Short Review: So usually you read any zombie book and they're stuck back in the 1990's with no internet/phones/ cool tech, but this zombie book said eff that, have way better tech than we do now, but somehow RadioShack is still in business..... I really liked Georgia, she was a straight shooter and was in the news to report the actual news which especially with what is going on in the world as the time i'm writing my review (covid-19), really hits home about how the news can make or break things. SPOILER: i think it's 100% fucked up that Georgia was killed, i really didn't like Shawn too much, he's a typical boy that really does just go poking shit with sticks for fun, so i doubt i'll read book 2 any time soon

Short Review: I love funny AIs or just AIs that are crazy/funny. M-bot was a hoot, he better be in the next book. The main character was okay, she whined a bit too much, and she flipped flopped so much, like act like a bitch and own it or just shut the fuck up, you can't just keep doing/saying dumb/bitchy shit and then taking it back right away or feeling bad about it. SPOILER: I didn't really like the ending, for one, they barely explain the damn defect, and what the fuck are the Krell, like i'm still so confused. and how the fuck did they just switch someone in her dad's brain to fuck shit up. like how does that work!
