Otherwise, I got through the story very quickly, and I wasn’t sure if this was because I was super into it or if the narrative was simply fast-paced—perhaps a little bit of both. Then homebody Peter puts the camp in danger by naively allowing a stranger to come ashore and he's forced to leave the community of Wranglestone. With that said, there were also some suspenseful moments and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread as Peter uncovered the reality of the world around him. A complete treasure of a book - page-turning, stunning writing, an extraordinary setting and with a gorgeous love story at its heart.For fifty years, she has trained to slay wyrms - but none have appeared since the Nameless One, and the younger generation. It's isolated, post-apocalyptic National Park setting is beautifully atmospheric, creating an aura of both bucolic serenity and claustrophobic threat. Well, I’m not sure I can say much without giving things away, but yea I’m busy writing a concluding sequel. Too trusting, and infinitely better with a darning needle than an axe or gun, he’s something of a liability to the community, especially as another winter sets in, for “winter was the one season every Lake Lander feared.

As Peter and Cooper's relationship develops, together they make a discovery that makes them question everything they though they knew about their world. It picks up a month after events on the lake and goes on to explore those story elements we’d arrived at come the end of the first book. Rid the world of it” - this is how encounters with the zombie Restless Ones must be handled, a mantra soon-to-be-sixteen-year-old Peter struggles to follow. Hitchcock’s rule of suspense was to let the viewer know something’s awry, then let them sweat waiting for it.The protagonist, Peter, must prove himself useful to the group, while uncovering some dark truths about the zombies. He used to work a dead end job, trying to make ends meet, but now feels like he has a purpose, keeping people safe and fighting against the zombies that have taken over. Now he must help rancher Cooper, the boy he’s always watched from afar, herd the Dead from their shores before the lake freezes over. Darren lives in London with his partner and works in the voluntary sector for a homeless organisation. Winter is coming and with it the lake will freeze, and the 'restless' (the living dead) will come, but is all as it seems?

A complete treasure of a book – page-turning, stunning writing, an extraordinary setting and with a gorgeous love story at its heart. The long-awaited second instalment in Samantha Shannon's Sunday Times and New York Times-bestselling series Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. Overall though, there’s a midway turning point in the story that, no matter how hard I tried, couldn’t get woven in any sooner.I was saddened to read that there has been ‘a spate of attempts around the world to remove titles depicting gay or transgender characters from library shelves’ (The Guardian, January 2019).
