The old world is dead, and humanity struggles to survive in the shadows of the new one. Kyle, Sara, and Tim are scavengers, hiding in the remains of human civilization from the hungry things that destroyed it. Living on the few items that haven’t rotted in the thirteen years since civilization was wiped out.

I'm always in the search for well-written zombie apocalypse books with a great plot, and I finally found one! I loved reading about Kyle, Tim and Sara as they are on the quest for survival. These characters were so amazing- so raw and unpredictable and their interactions with a new character was so intriguing. There is so much action and the blyte sounds so creepy.

Highly recommend this one!

For fans of the Hunger Games and the Forest of Hands and Teeth. A new take and the now tired post apocalptyic teen saviour genre. Well written with a twist, this may save the genre and allow it to live a bit longer yet.

This was a fascinating book to read. I have always been a fan of this genre, so I was excited to dive into this one. The story flowed nicely, the plot was interesting and captivating and the characters were unique. I probably would not recommend this book for younger audiences due to some of the violent scenes, but I think teens would really enjoy it!

One of the best YA dystopians I've read since Hunger Games. Strong, resilient, female characters. Excellent world crafting. The "infected" are scary but remain hidden, which adds that bit of mystery and unknown fear. The pace of the novel was perfect, if not anxiety inducing.

I loved this book so much! I loved the characters and the world! I would and have recommended this book to all my friends.

Kids into "end of the world", dystopian fiction are sooo going to enjoy this story. It's got lots of good bits in it the kids will love! 6th grade up.

I fell in love with this book's cover and immediately requested it from NetGalley after I read the blurb and came to know that it was a zombie-type dystopian story. It wasn't bad, it was just too predictable (not the part where the zombies turn out to be aliens or something but otherwise it was all too predictable.) Overall the characterization felt weak but I'm giving 3 stars for the pacing, it was pretty good and kept me reading in spite of these flaws.

I tried getting into this book, but it was a DNF for me. Just not my kind of genre. I would rather not leave a review on retail sites. The book is written in a good way, but I couldn't get into the story.

What?? This book is AMAZING! I am a huge fan of end of the world type stories and this one just blew my mind! I wish I hadn't waited so long to pick this one up. I don't often re-read books, but this is one that I most certainly will...and that says everything to anyone who knows me and my reading habits.

This is not my genre, but WOW! I'm glad I ventured out. Action from start to finish. Not sure any other zombie book is going to live up to this one, maybe I should stop while I'm ahead.

In a post apocalyptic world, a group of people are looking for food for themselves and their comrades. Kyle, Sara and Tim are searching for food when they come across a young girl named Kaylee. The group that Kaylee came is dead including her mother. They were killed by the monsters that now roam the world. Kaylee tells them that her mother told her to go to a group of people that will help her. Kyle, Sara and Tim decide to take Kaylee with them. Will they survive?

This is an incredible action pack story even though the action is slow--it doesn't feel slow.i was so involved in the novel, I didn't want to stop reading. There are a few surprises in the novel which only kept me more engaged.

This book was a very readable dystopian tale, where the characters are among the last surviving humans. Through a series of events, they become involved in taking a perilous journey to a place no one really believes exists.
I loved the characters. I felt close to most not long after I met them. However, I do wish we had a little more information regarding how the spooky characters got that way precisely. Additionally, I saw some value to the use of flashbacks at the start of the novel, but they became distracting after about 25% of the story. I understand that it's a tool, and I know its intent; nevertheless, I feel the book would have been tighter, neater, more concise, had the author chosen to stay "minimalist" with respect to how much background info he provided us.
I've never been a huge fan of zombie apocalypse stuff but it's kind of like that, minus the zombies. There's a couple of "infected" so there's a zombie-like element but most of the dangerous creatures in the book are much worse, terrifying monsters. I am so glad I read this book. It had fabulous descriptions and imagery. I highly recommend to anyone looking for some action, gore, and adventure.

The cover is what drew me in, creepy + innocence will get me every time. Unfortunately, I had a very difficult time engaging with the book because of the high number of short flashbacks/psychic visions/internal monologues that broke up the flow of the book and pulled me out of the story as I worked to figure out what was going on.

Never judge a book by its cover, right?
That's the mistake I made here. All That Remains wasn't nearly what I expected, yet it did not disappoint, if that makes any sense. Luckily I am a huge fan of the Resident Evil series in all of its glorious forms. This seems like an in-depth alternative take on the same genre.
All Barrera does a beautiful job of drawing on tough outer exteriors of regular people thrust into a terrible situation and delving into the beautiful vulnerability of what is left of humanity.
That being said--the ending was a bit predictable, however well done. Thank you for the opportunity to read something that I might not have otherwise.

I really enjoyed this book. It was an interesting take on the dystopian novel, mixing in a little horror with the strange creatures. I will definitely be adding this to my collection!

I really liked this book. It was different from any dystopian books I've read before. I would highly recommend it

All That Remains is a dystopian horror following Kyle, Tim and Sara 13 years after the apocalypse. After finding young girl Kaylee, they need to get to Oak Ridge to protect themselves and maybe save the world.

There's normal reanimated human zombies, but also other monster like creatures that roam the earth. All That Remains is able to describe the monsters, make them horrifying, yet not interrupt the plotline to do so. In previous books I've been pulled out of a tense moment because there's too much description, but Barrera is able to bypass that problem.

There's varying themes of hope and morality within the book. All four of our characters experience hope, and lose hope throughout the book. Whether it's hope to find more people, hope that cities are inhabitable or just hope for survival. Because of this focus, I felt attached to the characters. Even when they were being pessimistic, they still didn't give up. 

Morality is a fine line in this new world. You must kill to survive at times, but is it the right thing to do? If you kill a bad person does it make you just as bad? One of the lines mentioned that right is nothing but a direction anymore which I think is relevant to the book as a whole. 

As we get to see the point of views of both Sara and Kyle you do feel attached to them. The characters are extremely likable, even when they're not being the best they can be. They don't consciously make bad decisions which puts them in danger, which makes me route for them more. Although problems do arise due to accidents or it's out of their control.

Sara in particular is a great character. She shows both mental and physical strength by not only surviving 13 years but also with her mental fight with 'the walking cancer'. The walking cancer is a monster that no one has ever seen before. It's a new, worse monster in the world, and the main bulk of the book is spent running and hiding from it.  Due to Sara being a scanner she can sense and also connect/talk with the monster.  

The plague-like spread of zombies and natural disasters mirrors that Kyle is ill throughout the book. It's implied that it's a cancerous tumor, most likely in the brain due to headaches and blackouts. As the situation for the group gets worse, the illness gets worse. I think Barrera was definitely trying to show the similarities. There's also a underlying message of having hope throughout which I think is an important takeaway.

This was great - it's a new take on a pretty familiar story, and really well written to boot.

We enter the story sometime after the apocalypse has taken place, and clearly humanity has been hit hard. There's not a lot of build-up before we're right into the action, and we follow our band of survivors from temporary bolt-hole to temporary bolt-hole as they desperately try to remain survivors.

I've read a lot of apocalyptic fiction, and this is definitely one of the better offerings around. It's a quick, entertaining read, and while I'd be interested to read further if it became a series, it also stands alone well.

MY FAVOURITE FANTASY/DYSTOPIAN EVER!!! Should I put more words into it? Because this is the best reading ever!!

You're talking about zombie apocalypse definitely you should pick this book and man, READ it! I guarantee you're going to hook into this book right from the beginning.

The plot is very interesting!
