Infestation

Thank you to the author, from whom I received the ebook a copy in exchange for a fair review.

I read this in no time at all. It was a good sample, but I wanted more. I wanted more of the characters and more of the virus and more of the drama of existing during an epidemic. It seemed to be vaguely zombie-ish, but we never got enough information or scenes with the zombies. And we get the aftermath of events, but not really many of the events.

Basically, the story follows a crew of motley survivors as they make a found family and survive the apocalypse. They begin in a town, find two teens to add to their group, and travel up a mountain to the family cabin of their leader, who is the most explored character.

Basically, I wanted more. This whetted my appetite for some creepy virus horror. I think there's some really good stuff here that could be expanded, and I would love to read the expansion. One of my very favorite parts occurred on the journey up the mountain to safety. The survivors find a car buried in the snow. There is someone in the car, but that person is infected and has glowing blue eyes.

I wanted more of this. This was cool. The groundwork is there, it just needs to be fleshed out.
