Necrosis is Post Apocalyptic Sci-Fi and once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. I’m a huge fan of this author and I’ve read several of her books but this one is my favorite yet. It’s a short story but backed with action, and Adventure. This authors style of writing and attention to detail along with amazing characters make for one heck of a story. Get ready to follow Amy on her adventurous mission as she tries to keep her children safe in this world that has literally turned upside down. There will be tough decisions to be made but will the right one be made? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect when starting Necrosis. The synopsis sounded pretty promising so I went with it. I was pleasantly surprised at the depth and emotion written by C. L. Schneider. The reader finds the main character, Amy, haunted by her past, but trying to survive into the future. There is so much information added to the story as well. Not only does the reader get the main story of a zombie type apocalypse, you get the emotional story of Amy’s life. The story line is well thought out and the characters are realistic. Filled with descriptive writing, Necrosis takes the reader on a wild ride filled with terror, hope, disease, and, ultimately, ends with a mother’s sacrifice to save her daughter. This is definitely a must read for anyone who likes zombie apocalypse stories with feelings.

Necrosis by C.L. Schneider is a gripping zombie apocalypse survival story that grasped me tightly in its hold. I have read and loved all Ms. Schneider’s books, so it was a no-brainer for me to snap up a copy of this to dive into. This is a bit of a different direction to her other books that I have read- but, hello, zombie apocalypse….. which turned out to be my favourite of all her stories. This is the story of Amy’s fight for survival for herself and her young daughter after a deadly virus sweeps the world- leaving chaos, destruction, and masses of infected in its wake. This fast-paced, tense, and gripping story is full of action, adventure, horror, danger, dramatic developments, intrigue, sacrifice, challenges, mother’s love/mother-daughter dynamics, family, hope, darker themes, and emotion. Happy Reading!

This was my first book by this author but won’t be my last! I liked that this book was dark and emotional, set in a zombie apocalypse world. The main character, a single mom, trying to keep herself and her daughter alive connected with me. I love to see a strong single mom character. This book was an enjoyable read if you are ok with books that are on the darker side.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a gripping apocalyptic read. It was scary how the author’s writing took something that should be make believe and turned it into something you can imagine happening. The authors writing was gripping and made the story one that i couldn’t put down.
I loved the relationship between Amy and her daughter Lila. As a mother myself I understood every thought and emotion that Amy went through and her courage to push forward to protect her daughter.
The world is falling apart. A virus is infecting people turning them into mindless predators who know nothing but to kill. Amy and her daughter are trying to get somewhere safe, away from these monsters and to protect themselves. But is anywhere truelly safe? With danger and possible death around every corner Amy fights constantly to make sure the her daughter is protected and safe. But there is only so much a mother’s love and protection can do. In the face of odds not in their favour can mother and daughter survive and escape this horror show or will they succumb to this virus. It only takes one bite after all
I absolutely hated this book! You might be asking why I gave it 4 stars then? Ok fine; I hated that it ended with a mother’s sacrifice for her daughter! The writing was so good, and it pulled me in right from the beginning. This book is a post-apocalyptic book about a woman named Amy and her daughter, Lila. I loved how it was told from Amy’s perspective and the reader gets to hear her thoughts. I related to her desire to protect her daughter and talking herself into doing things she didn’t want to do. I thought her struggles were quite realistic and grieved the choices she had to make. This is a short read and was well written!

Necrosis is a zombie world after an apocalyptic virus. Amy and her daughter, Lila, are trying their best to survive this new and terrifying world. Great characters, excellent story. C.L. Schneider pulls me in everytime.
This author is one of my all time favorites, after picking up her Nite Fire series last year, I just absolutely love the story-telling, world building, and relationship dramas. Necrosis is no exception. I wasn’t expecting to find a horror, post-apocalyptic read, but when I saw the book suggestion come up I of course immediately picked it up. SO LOVED THIS!!!
The reader is immediately thrown into an emotional state, calling on relational ties. The bond between Amy and her daughter is made so real, it’s hard to not find yourself right there with them feeling empathy for their struggles to survive. So much happens so fast, I feel like I will want to go back and re-read this, as there is such a splendid amount of detail. My favorite part of this is that when mobs come up, the drama carries you through the thrills so fast, you almost feel like you are right there with them out of breath and emotionally charged.
There is a wealth of metaphors for a person’s own reality, which I greatly appreciated. All in all this is a separate genre I feel, from what I normally pick up from the author, and loved it. Which is so exciting. Thank you so much for this zombie horror story, it is super spook and gave me all the feels. My only question is, do we get more?!

