Seventeen-year-old Alex is hiking through the wilderness when it happens: an earth-shattering electro-magnetic pulse that destroys almost everything. Survivors are divided between those who have developed a superhuman sense and those who have acquired a taste for human flesh. These flesh-hunters stalk the land: hungry, ruthless and increasingly clever. Alex meets up with Tom, a young army veteran, and Ellie, a lost girl, and they will fight together and be torn apart. Alex must face the most difficult question of all: in such vastly changed world, who can you trust?

There are a lot of things I really liked about this book. The overall craft of character and setting is quite good. There are scenes toward the beginning of this book that will stick with me for years. Truly vivid stuff, and damn creepy too. And the characters are round and engaging. The mix of wild...
This is an apocalypse/dystopian YA. There are certainly no lack of these running around the world right now, but this is a pretty good one.
