I really liked the whole idea behind the book - the main character is your average Joe (even slightly below in some areas), but after an apocalyptic event, where 99% of humankind has been either killed or turned into zombie-like creatures, young and healthy men like Mason are literally a dying breed. So men like him are worshiped as kings by all women ...

So the protagonist is trying to keep his true self while surviving the harsh, post-apocalyptic world. But he's not alone in this endeavor. We are introduced to Alexis, a young woman that helps Mason escape from a dangerous encounter with a group of scavengers.

I will stop here with the spoilers, I will say only, that there are a lot of things that once can like, some are a bit confusing, some are downright silly, but I can say, that I'll be sure to read the rest of the books from the series because darn it, I need to know what happens next!
