and if you were bad , well you get worse and then there is always those few fanatics who are smart enough to use anything to their advantage. I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next one. I give this one 4 croaks.

Mama,

I was a bit disappointed with this one - not enough brain eating zombies. :)

I'm actually surprised you liked it - you don't like zombies.
