After traveling the country in hopes of reaching the sanctuary of home, Rowan finds herself in a world turned upside down. Her parents are gone, and she’s surrounded by people she barely knows, and the only refuge she’s ever known is anything but safe. Zombies have taken over not just her hometown, but the rest of the world as well, and now she must work with fellow survivors, Devon and Kiaya, to find a way to survive this strange new world.
Too bad the extinction of civilization hasn’t erased the complications of everyday life. Between learning to survive in a world overtaken by the dead and struggling to work through her grief over losing everything, Rowan must navigate her growing attraction for Devon, as well as deal with her suspicion that something isn’t right with some of their fellow survivors.
Just when she thinks she has a hold on the emotional rollercoaster of this new world, someone from her past makes a surprise – and unwanted – reentry into her life, bringing with them a seed of hope that threatens to once again flip everything upside down.

Well, Kate L. Mary you’ve done it to me again!! I’m sitting here again speechless after finishing Far From Safe. I thought I was speechless when Far From Home ended but I was even more so mind blown this time around. 


If you haven’t read Far From Home then stop and go back and read it before you open this book. This isn’t a standalone and can’t be as one!!


We pick up exactly where we left off. Rowan has finally made it home and in time to see her poor mom walking down the block with the rest of the neighbors who’ve all passed and are now zombies. With no word from her father in weeks, Rowan is positive he passed away while working at the hospital. She’s lost her parents and is devastated but she must keep going or she won’t make it. 


Rowan, Devon, Kiaya, Lisa and Buck must figure out what’s next for them. Bc, it’s not just themselves they gotta look out for. As much as Rowan wants to stay locked up in her childhood home and hide, they’re running low on supplies and not hidden away safely and there’s zombies surrounding them. 


The group comes up with a good starting plan. Check out Rowan’s neighbors houses for two things 1-survivors and 2-supplies. Grab as much as possible that they can use. Then, head to the stores and stock up on everything else. Afterwards, they gotta figure out where they can go to that’ll keep their group together and safe. Rowan has one other thing on her list of things to do: bury her mom but she’s keeping that to herself for now. 


Things definitely aren’t easy in times like this. You gotta be on guard 110% of the time.  BC, at any minute a zombie can pop up outta nowhere and attack. Then there’s the chance you bump into somebody who’s not dead but they’re far from a good person. 


While out on a supply run they come across zombies but when they do bump into humans Rowan was shocked she knew one of the living. It was her ex Doug and Rowan definitely wasn’t happy to see him. She was glad he wasn’t dead but didn’t wanna see him lol. 


When Doug and his crew invite Rowan and her friends to join them at the school they’re at none of them are totally sure it’s the right decision. They know it’s safer then where they’re at now. When they get there they’re even more unsure them before. Before they can really figure out their next choice they find themselves in real trouble and Rowan throws herself head first into the lions den with some dangerous lions. 


I felt so many emotions reading this. My heart pounded so many times. I kept hoping and praying nothing happened to Rowan, Devon, Kiaya and Lisa every time they left the house.  


Miller is still a tool. He’s a complete jerk and my gut is telling me he’s lying about who he really is. Never really had an issue with Hank before but now I’m getting creeper vibes of him. 


I liked Buck from the beginning. But, now he’s showing another side to him and I wasn’t sure how it was gunna turn into. When he told Rowan his story and what made him into what he was OMG I was laying in bed crying and feeling for him and didn’t blame him. 


Now we have Doug back in Rowan’s life. I totally 100% understood why she felt the way she did towards him. Shoot I have some ex’s who have done me wrong so I get it. I don’t know how it’s gunna be with him yet. But, he seems like a good guy. He proved himself with a few things so far that chipped a few notches in his favor. 


When I read Rowan’s moms letter I was legit bawling right along next to Rowan. I don’t know  if I would’ve survived after reading a letter like that from my mom. I’m just saying. 


I’m excited for the next book after the explosive cliffhanging ending!! I’m gunna need Devon and Doug to man up, team together and put their heads together and get Rowan outta the horrible mess she got herself into. Please guys!!
