The First Days by Rhiannon Frater - Book 12 of 2013
Taken from Goodreads:
Katie is driving to work one beautiful day when a dead man jumps into her car and tries to eat her. That same morning, Jenni opens a bedroom door to find her husband devouring their toddler son.
Fate puts Jenni and Katie—total strangers—together in a pickup, fleeing the suddenly zombie-filled streets of the Texas city in which they live. Before the sun has set, they have become more than just friends and allies—they are bonded as tightly as any two people who have been to war together.
During their cross-Texas odyssey to find and rescue Jenni’s oldest son, Jenni discovers the joy of watching a zombie’s head explode when she shoots its brains out. Katie learns that she’s a terrific tactician—and a pretty good shot.
A chance encounter puts them on the road to an isolated, fortified town, besieged by zombies, where fewer than one hundred people cling to the shreds of civilization.
It looks like the end of the world. But Katie and Jenni and many others will do whatever they have to to stay alive. Run, fight, pick each other up when they stumble, fall in love…anything is possible at the end of the world.

My Review -
I love me some zombies, however they need to be done right. This book was done right. My favorite thing about the book is that the lead characters are women in a zombified world who are not scared to get right in the midst of things and battle along with the men. Jenni and Katie have proven to be some very tough ladies. My second favorite part of the book is how it jumped right into the story. It's like going to the lake on the very first day of summer and just jumping in and not knowing if the lake is going to be cold or warm. Well this lake was quite cold and slapped you right in the face from page 1. I have already ordered the other two in this series and I can't wait till I have them in my hands to see what else happens with Jenni, Katie, and the survivors of Ashley Oaks
