Just a pretty bad book all around. I didn't really care about the characters, who were pretty thinly written and stereotypical. And the situations they were in were kind of dull and dumb. The entire idea of EVERYTHING on earth that died getting inhabited by demons from hell - killed the entire book. If there isn't any hope for any type of survival, it kills any interest in the story. There are quite a few typos in this too. I doubt I'll be reading the sequel. Also, I like my zombies traditional, slow, dumb and hungry, not using rifles, driving cars, etc.
I'd pass on this one.
