Love. Life. And zombies.
This is a YA first person present tense audiobook exploring the 'I died and came back as a zombie' trope. Fortunately, it's better than the average wannabe-writer 'Isekai' project.
Concept
People die. When they're young, they may come back as an intelligent kind of zombie. The longer it takes between dying and 'rebooting', the tougher and stronger the 'rebooted' person is. Wren 178 is the toughest, badd-ass, law abiding, unemotional kind... and yet she falls for Cullum 22. Who is still more human than he's supposed to be.
There's a bit of a background about viruses and a world war, but it's mostly global pandemic, evil corps, and girls-meets-boy-and-falls-in-love-and-the-world-is-shit-let's-run-away.
Yeah. That's most of the summary.
Still, the concept is nice, and being rebooted - becoming a zombie - without the need to eat brains or collect your fallen limbs is refreshing.
Narration
Matches the story, no complaints.
The Verdict
Nothing exceptional, but okay if a. you're into YA, and b. if you believe in life and love after death.