Schneider – Review by Taylor K Stephenson
Though this isn’t the first book I’ve read from this author, I wasn’t too sure what I’d see when I first began to read Necrosis but I had high expectations. Of course, my expectations were met and quickly surpassed. As a person who adores the spooky aspect of fall, I feel like this gave a perfect start to the season! We’re brought into this apocalyptic world with a bang and follow mother Amy on a mission to keep her child safe in a world turned upside down. As with any zombie-outbreak story, there are tough decisions, devastating truths, and a minefield of terror threaded throughout. Even so, the love and bond that only a mother can know is strong and keeps the worst of the darkness at bay, in my opinion. I can’t wait to see what C.L. Schneider comes up with next!
I am always fascinated by books like this. It was a quick read and had a lot of good action in it. I usually do not like zombies but I didn’t mind the idea of them in this read. The female lead was good and I found the story enjoyable.

“To all the mothers out there. You’re braver and stronger than you know” having read this quote on the first page, instantly made me know that I was going to enjoy this book. And I did! I read this book in one sitting..I couldn’t put it down. The intensity had me hooked. I couldn’t imagine trying to survive during an apocalypse! Especially with my young daughter. Reading this had my heart racing because I kept picturing myself in Amy’s shoes and having to protect my child from actual life now. It’s terrifying. It’s heartbreaking. I cried so much at the end! Being a mother and reading this just had me in my feelings! And If you can bring out my emotions, that’s a damn good book to me! Highly recommend this!
The world is lost to a disease that leaves the body as a zombie. It only takes a single bite to become infected and there is no cure. Amy will do anything to protect the one thing in the world that means the most to her, her daughter Lila. Every day is a battle for survival. The number of living souls is shrinking rapidly by the day.
Necrosis is a quick read about a mother’s love and a zombie apocalypse. It has detailed descriptions woven into the story that gives you a movie-like experience as you read along. It is a great short read so if you like zombies and survival stories this is a must read.
This is my first time reading a book by C.L. Schneider, her character and world building pulled me in and sunk their teeth in. Amy is a single mother with a 9-year-old daughter named Lila. In 4 months, the world Amy had learned to navigate had crumpled. All that mattered anymore was the need to survive and to protect.
Amy’s life before necrosis was never easy, she stumbled through life, going from substance to substance, abusive boyfriend to the next. Then the virus hit the world it wasn’t a biblical event, or a nuclear mishap it was a virus that changed the host, one single bite transmitted it to the next person. An average time of 36-48 hours and they would be lost to the feral animal instinct to eat and survive. Now was her chance to do better, the world had been reset all sins have been washed away. Her compassion to help those that she thought she could put her and her daughter in danger more than Amy could admit but now it was just the two of them again. It was them against the world and Amy refused to let her anxieties take hold of her again, it could cost Lila her life and that was not an option. A stranger trapped in a donut shop in her hometown makes her realize the biggest truth. We’ll be a people with no past. Millions of faceless, nameless creatures wandering the Earth, all lost to history. Within the moments she was distracted hordes and hordes of the undead begin to fill the streets, a group of 75 passing her with more to come. Her daughter alone four blocks away surrounded by the undead reaching for her with feral instinct for their next meal. Amy runs into the hordes fighting to reach her daughter when gunfire rings out, the undead dropping rapidly. All logic had been eclipsed by a fierce, blind determination to save her child. Rescued for now they are taken to a massive, abandoned building, hundreds of survivors existing together with the mutual desire to live. An old childhood friend, Marcus, is there and Amy and Lila finally have a true moment to relax and rest. Three days to evacuate before bombs drop on the astronomical number of undead spreads throughout the city, the promise of a save location to wait out the apocalypse in the mountains and the hopes of a cure soon.
The promise of hope from her friend, the unwavering reality that the undead were once people. The details the author gives makes you see the images in your mind, description of an undead “Remnants of chipped, red polish speckled one lone nail on the left hand.” The living, the dead, and the undead were once all a person with dreams, and a story. Will Amy be able to protect the one good thing she has in her life; or will they both become a lost footnote in history.
Fighting to stay alive and trying to protect the one thing you hold dear in all the world but that world has turned into a vicious dark world of survival and the unexpected.
Necrosis is a quick intriguing read that is action-packed and an emotional read. It will break your heart and warm it at the same time. I was glued to the pages finishing it in one sitting. I have read all of CL’s work and I have enjoyed them all and was excited to see she had a new book out. I think this is one of her best works.
A zombie apocalypse, a mother’s love, sacrifice and redemption and lots of nail-biting suspense.
This gripping tale is a must read if you love things a little dark and zombies.
Amy just wants her daughter to survive, no matter what. During a zombie apocalypse, they venture into town and get met with all kinds of challenges. Amy is all about protecting Lila, who is only nine years old. On the hunt for food, water, and shelter, they end up surrounded by a zombie horde. Luck is on their side, and they find refuge. But once again, things go downhill and fast. Will a mother’s love for her child be enough to save her or will her daughter not see what all she has given up for her? This was a quick but excellent read. I absolutely loved the story. It truly proves how far a mother is willing to go to protect the ones she loves.

