This book was rough for me to read. 

I was excited about the premise, but found the writing itself to be a little lacking. 

End of the world, apocalyptic zombie situation. The villains are the evangelical church types, trying to harness the power of the “Grace” and unleash it on the world. Very twisted, very dark, very violent. The heroes are a group of queer kids and Benji, the protagonist, has a ticking time bomb of the “Seraph” inside him that will one day dissolve his body like a caterpillar undergoing metamorphosis to become a butterfly. 

This book is creepy. This book is visceral. It’s gratuitous in it’s violence and the world building of the beasts called “the Grace.”

I’m not sure how I feel about it but I’ll give it 4 stars for being a unique take on the genre, and for having an all queer cast.
