She can take care of herself.Īll of these factors play into this tale of the post-zom apocalypse and make for an incredible story that I am happy to read over and over again. Benny wants to protect her, but the truth is that she doesn't need the protecting. She is an anomaly, and there are people who want her.

She lives in the wilderness, having grown up there, supporting herself, alone, and can barely speak.

He respects the bodies of the souls that once lived in the zoms and un-animates them bearing that in mind. He offs zoms who were once friends and family to those who hire him, with compassion and a sense of grace, versus the senseless and disgustingly violent hacking of the other bounty hunters. Most bounty hunters go at it with little care as to whom they're offing, but Tom Imura, Benny's older brother, is different. Bounty hunters in this age, however, are assigned to offing zoms. This novel takes place in the post-zom (as they're called in this novel) apocalypse time, when there is a fence around the town they live in and few dare to venture outside of it, and those who do are bounty hunters. However, even though I normally don't go in for things that are zombie-themed, I loved this novel so much that I gave it to my boyfriend for a birthday present, because he IS into all things zombie apocalypse-related. This is an incredibly well-written and thought-provoking novel, even though it's a fun, fiction book geared towards those who are interested in all things to do with the zombie apocalypse.