What another incredible book by one of my favourite authors. Everything this author writes is just amazing and this book is right up there with some of the best. I was engrossed in this book immediately and had to read it all in one sitting. I wanted to see how things would turn out, what would happen to the characters. The book is exciting and gripping, I was pulled into it from page one. This author never fails to write a book that hits the mark perfectly. I love her writing style and how each book is always different from the last. This book is fantastic and an absolute must read
What a wonderful and emotional horror novella to start out the spooky season. This is a very quick paced read. If zombies or skin things are a trigger for you be warned! Lila and her mother Amy are some of the last left alive after an outbreak hits. This is descriptive in all the right ways and I cannot wait to see what other horror ideas come from this author.
I have been a long time fan of this author for quite some time, they have a gift of bringing everything that they write to life. I love how the visual words by this author are always perfectly done, and everything from the characters and setting of the story comes to life right before your eyes!
This book alone, was impossible to put down as well as stop reading book. The book is a fast and quick read, but the book itself is nothing short of being purely epic. The book had a lot of action, and suspense that kept me wanting to know more. Great descriptive words and uses as always by this author. As usual, the author had a way with how they wrote the book! I very much enjoy it. I kept flipping pages and wanting to know more. This book alone had become one of my personal favorites by this author! Loved it!
This book was full of intrigue and suspense. The writing was gripping and was a real treat for the eyes to envision! Without a doubt, a must read! not one to be passed by any means! I highly recommend it!
I enjoyed reading this book. This is an author that I have loved reading from the first book I picked up by her. I enjoy her writing skills as well as her attention to details that make her stories realistic. Her characters are unique and creative. This book is no different. It is a creative journey that kept me coming back for more. This is a shorter story that certainly packs a punch with adventure. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their story with ease. They have great growth as well as the plot throughout the story. This is an easy and entertaining story to read. I really enjoyed this new book by this author. I highly recommend this book and this author.
This is not your usual zombie apocalypse book. It’s also a story of redemption and mother/daughter love. There is no stronger love than sacrificing yourself to rescue your daughter from a buried subway and possible zombies. I found the story so intriguing that I couldn’t put it down. I had to spend every free minute reading it to find out what happened next. The action, drama and romance is wonderful in this story. Such a well-written story, this the best zombie story I have read in a long time. The characters are well-developed and well-thought out. The ending throws me for a loop but soo, soo very good. You have to read this book. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.
