Short Synopsis: Peyton Anderson lives in a world where humans no longer have diseases due to one simple vaccine. But what happens when that vaccine goes horribly wrong killing off most of the human population, turning them into killer zombies, otherwise known as The Others?

My Thoughts: I'm usually not a big fan of the zombie genre, but I absolutely enjoyed this novel and couldn't get enough of it! 

Peyton Anderson and Chris Parker both live in a world, disease free, thanks to a new vaccine shot, where the teens have nicknamed, LTF. Otherwise known as License to... And though it is intentionally supposed to rid humans of diseases, especially aids, it also allows teen to become sexually active.
Most everyone that Peyton knows, has already gotten this shot. Peyton is one of few in her class to yet receive hers.
But things start to go horribly wrong, as fellow neighbors start to get sick, no one knows why. Peyton's father knows that the government is hiding something, and is probably behind the whole mess, as he constantly talks about the world coming to an end.
As Peyton and her classmate Chris, start to investigate, things also start to get worse with their fellow friends and neighbors. Peyton and Chris figure out that the so called vaccine that everyone has injected, is in fact the cause for all the sickness. But that's not even the worse part. The sickness has turned these humans into rabid zombies, and one bite from a zombie can turn a normal human into one of the Others. Peyton knows that she must do something to put a stop to this mess. Can Peyton and her father put a stop to this horrible mess, and can Peyton and Chris' relationship survive the whole ordeal?

A seriously awesome read. I am not usually one for zombies because I don't like how they are typically described as, but this novel was really well done. I loved the fact that there was mystery, action, and love, all in one great read. The main characters, Chris and Peyton, both had an innocence to them and I enjoyed reading the fact that a real horrible situation was discovered through innocent eyes.

I also enjoyed the fact that the characters were complete opposites. Peyton, a beautiful popular teen, and Chris, a school nerd, get together in the most unlikely circumstances, and it was interesting to learn how both had changed after the zombie apocalypse.

A lot of original content involved in this piece, and I liked how realistic the situation seemed. One thing I wasn't a fan of was the constant back and forth of the past and present, without really any, captions, but as soon as I was used to the style, I couldn't get enough. I kept waiting for the back story for Peyton's parents, and though we know what happened with her father, I was still wondering what had happened to her mother. Overall, a great story line, interesting characters, and a story I wouldn't mind reading more of.

Would I recommend this book: Yes

Rating: I give this book a 4.5/5.
