About this listen
Winter was the only season every Lake-Lander feared in this action-packed and thought-provoking debut, for fans of Patrick Ness, Marcus Sedgwick, Dread Nation and The Walking Dead.
The islands of Lake Wranglestone are a safe haven in a world filled with the Restless Dead. But as the lake freezes over, there’s nothing to stop them from crossing the ice.
Peter has never really felt at home in a place where practicality and grit are valued above all else. He’s nothing like Cooper - the boy he’s always watched from afar. But when he is ordered to join Cooper out on the mainland, they find more than just each other.
There they unearth a dark secret about Wranglestone’s past. One that forces the pair to question everything they’ve ever known.

It’s a wonderful way to explain death and I hope it helps people come to terms with loss and grief

The positives far outweigh the negative though. It was wonderfully written, loved how the speech was given an American twang. The romance (as sudden as it was) was more implied and not made all hot and steamy. just a sweet and intimate implication. Additionally I got Zombies!!! Never in a million years did I think I'd get a queer romance in a zombie novel! 😅 it is fantastic especially being a huge fan of The Walking Dead! Like TWD there were some big twists, mystery, betrayal, action and some thoroughly heartbreaking moments with some adorable moments with the love birds 🥰
I loved the narration too. The narrator captured such and endearing, innocent and sweet personality in Peters character and perfectly portrayed the more, rugged and sure of himself character of Cooper! As well as nailing the other characters voices, really giving them life and believability.
Definitely one I will be reading / listening to again.
A massive 9.8/10 read. Would thoroughly recommend if your a Zombie fan and want something a bit different to regular (sometimes sickly sweet) queer romance novels!
I Love How I Got The Walking Dead and a Queer Romance in 1!

Unexpectedly, it's also a wonderfully representative story. The author foregoes the stereotypical tropes of LGBT romance, in favour of a charming, understated realism.
The book delivers much more than you might expect from a post-apocalyptic thriller. I was fully invested in the characters and the landscape. And I'm looking forward to revisiting this world - hopefully through many more installments.
The audiobook was very well narrated. The actor has a soft, warm tone and their characterisations are varied without being distracting.
Exciting, transporting and strangely romantic
