Summary

Cassie Forrest could almost believe life at Kingdom Come Farm is perfect, with Adrian and her friends at her side and spring on the way. The spring thaw also means millions of defrosting zombies, however, and if the past year has taught her anything, it's that life in this new world is highly imperfect.

When Safe Zones throughout the country begin to disappear and the zombies at the fences grow in number, Cassie clings to the hope that if she has the people she loves most, it will be all right. But the highly imperfect world makes only one guarantee - zombies never die, never stop and are never satiated.

Amazing can't wait for book 3!

What made the experience of listening to And After the most enjoyable?

This followed on brilliantly from books 1 and 1.5. It still has many twists and turns and the story keeps you hooked.

What was one of the most memorable moments of And After?

The most memorable will be a spoiler for book 1 and 1.5 but when you've read it you'll know!

Which character – as performed by Julia Whelan – was your favourite?

Cassie the main character - you feel all her emotional ups and downs

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Absolutely, made and laugh and cry.

Any additional comments?

Again this is an amazing book and so totally unexpected. I'm not into zombies so didn't expect to enjoy it but it is brilliant. the story keeps you hooked and you are desperate to know the outcome, lots of twists and turns. Even if you don't like zombies you'll love this book.

Great books

Love this story from book one to the next I just purchased. Had to hold the tears many times look like a maniac tearing up in traffic.
Thanks for the journey so far

Very enjoyable

I would never class myself as a fan of zombie stories but I do like a tale of post apocalyptic survivors and this is a good one. Some really nice characters and relationships. And I love Julia Whelan's narration.

Be prepared!

The story continues a pace, but be prepared for sad times ahead.
Grief is well described and just when you've had enough, the person starts to recover. There are no happy endings, though there is hope for the future. Can't wait to listen to book 3!

Excellent 2nd book in the series

excellent story and some really tear jerking moments. Julia Whelan's performance is also excellent, she really brings the story alive with the different character voices and emotional delivery. Cant wait to start the 3rd book!

Mesmerising

If you could sum up And After in three words, what would they be?

Scary, Sad and Beautiful

Who was your favorite character and why?

Cassie Forrest. If she were a real person, I'd want to be her best friend. But I also loved Nelly. And Bits. And Peter (eventually). And Anna.

Have you listened to any of Julia Whelan’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Have listened to the other books in the End of the World series. But after listening to these, I have added books read by Julia Whelan to my wishlist. Her performance is absolutely faultless.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes! I felt the same about the first book, too. I did listen to the novella in one sitting, as it was short.

Any additional comments?

This is dystopian fiction with heart and soul. I really cared about the characters, and the books made me laugh, which surprised me, and cry, too. As soon as I finished And After I pre-ordered the next book and went straight back to listening to the first one all over again, even though I have half a dozen unread books in my library. It's just that good.

The Greatest Zombie Love Story!

This is a gripping tale of how humanity can still strive and love, even if the end of the world has well and truly landed.

You can’t help but love and laugh with the characters. A gripping book from start to finish which leaves you wanting to know what happens next!
