⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Glenn Bullion presents a thoughtful entry into post-apocalyptic fiction, focusing on Aaron’s unique ability to remain invisible to the undead. The narrative effectively contrasts his isolated, sheltered upbringing with the desperate reality faced by Samantha’s group in Lexington. By centering the plot on this specific trait, Bullion creates a tense atmosphere where survival depends on stealth rather than firepower. While the pace may feel slow for readers demanding constant action, the character dynamics and exploration of isolation provide depth. The book succeeds in highlighting the weight of responsibility placed on one individual during societal collapse, making it a solid choice for those who value thematic resonance over adrenaline.
