I joined the blog tour for The Harvesting and chose a review
as my tour stop. Let me say that I am so glad I did. I love the horror/zombie
genre and this one fits right in! There are so many turns and twists in this
story. You begin reading and you think you know what is happening but you
really have no idea….
I began reading and the main character, Layla grabbed my
attention immediately. Layla is a strong heroine with a great personality. She receives
a call from her grandmother (who is known for being a psychic) who tells her to
come home immediately. Layla travels home and her grandmother is basically preparing
for the end of the world. Layla loves
her grandmother so she follows her orders but she is skeptical about what her
grandmother thinks will occur.
The next thing you know the end of the world IS happening
and thanks to Layla’s grandmother’s they are prepared. I really don’t even know
where to begin. Layla has to deal with so many trials and tribulations. There
is romance, suspense, and FULL of lots of ACTION!!
The survivors that are left after the apocalypse are depending
on Layla and her instincts to help them survive. This is the main reason that I
love zombie stories. They are not about the gore and blood factor…They are all
about the survivors and how they come together to overcome the odds.
This story was incredible. I could not put it down. I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. I really loved Melanie’s writing style and
how she placed everything so perfect where the story just blended. I am really
looking forward to reading the sequel!!!

Oh, this looks interesting! Thanks for sharing with us. I love finding new books by new authors! I always wonder when I think of an author's journey to publishing their own book if there was any other author that inspired them to first sit down and put pen to paper.
