About this listen
Since childhood Nila Carter has been made to spend every weekend at the family cabin. In her teenage years she believes it to be a prison; as an adult it becomes her sanctuary and means to survive.
When a mysterious outbreak occurs in India, Nila's brother, Bobby, a virologist with the CDC, places the family on a precautionary alert to be ready to bug out. Unlike anything he's ever seen, the rabies-like virus is not just deadly; it causes extreme violent behavior in those infected. Following her brother's advice, Nila begins to stockpile.
After months of preparing, just as it seems the virus is over, everything implodes, and Bobby tells his family to leave the city. With her family, Nila heads to the mountains and to her father's isolated land. There she is eventually joined by friends and strangers, all hoping to safely stay clear of the virus that grips the world. The plan is to wait until the virus burns out.
While there, the group forms a tight bond, feeling secure that they will beat the extinction event and in due course return home. As time moves on, Nila quickly learns there are things they cannot run from, and a virus is one of them. Despite how prepared they are, how secure the land, each day brings a new threat and a painful reality that not only is returning home a pipe dream, but the likelihood of all of them surviving is increasingly growing slim.

Bewitching
My Dead World narration was an entertaining, dramatic and suspenseful work which I immensely enjoyed.

Great end of days
I love a good apocalypse/end of days story, and this did not disappoint. Great characters, and easy to listen to storyline.

Excellent.
This isn't a run of the mill zombie apocalypse. Notably things there aren't any real 'bad guys' in it. In fact, that's what makes it so great. It's real, it's heart breaking, and it's filled with characters you will really come to respect as they navigate a nightmare. Just a really good story.

Great Story-Worth the Time!
Now I have finished listening this I am torn between reading the second in eBook or waiting in hopeful anticipation that the audible version will be released in Australia ASAP!
I enjoyed listening to this story so much that I listened as much as I could - in the shower, the bath, cooking dinner, making school lunches ect and before I knew it I was finished. So sad.
I will get the second book - the story compels me to find out what happened.

This had me on the edge of me seat
I initially downloaded it as it was free didn't read the blurb past a few words or test the narrator I just jumped right in blind and this book has exceeded my expectations. The main character is relatable and I like where the narrator took the story introducing things as it was needed.
Give it a go if you like the zombie genre
Stop here ye be spoilers ahead
I sobbed like a little baby for the main character deaths in this. They were well written and I didn't think the author dragged on. I was so so sad when the dog died and clutched my poor dog while he was trying to sleep. I have the additional books on my wishlist for when I get through a few titles. I also may just relisten to this book as I liked the logic put into the way they handled taking insider info and the world falling apart

Barely 3 stars
Many plot holes, contradictions and silliness. Zero concept of infection control. Definitely not getting book 2

We are the life itself
The last part is very emotional and meaningfully to survive, Grave is Life because it is a reminder of people we love. The cabin is still stand but the world is dead. Still we are alive. Just like the situation we are all in today. Life must go on. Find survivors, find life and most of all, we are Life! Book 2 of "My Dead World" is waving!

good book
the main character is at times ,in my opinion, dumb.....gets me frustrated with these sorts of people in real life too.....so, having said that, good job by the author for the story and it was a good narrative too....so since I got this as an 'INCLUDED ' book, I will buy the other 2......
