"Blood-soaked, heart-wrenching, grim and glorious.”—Rachel Harrison, national bestselling author of Black Sheep

From CJ Leede, the author of Maeve Fly, comes a scorching new apocalyptic novel. American Gods meets The Last of Us in this epic and sweeping story about the end of the world as we know it.

A virus is spreading across America, transforming the infected and making them feral with lust.

Sophie, a good Catholic girl, must traverse the hellscape of the midwest to try to find her family while the world around her burns. Along the way she discovers there are far worse fates than dying a virgin…

The end times are coming.

What can I say this book kept my attention and I couldn’t stop listening. So many ups and downs and the never ending twists

Speechless

the concept is really cool but the characters didn't feel super developed so I didn't get emotionally attached at. But I would still be willing to listen to a sequel!

interesting take on a zombie apocalypse

The essential plot was good with much potential. However, the book seemed overly long with unnecessary, repetitive details.

This book gave me everything I needed and wanted with a heavy theme. A gorgeous and horrifyingly realistic story of trauma and religion. Feminine Rage embodied. One of my favorite books of the year. Heartbreaking and beautiful.

Horrific and Beautiful

Having listened to Maeve Fly prior to this, and experiencing a sort of vague horrific interest in the author, I decided to give CJ Leede another go and tried this one. I like the idea of an inner monologue from an ultra conservative teen who knows nothing of the world, navigating through a sex ridden zombie apocalypse. I could have loved this audiobook, but the narrator ruined the experience for me. I will be honest, I usually read my books and enjoy the tactile experience. I have listened to a handful of audiobooks and have never paid attention to the narrator's voice unless they are spectacular. This book's voice narrator is breathy, whispery and quite frankly, distracting. I am struggling through the last 2 hours, hoping that this poor girl's inner monologue will show some sort of emotion. I would probably rate this higher if I had read the book instead of listened to it.

A unique perspective..but
