I added not one, but two books for this challenge tonight! The City of Mirrors by Justin Cronin, third and final book in "The Passage" series. Excellent book and series. Although this novel occurs 150 some years after the initial vampire outbreak, there is of course a resurgence, so it works.

The second is Hater by David Moody. I thought this was a zombie book, but it was not. It was still quite good, with a caveat. The main character Danny McCoyne is a true anti-hero. He is a bit of a prick even before the outbreak, so this book might not be everyone's cup of tea.

My reviews are posted so check them out.


Someone suggested The Passage to me when I told them about the challenge. So I'm planning on getting there! Might save it for next year at this point; I'll have to see


Just beware that The Passage series is a commitment. The first book, The Passage is 766 pages, the second The Twelve is 568 and the third The City of Mirrors is 624. Don't let that dissuade you because it totally worth the effort, but I might not take the series until you have some time. Probably not "summer read" material!
