Book Description (from back cover):
Q: HOW MANY ZOMBIES DOES IT TAKE TO RUIN A SOCIAL LIFE?
A: NOT MANY.
Megan Berry is a Zombie Settler by birth, which means she's part-time shrink to a whole bunch of semi-dead people with killer issues. All Megan really wants is to go to homecoming, but when you're trailed by a bunch of slobbering corpses whenever you leave the house, it's kinda hard to score a date. Let's just say Megan's love life could use some major resuscitation.
Megan's convinced her life can't get any worse — until someone in school starts using black magic to turn average, angsty Undead into scary, hardcore flesh-eating Zombies. Now it's up to Megan to stop the Zombie apocalypse. Her life — and more importantly, the homecoming dance — depends on it.
Comments:
So, what to say about this one. In general, I enjoyed this and will be looking out for the second book (Undead Much?). There were some um moments though. Like... (in attempt to not have spoilers I'll try to be vague) I kind of thought, "Hmm, I bet such-and-such would happen, but surely not because how unPC would that be?" ... And then it happened. I'm still rather startled that it actually happened.
Anyway, it's a nice, light read. And of course it fits well with this recent Zombie trend I've been seeing.
I've been thinking about reading this series, glad it was enjoyable. And yes, Zombies are everywhere! I enjoyed The Zombie Queen of Newbury High - I think it's kind of in this vein.
ReplyDeleteWell then, guess I'll have to check Zombie Queen of Newbury High out. =)
ReplyDeleteI've kinda wondered what this new Zombie trend says about readers...
