The Last Days

The Last Days by Scott Westerfeld, 286 pages

“Strange things are happening: old friends disappearing, angels (or devils) clambering on the fire escapes of New York City. But for Pearl, Moz, and Zahler, all that matters is the band. As the city reels under a mysterious epidemic, the three combine their talents with a vampire lead singer and a drummer whose fractured mind can glimpse the coming darkness. Will their music stave off the end? Or summon it? Set against the gritty apocalypse that began in Peeps , The Last Days is about five teenagers who find themselves creating the soundtrack for the end of the world.” It took me a while to start reading Westerfeld’s books but I doubt that I’ll ever stop at this point.  This one is definitely more on the science fiction and horror side and teens who like those genres will love this.
