When the world ends, can love survive?
For Scarlet, raising her two daughters alone makes fighting for tomorrow an everyday battle. Nathan has a wife, but can’t remember what it’s like to be in love; only his young daughter Zoe makes coming home worthwhile. Miranda’s biggest concern is whether her new VW Bug is big enough to carry her sister and their boyfriends on a weekend escape from college finals.
When reports of a widespread, deadly “outbreak” begin to surface, these ordinary people face extraordinary circumstances and suddenly their fates are intertwined. Recognizing they can’t outrun the danger, Scarlet, Nathan, and Miranda desperately seek shelter at the same secluded ranch, Red Hill. Emotions run high while old and new relationships are tested in the face of a terrifying enemy—an enemy who no longer remembers what it’s like to be human.
Set against the backdrop of a brilliantly realized apocalyptic world, love somehow finds a way to survive. But what happens when the one you’d die for becomes the one who could destroy you?
Red Hill grabs you from page one and doesn’t let go until its stunning conclusion. This is #1 New York Times bestselling author Jamie McGuire at her unforgettable best.

From Booklist
When a very ill young woman shows up in the ER after being bitten by a stranger, nurse Scarlet realizes the news reports she’s been listening to about a mysterious epidemic taking hold in other parts of the world has struck close to home, and it’s no ordinary virus. That’s right, some scientist was finally smart enough to figure out how to make zombies but not smart enough to contain an outbreak. Nathan gets the news as he’s picking his daughter up from elementary school, and he races home to find that his wife has selected a very bad day to run off. College student Miranda thinks the worst thing that can happen is missing out on her weekend plans, but her road trip is about to take a decidedly different turn. These three strangers end up on the run together, looking for a safe place to wait out the end of the world in this fast-paced apocalyptic tale. Contemporary romance novelist McGuire effortlessly switches genres with this novel, giving readers plenty of satisfying backstory and well-constructed characters. She even tosses in a love story. --Rebecca Vnuk
Review
“A fast-paced apocalyptic tale… McGuire effortlessly switches genres with this novel, giving readers plenty of satisfying backstory and well-constructed characters." (Booklist)
"Spooky, gripping, and relentlessly tense." (Closer Magazine (UK), 4 out of 5 stars)
"This hauntingly evocative tale had me on the edge of my seat as I gasped, cried, and cheered. Set against a barren, post-apocalyptic landscape, Red Hill is a true testament to Jamie McGuire’s skill as a storyteller. You’ll love every heart-pounding minute of it." (Tracey Garvis Graves, New York Times bestselling author of On the Island and Covet )
“Once you get inside Travis Maddox's head, you won't want to leave.” (Colleen Hoover, New York Times bestselling author of Slammed )

Gripping, action-packed and character-driven.
By Cheshire Cat
The book blurb summary is adequate enough to give you an idea of what this book is about. There has been an "outbreak," which quickly sweeps over the world spreading pandemonium wherever it goes. Time is of the essence, you only have the resources that are around you, and if you're not quick on your feet and use your head, you'll be dead. To me, the action and the storyline felt very current. Typically these stories feel like, well, stories. Stories told from the future or an alternative world, frequently with some supernatural element to them. RED HILL felt realistic, like it could happen today or tomorrow, particularly with its man-made infection. I was also impressed that Jamie could fit so much in a standalone. Typically, the zombie-type books I've read are a minimum three-book series, some more. For her to fit a complete story into one book, and not make it feel rushed, really impressed me.
Besides the story, the characters were a big draw for me. The use of three different POVs to tell the story really worked for me. This was particularly effective in seeing how everything came together, and Jamie seemed to bring things together brilliantly. There was also a wide range of other characters, diverse personality-wise more than racially, and outside of having a soldier in the mix, most weren't stuck in your typical category boxes.
