Author tries to compensate for a weak plot and weak characters by mixing simple and advanced english.
Author seems to think research is for stoopid people. Example; she thinks tasers flicker at all times. She also thinks tasers shoots blue fire.

Also, the complete idiocy of the characters made this an hard read for me. I mean, come on. You're 5 years into the apocalypse, you're in desperate need of basic medical supplies, and you're escaping from a still functional hospital which coincidentally still has basic medical supplies. And the idea of stealing some doesn't cross your mind, but you have to take a break to ponder the scarred boy's eyes for five minutes? How the hell are you still alive?

Oh, and if you get a cut and this cut isn't closed after two weeks, that limb is going to fall off and then you're going to die a really painfull death. It's not going to just sting and bleed a little.
The author also seem to think that rabbit will only be alerted to danger when other rabbits tap their paws to the ground. You know, like in the cartoons you watch on saturday morning while eating cereal, or on youtube when you're really stoned. They'll completely disregard you and the rest of your hunting team while you talk about boys and girls and who likes who.

Closure

A plane crash in the Mountains called the Grey Sisters kills everyone but one person. That is how this tale begins. After that you know you are in for a fun ride. After the crash D and Spider who both lost siblings in the crash. What we see is a group of friends who go to the crash sight to get closer. The book is told in the perspective of the girls going to the plane crash site and Ariel’s chapters were my favorite I think they had more grit to them and it made it enjoyable. I have to say I am having a real hard time writing a review for this book without giving it away. There are some unique twists that make this a good read. I would be interested to see if this is a series or if this is the genre that this author stays in with the next book.… (more)

I couldn't get into this book. Although the first chapter was intriguing, I didn't find the plotline compelling, there were parts that were a little too gruesome for me, the parts of the plotline that are about the survivalist community seemed unrealistic and based on stereotypes, and there wasn't fantastic continuity. I wouldn't recommend this book to other readers.

Pretty standard serial killer/slasher book.

I loved the twist that the killer was the assistant librarian. I picked up that it was a woman, but she wasn't even on my radar.
