For Scarlet, raising her two daughters alone means fighting for tomorrow is 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?
Zombies. They are so not my thing. I don’t understand the
appeal or why everyone is so fascinated with them. In light of this, while I absolutely
LOVED Jamie McGuire’s Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster, I was leery
about reading a book about a zombie apocalypse. But I was determined (even if
it took me way longer than I normally take to read a book.)
While I am still not a zombie fan (Sorry Jamie!), I did
enjoy Red Hill very much. It’s a well-written, engaging story that even made me
cry a few times. It’s a story of survival, determination, love and hope for the
future. It will keep you wondering what’s going to happen next with every new
twist. It’s definitely worth the read.

Not really a zombie fan either, but I do plan to read Red Hill because I am a Jamie McGuire fan.
ReplyDeleteGotta say though, World War Z was pretty good...or was it just because I was staring at Brad Pitt through the entire movie....hmmm
Great review Stephanie! Ok I guess I am in the minority right now. But I do like Zombies love to watch zombies and I am a huge Walking Dead fan. I like them I guess now don't laugh you sort of have to feel sorry for them because they were once your brother, or sister or parent and its not their fault they turned into a zombie to begin with. The sad thing is they are left to wander this earth without any hope. See I know goofy but its why I like them/feel sorry for them
ReplyDeleteDidn't like zombies until recently and Beth just recommended this book to me. I went to Goodreads and I'll be doggoned if your review wasn't right on top! Hey Steph! :) I'll have to check this one out!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's too funny! You'll have to let me know what you think of it! :)
