After Life Lessons: Book One by L.C. Spoering, Laila Blake

4.0

Disclosure: I received a copy of After Life Lessons from the author (as part of the “Apocalypse Whenever” Group) in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the setting and pacing right from the start; and although there isn’t a lot of action and very little zombie involvement, the story keeps progressing nicely. It took me a while to really feel for the characters, which is in no way a bad thing – I think my investment in them grew, as their relationship grew. Emily is doing the best she can in the roughest of circumstances and I really didn’t want Aaron to gallop in on his white horse to save the day… The balance of trust and mistrust is handled delicately throughout. This is most certainly character driven.

If you’re looking for an all-out Zombie story, you won’t find it here, but if you want a more subtle tale about the struggle to survive then give this a go.