First we have Scarlet, divorced, single mom with two daughters. Like Scarlet, I work in a hospital, and I could completely imagine what was happening around her, and how alone I would feel being separated from my family, and surrounded by the sickest of the sick. Her deep love for her daughters was obvious, and her dilemma was heart-breaking. I may not have agreed with all the decisions she made, but her passion for her children was unquestionable. Scarlet is a fierce mama bear. She was also a very strong female character. It was refreshing to have a woman take charge and not feel like she had to rely on anyone else. But on the other hand, we also get to see her softer side as well, and how a certain someone gave her renewed hope. But can she truly find happiness in this new world if she can't have what she truly wants?
Next we have Nathan, husband and father, in a crumbling marriage, trying to do the best he can for his daughter. I loved Nathan. Once again we see a parent who is fiercely protective of his child. And for once we have a guy who isn't some pushy know-it-all alpha male. Now, alpha males are super fun to read about, but not always necessary, and this was one perfect example. What I loved about Nathan's POV is that we get the flip-side of apocalyptic tragedy and what it meant for Nathan when he no longer had to live the life he had before.
Our final perspective is from Miranda, traveling with her sister and their boyfriends. Miranda was a mixed bag for me. I found her POV really interesting and the clues we're given early on about her make her later conflicts make sense. On one hand I was bothered by her actions, and on the other hand I felt awful about her situation and how stuck she was, no choice being a good choice. Here Jamie did a great job trying to put you into the head of someone whose issues were not an easy fix.
There was continuous action and suspense throughout most of the novel. I was gripped from the prologue and my heart felt like it was racing to the last page. There were heart-breaking moments of loss, and I got teary-eyed a few times. This wasn't an everyone-gets-out-alive story. There's death and despair and difficult decisions to be made. There are also some uncomfortable and horrible topics covered beyond the zombies, and unfortunately it was also realistic and relevant to our society, which made it all the more awful. But Jamie handled everything with care.
There is also romance, but I would not categorize it as heavily sexual (though there is some sex), just romantic, and more so in the second half. But what is predominant more than just romantic love is the love of family, particularly the love of a parent to a child (whether blood-related or not). The love of your child is a strong theme and makes the reader not only see what some of these characters would do for their children, but also cause the reader to question what choices and actions they would have made in a similar situation. I really admire Jamie making the love story in this book more than just the love between adults.
Bottomline: RED HILL is a well-written, attention-grabbing, action-packed, "zombie" apocalypse ride-for-your-life, filled with heartbreak and hope, romance and familial love, and felt like it could take place right outside my heavily-barricaded, shotgun-protected door, and I loved it. It gripped me from the start and held on strong, combining the suspense and action of a "zombie" outbreak with a realistic and current setting, and characters demonstrating the different perspectives of what this situation would do to someone. I also loved the strong themes of perseverance, love, family, and hope amongst tragedy. Well done, Ms. McGuire!

A Different Zombie Novel that Packs a Punch
By Jo Michaels
I saw this title was released when it appeared in a weekly meme on Heather's Book Chatter and just knew I had to pick up a copy. I loved Beautiful Disaster and couldn't imagine a book that held my attention as much as that one did. Obviously, Ms. McGuire could. I ran out and grabbed a copy of Red Hill from Amazon, only to devour it in one sitting. Time to move on to my review!
From a reader's perspective:
Holy moly, what can I say? This isn't your typical squishing of zombie heads kind of novel. Rather than focusing on the terror that would consume the planet if zombies rose, this one looked at the human element and the fallout of a disaster of this magnitude. When the whole world goes to crap, what are people thinking? What would they do for survival? Red Hill delves deeply into what makes people tick during a crisis, and shows how they can rise up and be more than they ever thought they could. Some of the horrible things that happen during times of upset are brought to light, and the evil that lives inside some people is waved under your nose like a smelly rag. I found myself punching the air a number of times, and wondering how in the hell Ms. McGuire could describe two people in the story I could relate with so strongly (Scarlet and Nathan). I was kept sitting on the edge of my seat, biting my nails, and sobbing like a little girl. One of the things I love about Jamie McGuire's writing is her ability to not go on tangents with description; there's just enough so I can paint the scene and the characters in my own head.
