Like all the best thrillers it starts off gently, events spiralling out of control as the narrative progresses. The writing in the present tense gives the prose the immediacy necessary, putting the reader right in amongst the action, until you are left wondering if you'll ever escape the Forest. I for one forgot that I wasn't in it.
A tense page turner that will have you gripped from the beautiful opening monologue about the ocean. Hopefully the first of many books, zombie related or otherwise, to come from Carrie Ryan. Really great stuff. We also have a review of [[The Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan]].
Fans of supernatural post-apocalyptic stories might enjoy [[Something of the Night by Paul Cave]]. For more zombie flavoured fiction, try [[Unmarked Graves by Shaun Hutson]].
