Nadie despierta pensando que ese día tendrá que enfrentarse al fin del mundo. Pero, a medida que los pacientes se agolpan en la sala de urgencias del hospital en el que trabaja, Scarlet debe comenzar a aceptar que la plaga europea sobre la que las noticias venían informando ha llegado a Estados Unidos ... y que, a partir de ese viernes, ya nada será igual. Es lo mismo que descubre Nathan mientras corre con su hija pequeña por unas calles infestadas de zombis, donde cualquier esquina puede esconder el mordisco que conduzca a una muerte terrible. Y lo que constata Miranda en su huida por carretera camino del refugio donde todos ellos habrán de coincidir: la cabaña de Red Hill.
When the world ends, can love survive? For Scarlet, raising her two daughters alone makes fighting for tomorrow an everyday battle. Nathan has a wife, but can't remember what it's like to be in love; only his young daughter Zoe makes coming home worthwhile. Miranda's biggest concern is whether her new VW Bug is big enough to carry her sister and their boyfriends on a weekend escape from college finals. When reports of a widespread, deadly "outbreak" begin to surface, these ordinary people face extraordinary circumstances and suddenly their fates are intertwined. Recognizing they can't outrun the danger, Scarlet, Nathan, and Miranda desperately seek shelter at the same secluded ranch, Red Hill. Emotions run high while old and new relationships are tested in the face of a terrifying enemy--an enemy who no longer remembers what it's like to be human. Set against the backdrop of a brilliantly realized apocalyptic world, love somehow finds a way to survive. But what happens when the one you'd die for becomes the one who could destroy you? Red Hill grabs you from page one and doesn't let go until its stunning conclusion. This is #1 New York Times bestselling author Jamie McGuire at her unforgettable best.

“We all pretended it would get better, but the unspoken truth is always louder than the stories we tell.”
This book was not at all what I was expecting. I knew it was a survival story but the back made it seem like a love story first. Plus, Jamie McGuire is known for romances such as Beautiful Disaster. Due to all the negativity surrounding that series, I was weary of this one. I am glad I read it though. While it wasn't a favorite book, it was still an enjoyable read. I appreciated the plot and the characters and their journey of survival. I totally was not expecting the zombies at all, but it was written in a way that was almost believable.
My main issue with this book is that from the beginning we are following 3 different characters and their journey to Red Hill. While I knew eventually everything would intertwine, I feel like it took a little too long for that to happen. It wasn't until over 200 pages in that any of the character's stories intertwined. I loved when they did, even when it was beyond the three main characters, but I wanted those connections to start earlier in the book.
I know this review is really short. This was a quick read for me and I do not have much to say about it. It was not really anything special I enjoyed seeing what happened to the characters and their survival instincts but it was nothing amazing. And I tried to keep what I have heard about the author and her other books separate from my thoughts on this book.
This would be a good book for people who want a short book that is pretty laid back and nothing too gory or intense. So if you want something that deals zombies, survival, and family then this is a good book for you.
Bad idea to try to get rid a reading slump with a book by a person that authored another book you absolutely hated.
The writing was unremarkable, the plot was full of plot-holes and overall quite boring. It lacked almost any kind suspense and I could not care less about the characters or their relationships and their feelings. The biggest con of them all: barely any zombies.
Just another zombie apocalypse book but I still couldn't put it down.
