Ah, I really loved this. I mixed it up and did some on audio and read some (mostly because I didn't want to waste gas driving around listening to another chapter, lol).
I'm late to the game on this one and I couldn't help but compare it to A Quiet Place. There are a lot of parallels here: death caused by the use of a human trait (sight and making sound), children in peril, agonizing home births, and microphones and amplifiers. Good god, I will never forget that chapter in the bar.
There are some truly terrifying moments in this book. I couldn't put it down.
I was struck over and over again by Malorie's determination to live, the situation was so dire that I could understand people giving up hope.
