Review

A zombie survival story with a new take on how zombies are made. The main characters are a married couple, and the wife suspects the husband of cheating. The zombie horde being them back together, picking up a kid along the way. Rust-Colored Rain ends on a cliffhanger, so I'll have to get book 2, to find out what happens and who survives!
