My Personal Review: I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I have always loved horror stories. There is just something about the unknown and scare factor that gets my heart going and pulse racing. The main character John is faced with a lot of hard choiced that he believes has damned him. He knows that he has to do anything in this new world to survive. That is when he meets another survivor that asks him for help and he knows that light kills. He does make the decision to help her and they to keep hidden from those that are looking for survivors. This is a thrilling story and kept me wanting more. I might have to look in to earing more Post Apocalyptic stories.
