"We left because some people choose to wait for news and others make their own".

This book is for the survivors who would live no matter what. even if they are the only soul left, they will live.

Malorie, who is left with two children survives an apocalyptic world with a hope that they will escape this one day and find a peaceful home somewhere. She trains them well with blindfolds. She is scared. she is horrified. but above all, she is strong and she wants to survive.

Oh God! this book was incredible. There are creatures out in the world wrecking havoc that if anyone sees them, that person will go mad and commit suicide. so the one who wants to survive will have no choice but to black out their windows and go out blindfolded if they need anything like food, water and other essentials. And there is no room for 'hopeless people', they will die.

"You can smell it, too. Death. Dying. Decay. The sky is falling, the sky is dying, the sky is dead".

There are so many questions left unanswered in the end. but it's the open ending that made it more realistic to me. I was not satisfied with the ending at first but when I think about it now, it was the only way to end such a horror story. It was not the creatures itself that made it scary but the blindness and the unknowing nature of world and the new creatures in it. The writing was so good. And the whole book was creepy af. I had nightmares last night after reading this lol. Such a spooky thriller and I would highly recommend it.
