    The first book I have read recently is a very good one. I really recommend you to read it. The heroine is not the kind of mother who saves the world. In my opinion, it is a post-apocalyptic novel with relatively novel themes. Not only zombies, but also vampires in the later period. The next three books are ordinary vest novels, which are some of the better ones I have read recently.