From an editor's perspective:
One or two misused words (peak rather than peek), but everything else was brilliant.
My rating:
+1 Star for giving me awesome zombie action
+1 Star for those well-rounded characters I felt for
+1 Star for great pacing and perfect word painting
+1 Star for making me cry and showing truth
+1 Star for the level of most excellent editing found in this book
Overall, 5 out of 5 stars! I'd give it ten if I could. Recommended to anyone who loves a nail-biter that will leave you with a book hangover because you were sad it came to an end.

Head for the hill!
By Julie Solorio
Review for Red Hill by Jamie McGuire
5 stars
Powerful, thought provoking, frightening, emotional and riveting. I would use all of these words to describe Red Hill by Jamie McGuire. McGuire hit a home run with this book. Not the kind of book that made me want to doodle Mrs. Maddox all over everything but excellent nonetheless. It was so very realistic, even while talking about the zombie apocalypse. I felt the fear, the hopelessness, the relief, the sadness, the determination, the terror, the confusion, the passion and the hope that these characters felt. Great Books can transport us to different worlds and I was definitely a resident of Red Hill for a few days.
Scarlett is a mother of two girls and is a tech at a hospital. After surviving living with a constantly angry man and having to protect her girls from that anger, Scarlett is used to a tough life. When the world she knows come crashing down around her, she has to stay safe in order to get to her girls who were picked up just before hell broke loose by their father.
"It's incredible, the way the imagination can physically affect the body. My heart rate had doubled, and I was beginning to sweat. The more my fear crept up, the more I kept reminding myself that my girls needed me. They were probably scared to death, and no matter what happened or what state they were in, I wanted to be with them." -Scarlett
Nathan's wife has just left him and their young daughter. He saw it coming but with a daughter that doesn't take change well and sometimes has episodes that can be consuming he has to fight harder than ever to be strong for himself and his little girl.
"I settled back into my seat, trying to play off my fear. Watching a movie about zombies is one thing. Watching zombies outside your window was another. The movies didn't talk about that. Well . . . maybe they did, but they didn't drive home how terrifying each moment truly was. I tried not to think about tomorrow, or that we would still be fighting for our lives every day from now on. I glanced back at Zoe, and choked back the sadness welling up in my throat. I didn't want her to grow up in a world like this." - Nathan
Miranda is a college girl with a cute VW bug. Not exactly the ideal vehicle for surviving a zombie invasion but Miranda is used to taking charge and fighting through what life throws at her. How will these strangers lives intersect as the world crumbles to the ground?
"I wasn't sure which old couple in the pictures were the owners of the home, but I liked them. The home they left behind made me feel safe, the love they left behind hopeful. The strangers in the pictures were fighting their own battle to survive like we were, and probably making their way to each other, too. At least that was what I wanted to believe. The wind picked up, moving the house just enough for the moaning to begin again. It was eerie, like the groans of the dead ones when they noticed prey and got excited about the prospect of feeding. Other than that, the night was quiet." -Miranda
These people along with their friends, some family, and even a couple strangers picked up as allies along the way are in the fight of their lives. They are witnessing horrors they have never imagined, they have to survive and adapt minute by minute. They are dealing with loss on a larger scale than they can comprehend. They are all making their way to a place they believe they can be safe. For Miranda it is her dad's ranch. For Scarlett it's a ranch she cleaned for a doctor she worked with. For Nathan it's a place he heard of that was out of the way enough to be safe according to some nice strangers he befriended along the way. They are all headed to Red Hill.
There are many twists and turns awaiting the alive as they fight to get to Red Hill in one piece. Some will find love and some stand to lose it all. In this new world, even the strong don't always survive. Are you brave enough to ride the road to Red Hill?
I loved this book! It had such rich characters and such a nice mix of suspense, romance, raw emotion and scariness. The scariness was dominant at times. I usually read late at night and sitting in my bed reading this book one night my phone pinged an email notification...and scared the crap out of me! I am such a wuss but this book being emerged in the world of Red Hill definitely had me a bit on edge. That being said, I would do it all over again.
