Product Description
Product Description
Jasmine has spent five years underground, locked in a secret government bunker with no one but the skeletons of her colleagues for company. Outside, the world has gone to hell, a mysterious virus killing all but one in 20 of the world's population. It's enough to drive anyone mad - but Jasmine's crazier than most. The cure she was working on had an unexpected side effect: psychotic symptoms which only the most powerful drugs can suppress. Jasmine's quest to find a cure draws her across the fractured continent of America and into the darkest recesses of her past.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I enjoyed this book but did find it quite strange that this follow up to "Culled" was written by a different author with an all together style. Apart from quite frequent comments about the hero of the last book this could have even been a stand alone story. I must admit though that this is a very enjoyable read and again shows how humanity can slip to barbarity so easilly. I found the characters good and there even was a few twists at the end which i must admit i didnt see coming. To summarise a cracking book from the "Culled" world if not a true follow up, if you enjoy post apocoliptic stories you will not be disappionted.
Format:Kindle Edition
'Kill or Cure' remains my favourite Rebecca Levine novel because it's so ridiculously action-packed, with plenty of humour and grim slapstick to offset the rolling violence. It's less relentlessly macho than 'The Culled' (the first in the Afterblight Chronicles series) but all the more skilful for it, as the leading character repeatedly dodges death without being a complete psycho. In many ways, it's a better pulp novel because it's got a bit of everything crammed into it: an apocalyptic backstory, fast action, black humour, zombies, religious cults, mad scientists, gratuitous lesbian sex... and an open ending ripe for a sequel (please!)

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is the first review I've written.
The book is well written and seams to have a good story with some surprising twists, but sadly fails to do as well as the first novel did.
WARNING!!! DO NOT READ THE FOLLOWING AS IT CONTAINS SPOILERS.
If you are expecting a continuation of the first novel "The Culled" featuring its main male character in it then you are in for a disappointment. "Kill or Cure" is told from the main female character "Jasmine's" point of view (who is mentioned in the first novel) with the character of "The Culled" not appearing in this novel; only when mentioned by the lead character.
The problem with "kill or Cure" is that because it is not written by the same author of the first novel, much elements and aspects such as the Religious order that controls much of the world are not mentioned in the book and we are introduced too a new ruling orders that control other parts of the world. The only thing from the first book that's in this novel is the disease itself that has devastated the world.
The chapters appear to be far longer than the first novel due to the different writing style of its author. The lead female character I found did not interest me as well as the one in the first novel. Also her relationship contradicts that of what it was in the first novel. She goes from being his girlfriend as it was implied in "The Culled" too being his wife in the second.
However, despite this "Kill or Cure" is still worth reading.
