The First Days (As the World Dies, #1)

Book 3 of my Zombie-a-thon 2022!
This started off excellently with a stressful and heartbreaking scene. Things steadily declined from there with some personality shifts that were ridiculous and annoying. I need character development in a story and enjoy the building up of relationships, however, this all moved at a laughably unrealistic pace. I know it's a zombie apocalypse story but I still want some elements to be believable. The zombie attack scenes were well written and intense. Overall though, I did not enjoy the characters in the story and the heavy focus on finding love again a matter of days after characters lost their kids and spouses to the zombie virus. Others have enjoyed this so another case of 'not for me'. More flesh eating and less swooning please.

"Yikes lady! I don't want to be too jugdey given there's a zombie apocalypse and you're probably traumatised and all, but you literally watched your husband eat your kids yesterday now your making moves on someone else?"

"Okay. So the same lady who made moves on another woman the day after her husband ate her kids, is now hitting on another man. Moreover, the lesbian woman she tried to hit on is also finding herself drawn to the same man. Y'all need to get eaten by zombies ASAP."
