Leah Watton's practical joke has spiralled way out of control-all to impress a crush... With a prank online video, Leah hopes to catch the attention of Jake Colton, a cute, blond-haired, blue-eyed co-worker she's had a crush on for months. But instead of sending it to Jake, she manages to forward the clip to her boss-who buys every gory second. When mass panic ensues, Leah learns the video is more than a staged act... The government is calling the virus AM13. As the outbreak spreads, citizens are forced to stay indoors while they assess the gravity of the illness. Most people are quarantined in their homes, but Leah, Jake, and Leah's best friend Michelle are some of the unlucky few who are stuck at work when the Lockdown occurs. That's where she first encounters one of the infected... Aside from a contaminated woman devouring one of her co-workers, Leah has another problem. Does she do as she's ordered and stay at work? Or should she disobey government orders and break free to reunite with her family? She can't go it alone-after all, Leah has none of the skills needed to survive-but with Michelle and Jake by her side, not even a contagious virus and a sea of the dead can keep her from... Breaking out of the Lockdown...

Well, it‘s official. All media were just hit with this message. As important as it is for people to stay home and stop the spread, I‘m finding this very unsettling. Worse than when we were just afraid to leave the house for fear of being infected. Being forbidden from being outside is just freaking me out a bit. That said, I hope that all of you are doing ok and staying safe. Thanks for the listen and this beautiful community 💜

MsMelissa I won‘t be surprised if a curfew happens here (Ontario), too. Our premier had been hinting at more restrictions, as the current lockdown isn‘t doing much. At least the curfew doesn‘t start until 8pm - but I agree it would feel strange to be prohibited to even leave your house! You‘ll need to cuddle up with a good book and a big cup of tea every evening. 3y
LeahBergen It just feels slightly surreal, doesn‘t it? 3y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I totally get that feeling. During our first shutdown in Alberta in the spring I never left the house & was so freaked out all the time. Then when I had to go back to work, it actually helped me feel less anxious by getting out of the house and interacting with the world again. Hopefully the curfew actually helps though. 3y

Lockdown is one of many in the post-apocalyptic subgenre that utilises disease as the source of the apocalypse. This book has a meandering, rambling quality. It is written first person, and at times, seemed very stream of consciousness. None of the characters had any real development at all. There is no strong hero or heroine arc, and sadly the ending is about what I expected.

*I received a free Kindle version from the author, and I am voluntarily giving an honest review.*

Leah is working in the media when she accidentally forwards an online video to her boss. The video purports to show people infected with a deadly virus but is it a hoax? The book got off to a slow start but by 40% of the way through it had hit its stride. The ending was good if not unexpected. Will definitely read the sequels. Rating:4/5.
