Blurb:



In a world where the dead don’t stay dead, survival is a brutal game of chance.

Seventeen-year-old Stella knows better than to rely on anyone but herself. When a routine scavenging trip turns into a fight for her life, she barely escapes—only to be saved by a gruff, middle-aged loner named Logan, who wants nothing to do with her. But fate has other plans. Thrown together with Joey, a reckless addict with a death wish, they seek refuge in a school-turned-compound run by the ruthless Aaron.

Logan doesn’t trust the compound’s false sense of security. Stella doesn’t care—she just needs a ride north. But as tensions rise, secrets unravel, and Joey’s addiction threatens to destroy them all, the infected breach the walls, turning their safe haven into a bloodbath.

With nowhere left to hide, the group flees into the unknown, haunted by the ghosts of their pasts and the monsters at their heels. As Logan battles his demons and Stella fights the pull of a world she swore she’d leave behind, they’re forced to make an impossible choice: cling to the ties that bind them or risk everything for the promise of something more.

The dead are relentless. But sometimes, it’s the living you should fear the most.

For fans of The Last of Us and The Walking Dead, this gripping YA zombie thriller will keep your heart pounding until the very last page.

My Review:

A World Alone is the first book in R.K. Weir’s zombie novel, Dead World Trilogy. A World Alone is everything you would ever want in a zombie story and more. A World Alone has lots of zombies, something I want when I read a zombie book.

The action never stops; it just keeps on going. The descriptions are very well done, drawing me into the story even more. I have no trouble seeing or envisioning everything I am reading in my mind.

Seventeen-year-old Stella is trying to make her way north. Stella never expresses why she wants to go north. She is always on the lookout for a ride north. Lucky for her, she encounters a gruff middle-aged loner named Logan, who wants nothing to do with her.

But he can’t seem to shake Stella. Logan has a vehicle that can give her a ride; hopefully she can talk him into taking her north. Stella and Logan run into Joey, a reckless addict with a death wish.

Logan is running from his past, not to mention the monsters dead and alive hot on their trail. The zombies are not the only thing Logan, Stella, and Joey have to worry about in this dead world; no, the alive can be just as deadly, if not more so.

The suspense, zombie killing, trying to figure out where Stella is going, and what Logan is running from kept me on the edge of my seat as I raced to the end, waiting for each of their secrets to unfold. I can’t wait to dive into book two, A World Together in the Dead World Trilogy, for more zombie fighting.

I highly recommend A World Alone to all zombie fans! Grab a copy of A World Alone today!
