Oct 22, Nickle Love rated it really liked it Shelves: Originally posted in Night Owl Reads This is the first zombie-themed novel I've read and I'm proud to say that it didn't disappoint. It was full of action and suspense, and an even greater mystery that was barely answered when the story reached its end. I am left wondering what the big secret is, and how it will be resolved. I must learn more about this world. I love the cover, I even made it my Facebook profile photo. It's pretty creepy and I'm inexplicably drawn to it. I'm not a big fan of scary Originally posted in Night Owl Reads This is the first zombie-themed novel I've read and I'm proud to say that it didn't disappoint.
There's a glossary of terms in the beginning of the book, the author has created a world quite different from ours and it helped that she provided the glossary aside from describing some of the words used in the story. I liked that the main character, Wisteria, is unlike other female characters. She's average, more realistic, or I'd like to think she is based on the descriptions.
I also liked that she acknowledged the fact that there are far more important things to worry about than having an intimate relationship with a guy. That was a big plus for me. I love reading intimate and romantic scenes but sometimes in dystopian settings, it's like the characters forget that they are fighting for their lives, that was not the case in this book.
I liked the idea of the Family - or at least, I enjoyed reading about Bach. There's still much I do not understand about them, maybe we will know more in the next books, but they do seem like obnoxious beings - so full of themselves. It's a world I am very much interested in learning more about. Here's to hoping Bisi Leyton would write a spinoff or something.
The twist near the end caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting it to be that way I should have known! Guess I was fooled too. But it wasn't mentioned anywhere in the end though so I do not know what happened to that.
All in all, it had a great ending but presented more problems and questions than resolutions and answers. I will definitely wait on the second book and be on the lookout for more works by Bisi Leyton.

I won't tell much about the plot as it would be too spoilery, but let me tell you this. There's always something happening, something that makes you wanting to know what happens next. There is so much surprises and twists in this book that I lost count of them. It seems to me that every character has some secret of their own and will surprise you sooner or later. She's just a normal girl caught up in this dystopian world and she's a true kick-ass when in danger.
I feel like I could really relate to her. Bach, on the other hand, was full of mysteries. It was hard to understand him sometimes as we don't know much about Family until much later in the book. I really enjoyed this book, even though there were some minor things I had a problem with, I really did enjoy it. I can't wait to get my hands on Myopia which is the second book in Wisteria series.

The end of the book hints at all sorts of possibilities as to the origin of the virus and the possible implications of it for Wisteria's family.
So lots of good ideas here This book needed a good edit. There were lots of beginning writer mistakes which needed to be corrected. At times, the writing felt rushed, and at other times, very slow. The dialogue, in particular, was often frustrating for me because it was stilted and mechanical. I think there is a great storyline with that particular group, too, but as it was written, I had trouble understanding who they were and why they were important.
Bach comes off as a robot with PMS: When that happens once or twice, a reader chalks it up as an odd character trait, but when it happens in every scene Sound a bit harsh? It is, I admit. But this writer has so much potential! All it would take to be truly great with this story and its sequels, is to make a few tweaks in the editing department.
I would still recommend checking this book out and seeing what you think for yourself! Sep 21, Corina rated it liked it Recommends it for: Wisteria Like most books, I was drawn to Wisteria , because of the cover. There was something hauntingly beautiful about it that drew me in and created this picture in my head of a world at war type atmosphere. The color of her bright red dress against the background also caught my eye.
Sixteen year old Wisteria lives on the Isle of Smythe with her Mother and brother and it seems from the Wisteria Like most books, I was drawn to Wisteria , because of the cover. She works with her Mother as a tracker, a group of Isle citizens who track and store data about the biters in Norton and other places on the mainland.
The kids on the Isle are terrible to her and the way they treated her made me angry for her. The whole Isle were run by these army guys who rationed food and kept the biters off the Isle, or so we thought. This book is full of action and there is new information being thrown at you at every turn.
That woman drove me crazy. The great thing about Wisteria is it has a little bit of everything. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who likes Dystopia, paranormal romance type novels. Sep 14, Rute Canhoto rated it really liked it. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Foi uma lufada de ar fresco. The author has created a very successful doomsday scenario, in which the zombies are the worst nightmare of the few survivors. Bach is also interesting and I liked to see him fighting for Wisteria after overcoming his prejudices.
