However, this book left me a tad wanting. I am giving it 4 stars because the storyline is still great, but I felt like there were a couple holes for me. But I am not the author and maybe it is not how the characters were speaking to the author or what the characters wanted at the time of the story. What I do love is that the four of them are still close and are realizing that they are more of a family now, rather than just friends or just survivors that are surviving together. They really have weathered some crazy storms and zombie hordes, but I think their journey is really just getting started. Stay tuned for another review!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25626\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/amzn-author-media-prod\/5e22q0brgii7ksbnbbn8u23cq8._SY600_._SL200_._PQ50_._FMwebp_.jpg\" alt=\"L.
