3.5 This was a really interesting concept and I loved the atmosphere created by writing and the situation that the characters are in, there were times that I found pretty creepy (and not just the creepy old men that kept popping up). Would I survive this zombie ridden world? Nope! 
It took me awhile to get used to the dialogue at first, some of the characters talked strangely but either they stopped or I just got used to it.
Peter was so sweet, he seemed to be the only one left who sees the good in other people, though this gets him in to trouble sometimes, his romance with Cooper started off very cute (though a little creepy when you find out how obsessed he has been with Peter) and I really enjoyed it in the beginning but it moved a bit too fast for me, I was enjoying the awkward teenage crushing in the beginning. Cooper was awesome, he reminded me of Daryl from Walking Dead, I liked how he stuck up for Peter even against his own father and you could tell that he really cared about him.
I didn't figure out the secret of Wanglestone at all before the reveal. The question of who the real monsters are isn't that unique a concept for these types of stories but I thought it was done particularly well here. If you would like a cute romance set in a well done zombie story, this is the one for you.

This was a great read. Who wouldn't want to read post apocalypse zombie novel with a queer romance? 

Let's start with the Charcaters. There are a number of Charcaters in this book and some I liked and some I really didn't. Anyway I will focus on the main two Charcaters.

Peter - at the beginning Peter is sheltered from the restless ones (aka zombies) and doesn't really leave the lake. He's adorable and a little naive about the world. He also has a crush on Cooper but is too scared to do anything. We get to see Peter as he realises things about the dead, about the camp and Cooper.

Cooper - is adorable and a favourite of mine. He also has a crush on Peter and doesn't really know how to go about asking him out. He wrangles the dead and makes sure they stay away from the lake. He also saves Peter on occasion. 

The book is set on Lake Wranglestone and the book includes a map which I liked. The people use boats to get around and live houses with stilts and the lake keeps people out. The lake is supposedly a safe zone for the living survivors but as you read on you realise the Lake isn't all that it seems. The plot was great and it had me hooked. The atmosphere is amazing and creepy which really helps build the tension in the book and I could feel that something bad was going to happen. I will say that towards the end the pacing felt a little off and everything seemed to happen really quickly which made it feel a little rushed. I aLao found certain parts to be a little predictable but I won't say too much about it because spoilers. 

The romance in this is adorable. I really liked the build up of the relationship between Peter and Cooper. I also loved the little areas where they talked about how long they have liked each other and the interactions between them made me smile.

Overall I would recommend this book and I really enjoyed reading it.
