Ashes by Isla J Bick. I am in love with this book. If I wasn't married, I would propose to this book. I read NOTHING about this book but the title before reading, and was so happy that I went in blind! I began thinking I was reading a book about dealing with a terminal illness, then BAM! I'm in a post-apocalyptic world without much in the way of electricity then BAM! Zomies show up! And just when I have all that tucked away, BAM! Enter slightly creepy distopic society. I love the fact that the author was able to surprise me so thoroughly and so often.
High schoolers to adults will enjoy this book, but the squidgy eating-people parts might make some people feel uncomfortable. I wouldn't necessarily say that this should be assigned reading, but it doesn't have to be. The story sells itself.
Buy this book. And feel the sheer terror I did at the end that the book had, in fact, ended. (I clicked 'next page' on my Kindle to no avail. It really was over.) It left me wanting more in a very good way!
