Review
I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy The Harvesting or not. Turns out, I did. I loved that it wasn't strictly a scary, gory zombie story. It was much more than I expected... Zombies, vampires, spirits and a little romance on the side. Layla, the heroine, was easy to like and she kicked ass.
It ended a bit abruptly for my taste but I think there will be some interesting things revealed in the second book and I can't wait to read it. The Harvesting is definitely worth reading.