I admit I'd like to see them succeed as a couple, although I figure they should still find many obstacles on their way. I also suspect that Felip should return on that book, but I better not try to anticipate. With all this, of course I want to read the second volume.
In fact, "Wisteria" was a book that fell from the sky. It was a breath of fresh air. Innovative Online Blog Tours. Three young men of The Family: Bach, his close friend Enric, and the Steward Felip, live in the penthouse of a London tower which is one of the Family's safe houses, protected from the Infected, patiently waiting out their days till they can return home. All is well, if not exciting; until Bach encounters Wisteria, a tracker living on the Isle of Smythe, and saves her from an overrun of Infected.
The background is complex since the author must juggle more than two worlds including the histories of the cultures and the characters and the characters are enticing. Action fills the story, and the reader will end it looking forward to the next in the series. Aug 16, Amanda rated it it was amazing. I love this story!! Wisteria was a surprise hit for me and i recommend it to anyone that enjoys paranormal reading. Wisteria is about a young woman caught up in the aftermath of a zombie apcolypse.
She is in charge of helping hunt the zombies and monitor there whereabouts. She meets Bach,who is not fond of humans. He is a supernatural being with super speed and strength. The two of them form a bond that is unacceptable by both their families. A must read for all. At A Glance Wisteria was a zombie, alien, post-apocalyptic mind explosion. However, the writing wasn't great.
The Good The concept of Wisteria is what drew me to this book. I am so there. But I never expected the lengths this book went. I was sickened, excited, and terrified with every word, every page. I never knew what to expect next. I love a book that can keep me guessing.
The world Wisteria lives in is horrifying. The world is overrun with zombies, an infection that has only missed a few small communities that the remaining survivors have put together. And though zombies should be the number one fear, Wisteria has other problems. The community she lives in is run by the strongest and smartest, and they get to do whatever they want to the rest of the community without repercussions. Wisteria is close to the bottom rung of the social order, even though she is a tracker, someone who observes the zombies and patrols the surrounding areas.

I found it so hard to watch Wisteria be repeatedly belittled and abused by her community. I was actually happy when she was left to fend for herself on the outside. I respected Wisteria for her strength and endurance. This girl never gets a break but she lives her life the best she can. The trials she goes through on the outside were gruesome, but through it all she kept her friends safe and did what was right, not what was easy. Then Bach came into her life. Bach thinks himself superior to the dirt people, humans. He has to spend time on earth, watching humanity slowly die out, as a trial to become a man on his world.
But when Wisteria comes into the picture, his narrow-mindedness stars to unravel. For the first time, he can see a human for something more. As something beautiful and interesting. And he can't shake the feeling that he and Wisteria have met before, but when Bach was hard to care about since he did act pretty emotionless and superior most of the book, but I also caught the few times his walls cracked and the caring, sympathetic Bach came out. I would like to learn more about his people because this book only skims the surface when it comes to the aliens.
Leyton was amazing at painting each scene with great detail. I could picture every place, every action without effort. And the overall theme and story has huge potential as a series. Just in this book alone we go through more than one person can handle in a sitting.
So much happened it still makes my mind whirl. The tension and suspense were well done. My stomach was in cramps with the places Leyton took her characters. The world-building was complex but I did want a little more explanation on a few things. Though this book had zombies, it wasn't really a zombie book to me. The zombies were a factor but not a main focus in the story.
Leyton focuses more on the relationships between people: Wisteria also raises a lot of questions that you are dying to be answered the whole book. Why do these aliens hate humans so much? Who was responsible for the infection? Who can these characters trust in a world falling apart? There were so many secrets revealed, and by the most unlikely people too. Nothing is as it seems. And when the Red Phoenix, alien hunters, came into the picture, all hell breaks loose. Are they bad or good? They added another element that kept the reader guessing.
I am very interested to see where this story goes. Only a few things are resolved in this book, but so much is left to fix, to deal with. I want to know what's next for Wisteria and Bach because after what they went through together, I can only hope a happy ending is on the horizon. The Bad I think the biggest thing that bothered me was that Wisteria was treated like crap from a lot of people and no one stopped the abuse, not even she did much to stop the verbal and physical abuse from her schoolmates.
