About this ebook
NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES!
'THE STAND meets THE ROAD' Entertainment Weekly
'Enthralling ... richly imagined. Above all, Amy is a superb creation, believably human yet beguilingly enigmatic' Sunday Times
Amy Harper Bellafonte is six years old and her mother thinks she's the most important person in the whole world.
She is.
Anthony Carter doesn't think he could ever be in a worse place than Death Row.
He's wrong.
FBI agent Brad Wolgast thinks something beyond imagination is coming.
It is.
'Read 15 pages, and you will find yourself captivated; read 30 and you will find yourself taken prisoner and reading late into the night. It had the vividness that only epic works of fantasy and imagination can achieve. What else can I say? This: read this book and the ordinary world disappears' Stephen King

Vampires almost destroy the world! Things I liked: that we create our own prisons from our expectations, fears, pain and disappointments; that we are all searching for redemption; that we all struggle to forgive others and most especially ourselves. Things I didn't like: the messianic tone; the bad guys are one-dimensional (I'm not talking about the mindless flesh-devouring vampire-victims). First book was free. I liked it well enough to buy the sequels because I wanted to read the whole story.

Entertaining second half but I can't help but feel that the first half was too long and seemed to drag. It is, however, an interesting concept but takes to long to get to where we all want to be.

The first chapter is so depressing and boring, a person would have to be sadistic to enjoy reading about it. Next chapter launches into an email dialogue that barely grabs your attention. Why would anyone want to read this?
