Description
The Other Life: who we were before the virus. How we'll never be again. It's been 3 years, 1 month, 1 week and 6 days since Sherry has seen daylight. When things went wrong up above, she was sealed off from the world in a bunker with her family. But when they run out of food, Sherry and her dad must venture outside. There they find devastation, desolation...and the Weepers: savage mutant killers. When her dad is snatched, Sherry joins forces with gorgeous but troubled Joshua - an Avenger, determined to destroy the Weepers. But can Sherry keep her family and Joshua safe, when his desire for vengeance threatens them all? The seeds of first love are sown amongst the death and destruction of a nightmare future in this incredible debut novel. Beautifully formed and gut-wrenchingly gripping, it's essential reading.
Reviews / Votes
A compelling book that made me look forward to discovering more on the next page. * Stepping Out of the Page blog * A fantasy just waiting to be made into a zombie film. The monsters of this tale - The Weepers - are depicted with great skill, inspiring genuine terror in the reader... Winnacker raises a whole range of issues central to contemporary societies... Is The Other Life the kind of allegorical warning we desperately need? * Books for Keeps * A very convincing, enthralling and emotional debut... if you love dystopian and zombie literature, it's the right book for you. * Endlessly Bookish blog * A wonderful YA dystopian novel that hopefully will stand out from the rapidly growing market in this genre. * Pukka Pad * Absolutely gripping. Susanne Winnacker certainly has a knack of capturing atmosphere. * Our Book Reviews *More details