People claim to care for her but just stand by while she is abused. I didn't like it, it made my stomach hurt. But it's the writing that made me take away the one and a half stars. This book has a first-time writer feel to it. The dialogue was often mechanical and it felt off. Some scenes felt rushed while others dragged out. Bach's background or story should have been introduced sooner. I was confused for a lot of the book, especially in the beginning, on what Bach's whole deal was.
And really, Bach is not a likable character. I finished the book and still didn't like him. He mostly has no emotions, but when a few shine through, it's contempt and hate for others not like him. Really, Bach, you're not that great yourself. The Snuggly Not much snuggly in this book. Bach is too mean throughout most of it for us to enjoy the few times he and Wisteria kissed and touched. Final Thoughts I enjoyed this book overall. I wasn't wowed by the writing, but the concept kept me reading.
I like books that keep me wound tight with tension and have me guessing until the end. Wisteria does that for sure. Recommended for those looking for a different kind of zombie book. Quotes "I know you had nothing to do with the Red Phoenix attack," Bach finally spoke. I gave you all my food. That crazy woman, Mackenzie, almost killed me because of you.
You were only thinking about yourself, your cohort, or that damn cult--whoever those people are. You see the whole world from your point of view. I get it, Bach. You've have a hard life. Everyone has had a hard life since the outbreak. Sep 09, Loves To Dive rated it liked it. In a world taken over by a deadly virus known as Nero Disease which turns people into flesh eaters, there are pockets of uninfected people living in isolated areas. One such group lives on the Isle of Smythe in England.
Smythe is not a democracy; there is a council to make the laws and the military to enforce them. Everyone is expected to pull their own weight, man, woman or child; it makes no difference. Sixteen year old Wisteria Kuti is a tracker, along with her mother Lara and her partner, Lt In a world taken over by a deadly virus known as Nero Disease which turns people into flesh eaters, there are pockets of uninfected people living in isolated areas.
Sixteen year old Wisteria Kuti is a tracker, along with her mother Lara and her partner, Lt. On one such mission, Wisteria ends up getting separated from her mother and Andrew and cornered by biters. All seems hopeless and Wisteria is sure she is going to die. Out of nowhere, a teenage boy comes to her rescue. She passes out and wakes up surrounded by luxury in a beautiful penthouse in London. Her rescuer, Bach, lives here with his steward, Felip, and his best friend, Enric.
Soon Wisteria will find that Bach and company are not normal teenage boys. Circumstances soon change for the worse, and Wisteria and Bach find themselves on the run. Wisteria learns that no one can be trusted. Things are not as they seem on the Isle of Smythe, and even though she knows she has never met him before there seems to be some strange connection to Bach.
Leyton drops the reader into a world gone mad where people live in fear of becoming infected, everything is rationed, and there seems to be no hope for mankind. This is a gritty, dark world, where there is very little beauty and children grow up much too soon.

In some ways Wisteria is your typical teenager. She goes to school every day, she has a crush on the popular boy, and is picked on by the popular girls. She also is one of the few who have been off the Isle of Smythe. She carries a sword and she knows how to use it. Poor child was obviously having hormone issues since one minute she was thinking Bach was all that, and the next she was mad as a wet hen at him.
And speaking of Bach, slight spoiler alert here, he is not of this plane, which might excuse his less than pleasant personality. He redeemed himself every once in a while, but he certainly put Wisteria through the wringer more than once. There are a number of secondary characters who round out the cast. Neither Enric nor Felip come across as likeable, but of the two, Felip was the more likeable. Bach and Wisteria meet up with a young teenage boy named Garfield who ends up helping them out of a tight spot and who from time to time provides us with some comic relief.
Now the good, the bad and the ugly. The ugly — There are some scenes that are a little disturbing and quite a bit of violence, normally I would say this is no problem given the story line but some are pretty graphic for a YA book. The bad — the world that Ms. Leyton built for Bach and company is a little complicated; I never did truly get a handle on it.
The good — at its core this book has a good story and for the most part, kept me interested. I think the book could have used another pass with a good editor but for a first book, Ms. Leyton has done well.

With only 2 sightings in the last 6 months, the people of the island decid Source: With only 2 sightings in the last 6 months, the people of the island decide to have a fun run, which Wisteria thinks is crazy.
