After Life Lessons: Book One by L.C. Spoering, Laila Blake
5.0
This is one of those books that reminds me why I still love to read about zombies or apocalyptic stories. If it’s done right there can be so much depth not only to the story but also, and here is the most important part, the characters.
And after reading zombie books you get a feel straight away if it’s going to be something that you’re going to like from the get go. For me this book was one where I knew instantly that I was going to like it. It starts and I really didn’t know if Emily and Song were going to make it. They were struggling hard. And sadly that’s what I loved about it. There are too many zombie books out there where the main characters get away too easily and I’m always left wondering exactly why they had so many supplies prior to, or why they decided to keep themselves locked in a bunker… etc. In this one, however, it felt completely real, chillingly so, while Emily searches for shelter, and then hurts her arm when she slips and falls. This is only maybe 5% into the book and my heart was already palpitating!
And it just gets better from there. I could feel her plight from the beginning so when they meet Aaron I’m worried but also hopeful because they really do not have a choice.
This is absolutely fantastic and fans of books and shows like the Walking Dead should fall in love with this and with the writing. Cannot wait to read more from Laila and L.C.
4.5/5
