Narcissus & Echo

Narcissist- someone in love with themselves

Echo- the repetition of a sound resulting from reflection of the sound waves

Summary: Echo would sometimes distract Hera with great stories while her husband, Zeus, the King of the Olympians would go out and cheat on her. Well then Hera found out, she had Echo's voice taken away, but instead of it being gone for good, now she could only repeat what everyone else said. In the end she falls in love with boy, Narcissist, who's in love with himself, and he is then cuserd to fall in love with the next person he sees. One day he goes to drink water from a creek and sees his reflection. Because he can't not be with himself, he then kills himself.

Summary - The book started out on the first chapter with a letter, that pretty went out to everyone. It stated that everyone has the right to stay in the “badlands” (which are the areas not controlled by the government, and zombies are everywhere) or they could move into small cities that were trying to protect the people.The books about Death, himself coming into the world to stop the undead plague. In the next chapter, a man who just after a car crash is greeted by Death, Death asks were the Senator Moorecourt is? He was the only survivor in the other car. With Death literally looking for and lumping away from the undead, Moorecourt find a place to hide in a small warehouse, only to find out that there are two very well self-preserved Zombies in the warehouse with him...

Review - I love everything about this book so far, somethings always happening and it keeps you on your toes. The chapter kinda of jumps around so I’m excited to see what I’ll read about next.