Wisteria tracks and confronts the two girls, but ends up chased by fleshers, and has to leave the building from a second story window. Luckily for Wisteria she is spotted by a boy called Bach and rescued. What does the future hold in store for Wisteria? And which is worst — being killed by zombies, or being brainwashed by aliens?
This was an interesting mix of post-apocalyptic, paranormal, fantasy, sci-fi, and romance genres, but I did get a bit confused, especially towards the end. Wisteria was an okay character, although I was surprised at how much she allowed other people to walk all over her. Whilst tracking Zombies she came across as a very strong personality, but faced with school bullies she just collapsed. The storyline was okay, but it was here that I started to get a little confused.
There was some romance in this book although it was pretty minimal. Wisteria and Bach did seem to slowly develop feelings for each other, although in the beginning Bach was sure that they had met previously. Overall; this was an okay story which covered a mix of genres, but I just found too much of it confusing to be able to really enjoy it. Oct 20, Books Mom rated it liked it Shelves: I wasn't entirely certain what to expect with this book. It sounded as if it was full of twists and turns and secrets and, as it turns out, it was!
Wisteria is an impetuous teenager, full of all the angst most have, especially as she's not part of the "in" crowd, but has a crush on one of them which is well known and mocked.
Her family is splintered, father presumed dead, and they survive in a safe haven called Symthe. Outside of Smythe are the infected. Wisteria is a tracker, like her I wasn't entirely certain what to expect with this book. Wisteria is a tracker, like her mother, and they go outside to track the movements of the infected, count their numbers and, when necessary, "cure" them slang for killing them.
Even here, where it is most dangerous, Wisteria is impetuous and her youth and inexeperience shows. And once, it gets her into serious trouble, surrounded by infected and a certain death. Until Bach sees her. Part of The Family, they see Terrans as slaves to be "refreshed" or brainwashed and used how they see fit. He doesn't want any Terrans around him, though.
They killed his mother and he despised them all, which is why his feelings and, oddly, memories of Wisteria make no sense. And so begins their adventure. This story was a good one, with plenty of plot points to keep me intrigued. The author's skill is certainly with description and she's able to clearly paint pictures of all the people and places Wisteria and Bach encounter.
However, this is also the one drawback of the story. There are places it drags and I'd end up skimming pages waiting for the action to start again. It always did, and it was frequently heart-stopping. Wisteria and Bach are in nearly impossible-to-survive situations more than once and I had to find out how they'd make it through. So, regardless of the slow spots, there were so many questions posed that I needed to know that I couldn't stop reading.
How did Bach remember Wisteria when they'd never met? Who was the person who betrayed them to the Red Phoenix? What was really going on at the Isle of Smythe? The ending leads me to believe there may be more books forthcoming, and I look forward to seeing what this talented author will come up with next. Wisteria is living on a island with her mom, brother, and a community of scientists and soldiers, attempting to survive the Nero disease.

The Nero disease hit and made everyone biters, flesh eaters, and Wisteria is just a teenage girl trying to live a semi-normal life. One day she is attacked by too many biters while out of the compound, and she awakens in a strange home with very beautiful teenage boys taking care of her. These are a strange group and she only wants to get home, but Background: These are a strange group and she only wants to get home, but there is something about these different people that intrigues her.
I have been on a zombie book kick apparently Wisteria was a great read, it had some of the things that I love about zombie books and movies, but also had some good twists. So my likes-- Wisteria is a strong female who can use a weapon and hold her own, but she is also the outcast and she is bullied non-stop throughout the book, and I think that made me relate to her more than just having a strong girl lead. The Nero premise was very cool and creepy, the community if afraid of being attacked and torn apart by flesh eaters, but it also had a very Resident Evil feel, always someone fighting their way through.
There were some wonderfully written creepy survivor parts. Then there was the main story- line of Wisteria and Bach one of the strange boys , this was by far the most interesting part, Bach and his companions are nor from Terra Earth they are just here to watch it die, and Wisteria and he have met before but neither of them can figure out when or where. This is what kept me reading,I needed to find out. Some dislikes- very typical zombie, dystopia-- ahh there are zombies, we have to survive! I get it, there are flesh eaters and you are striving to live So if it had not been for the weird alien boys I would not have read to the end.
So if you have a thing for zombie books, you should obviously go get this one same if you like green-eyed boys that aren't from Earth.

