Sooooo... what did you think?
I loved it. I was hooked from the off because of the character of Amy. I found myself rooting for her from the moment her mum left her at the convent.
I also found I could almost believe this happening; the way the whole disaster is set up rings true in a number of ways.
I won't say too much for now, your turn...

That would be a whole other series... I'd not put any money on Canada / South America surviving, tho...
I remember reading a review when it was published that was very scathing about the fact the infected are never called 'vampires', but rather, 'jumps', 'dracs', etc. I actually thought this was a very realistic detail. Reminded me of World War Z; faced with the worst thing you can imagine, humans seek to belittle it. After all, who would admit that what they were facing was a vampire apocalypse. Especially if they don't fit the myth after all - picture a jump in a cloak? I didn't think so.
Agree about the slang. Especially in the compound, where they're not going to know what a vampire is. And they're not really vampires anyway since, from my understanding, they aren't dead and never were.
I have to say - to begin with it was slow going with this one, but it's getting more and more interesting as it goes on. Glad I stuck with it. Mavis and I will be having many more baths to get this read.
Unfortunately not. Mavis is my Kindle.
Yeah, it's not easy! I think there might be a dramatis personae in the back (there is in The Twelve) but it might not be spoiler-free.
Absolutely loving this book, people will have a job prising it away from me!
