The Other Life by Susanne Winnacker

From Goodreads
Sherry and her family have lived sealed in a bunker in the garden since things went wrong up above. Her grandfather has been in the freezer for the last three months, her parents are at each other’s throats and two minutes ago they ran out of food.
Sherry and her father leave the safety of the bunker and find a devastated and empty LA, smashed to pieces by bombs and haunted by ‘Weepers’ - rabid humans infected with a weaponized rabies virus.
While searching for food in a supermarket, Sherry’s father disappears and Sherry is saved by Joshua, a boy-hunter. He takes her to Safe-haven, a tumble-down vineyard in the hills outside LA, where a handful of other survivors are picking up the pieces of their ‘other lives’. As she falls in love for the first time, Sherry must save her father, stay alive and keep Joshua safe when his desire for vengeance threatens them all.

This sounds really unique!
Here are my WoW selections for this week.
Okay i'm glad i clicked on your link because this book looks amazing, shame about the publication date though :(.
Interesting post-apocalyptic YA. It sounds like an antidote to all the angel-vampire-werewhatever romance stuff out there.
This book sounds interesting. Great pick!

I haven't heard of this one, but it definitely seems like something I would like to try out. Great pick!
I agree this sounds so good! Already added it to my to-read list :)
That butterfly with blood drops and shadow images inside it is pretty ingenious by the way!