Now they both must fight their way back to the safety of the Isle of Smythe - all while fighting the flesh eaters, cannibals, and a dangerous and mysterious group known as Red Pheonix.
This novel was an action packed thrill ride with tons of suspense and romance along with lots of twists and turns. It definitely kept me on the edge of my seat and eagerly turning the pages. The writing is very well done and the story flows naturally and at a really great pace. The main character, Wisteria, is realistic and easy to like.
I found myself identifying with her right from the beginning and rooting for her throughout the book. There's a definite mix of genres in the book - horror, action, mystery, adventure, thriller, romance - it definitely shouldn't just be limited to being labelled as horror. The descriptions and details of the setting, plot, characters, history, and happenings in the book are incredibly well done - which I think adds a new layer of depth to the novel that the typical novel doesn't usually have.
This is definitely something fresh and exciting for fans of multiple genres - I highly recommend it to readers who want to try something unique and different from most books out there right now. I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. Sep 06, Naomi rated it really liked it. What a great start to the Wisteria series!! I thoroughly enjoyed this book!!
Bisi Leyton has written a fabulous novel, showing us what life would be like if a plague hit the earth and if you were bitten you turned into a flesh eating biter. There are Supernatural people who can cross into our world and the disease has no effect on them. Wisteria is a 16 year old girl who lives in one of the colonies and works as a tracker. Two of the unaffected girls go missing when she is out patrolling with her Mother and Andrew.
They locate the two girls and Wisteria goes in to get them alone. Soon they are surrounded by the biters and are on the run. In swoops Bach to save Wisteria, but instead of just returning her to the colony, he takes her back to his home. Bach is a self-assured person. But for some reason he rescues Wisteria. There is something about her that he is drawn to and it is confusing for him.
He wants to keep her close until he finds out more about her. I love the buildup of this story, getting to know the characters and watching their connection grow. I had no idea which way the story was headed and I was kept in suspense right up to the very end! Dec 24, Maghon Thomas rated it it was amazing Shelves: I love this book. Wisteria is a girl who lives on an island that is trying to survive from a zombie out break. Except things go a little amiss when she gets separated and almost killed by zombies.
She seems so real because she worries just like normal people do. So when he saves Wisteria, even he is flustered as to why he did that. Lol and when he promises to bring Wisteria home, he keeps his promise but with a few secrets. There are some extremely interesting side characters.
And the writing is excellent. LOL I really love this book and I do so look forward to more like this!! Oct 21, Kristy Centeno rated it really liked it. The opening scene, which happens to be the prologue, caught my attention right away. From then I just had to find out who Wisteria was and what her purpose entailed.
One of the things I loved the most about the story was the fact that Wisteria is a strong female character that can hold her own and kick some serious zombie butt. So meeting someone as mysterious as Bach is something new and maybe even a little exciting for her. Another great addition to this plot is of course, the strange relationship between Back and Wisteria, which only adds to the story and makes it twice as interesting. Sep 03, Monique Morgan rated it it was amazing.
The first thing that struck me as I read this book was that the main character was unlike the majority of female characters, she was not the prettiest, the skinniest, the deadliest, etc. She is what I would like to call an average, all around girl.

I wont go into too much details, as I hate spoilers, but the synopsis will give you somewhat of an idea of this. There was a twist to the normal zombie story, in that the love interest is not Terran This was a nice sci-fi element to the story that I enjoyed. The book was full of nonstop action from the beginning until the end, and I did not put it down until I had finished it. I loved the book and I love the cover!
Dec 19, Angel rated it did not like it. The zombie apocalypse was good and the aliens were okay. But the racism, bullying, and sexism were over the top and seemed gratuitous in this already packed book. But instead it all got heaped onto this book, particularly this one poor girl. Even the aliens found the M The zombie apocalypse was good and the aliens were okay. Even the aliens found the MC an "ugly human", geesh. Well I guess they needn't worry anyway since there were literally 0 repercussions for their grotesque treatment of the MC. Also the MC never defended herself, and I kept waiting for her to beat some ass or at least hoped the love interest would save her or an adult would step in but none of that ever happened.
All of this just seemed really unlikely and far-fetched. Black Girl was, as a black woman, very off-putting. If I wanted to see that, I could just go outside. Also also, the cover was offensively misleading.
