Review: The Last Days

THE LAST DAYS

Scott Westerfeld

‘Strange things are happening in New York City.  But for Moz, Zahler and Pearl, all that matters is their new band. As the city reels under a mysterious epidemic, they join up with a vampire lead singer and a drummer whose fractured mind can sense the coming darkness. Will there music stave off the end of the world? Or summon it?’

This is a sequel of sorts to Peeps which created a new type of vampire: one transferred by a virus.  In The Last Days the virus has spread and along with it has come the end of the world.  There are some guest appearances by characters from Peeps, but you don’t have to have read the first one to enjoy the second.

If you like music and bands, or if you are looking for something a bit more energetic than Twilight, pick up a copy of The Last Days.  Each chapter is written from the perspective of one of the five band members.
