The Virus spread. Billions died. The Ending began. We may have survived the apocalypse, but the Virus changed us.
When people started getting sick, “they” thought it was just the flu. My roommate, my boyfriend, my family… they’re all gone now. I got sick too. I should have died with them — with the rest of the world — but I didn’t. I thought witnessing the human population almost disappear off … disappear off the face of the earth was the craziest thing I’d ever experience. I was so wrong. My name is Dani O’Connor, I’m 26-years-old, and I survived The Ending.
The Virus changed everything. The world I knew is gone, and life is backwards. We’ve all had to start over. I’ve been stripped of my home, my dreams… all that is me. I’m someone else now — broken and changed. Other survivors’ memories and emotions haunt me. They invade my mind until I can no longer separate them from my own. I won’t let them consume me. I can’t. My name is Zoe Cartwright, I’m 26-years-old, and I survived The Ending.
We’ve been inseparable for most of our lives, and now our friendship is all we have left. The aftermath of the Virus has stranded us on opposite sides of the United States. Trusting strangers, making sacrifices, killing — we’ll do anything to reach one another. Fear and pain may be unavoidable, but we’re strong… we’re survivors. But to continue surviving in this unfamiliar world plagued by Crazies and strange new abilities, we have to adapt. We have to evolve.
And more than anything, we have to find each other.

This was such a nice book. It is not filled with battles and concentrates more on the individual characters. The Virus has left some people with abilities to read minds and control other people and animals. It is a really great read that is not upsetting but uplifting. I really enjoyed the writing skills and the plot of the book. This book is well …
I was hooked from the first page! One of my favorite books.
This is the start to my most favorite series! I love the plot and most of the characters, the other characters I love to hate!! Haha! Each book in this series gets better and better!!
The plot is extremely well crafted, the dual story lines following the the main characters, Zoe and Dani, are woven together very effectively. This is a very entertaining book and left me wanting to read the next installment in the series.
Great characters that continue to grow and evolve.
I absolutely LOVED this story! Apocalyptic reads are my favorite and this one didn’t disappoint! Told from alternating POVs between best friends, this book was written in a unique way that I found incredibly refreshing. It was jam packed with interesting characters, budding love stories, intrigue, drama, suspense, and even a little steam! …
I started this book before the Covid-19 pandemic, but once the pandemic hit, the book hit home eerily big time. It is a very good book and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book.
I loved this book so much I immediately bought the rest of the series and read them next. I love the world they created and the characters! If you like post apocalyptic stories I recommend this series for sure!
Great I loved it
I was glad to see that this was not another zombie world ending story. But one that is actually a little more plausible. It was well written and moved along nicely.
Enough twists and turns to keep the readers intrigue throughout the book and wanting more at the end.
This is a very entertaining book. I had trouble putting it down! Believable! Characters are real.
A decent adventure that sags into tepid romance more often than not. Barely competent writing full of cliches. Best avoided.
Read like a teen romance. Characters not believable. Formulaic end of the world as we know it story. Dont bother reading.
This story was obviously written by a female who has never had sex before. I say: try it you might like it.
Loved this book and read the rest of the series. It was a unique take on dystopian society, which was a breath of fresh air from all the zombie books out there.
Though one of my favorite series to date, the last book was anticlimactic. However, that does not change how much I loved the story and the characters. Once you start reading, you …
Excellent! Kept me riveted from first page to last. Characters were well rounded, plot was clear and believable. Just a great read!!
I picked up this book for a quick read. I thought it was okay at first but not great, but as I got further into it I started to like it. The characters get more likable and better developed as you get further into the story. By the end I decided I liked it. So I’m reading the second book it the series. Try it but give it time you have to stick …
A brilliant start to this romantic, fantasy, end of the world virus series!! Really well written, great characters & ideas! I did really enjoy this story & will look forward to reading the rest of the series! What a treat!! I do strongly recommend to all who love this type of book!
This one keep me one the end of seat, waiting to see what was going to happen next. Most of the time, it wasn’t what I thought it was going to be. It was better. What Dani and Zoe went through on their journey to try to Colorado where there is supposed to be a safe haven. They met others that joined them. Dani was with a different group than …
Advertised as apocalyptic with a touch of romance. I’d switch those around and change “romance” simply to “sex”. Some actual romance would have been nice. Just sticking to the main storyline would have been good too.
