This book is ridiculous. You know it's ridiculous, because the synopsis throws our protagonist in with a rock star in a zombie apocalypse. It is, in fact, even more so: the heroine winds up with a bizarrely loyal lioness following her around, wanders through Las Vegas, etc etc etc. The rock star falls in love with her (of course), there are conveniently fueled cars whenever they need them (of course), the heroine is capable of black-belt-level hand-to-hand combat with zombies (of course)... it's just all completely over the top. And y'know, as a power fantasy? as something that was probably fun to write and is fun for some people to read? that's totally fine. It's not what I'd call a good book, but it's far from toxic the way a lot of mainstream YA is, so I'm not gonna rag on it too hard. It's silly, and tbh that's okay.

(the one thing that really bugged me, though, was the geography - as someone who lives in the Western US, it was all wrong. The amount of territory they crossed, the descriptions of it - it all rang totally false. Obviously Ms. Hocking doesn't live out here, buuuuut if she wants to use it as a setting, it would behoove her to do some more research.)
