"Had anyone told Alice Bell that her
entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would
have laughed. From blissful to tragic, innocent to ruined? Please. But that's
all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she
knew and loved was gone.
Her father was right. The monsters are
real.
To avenge her family, Ali must learn to
fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad
boys, Cole Holland. But Cole has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn't careful,
those secrets might just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies."
Review:
This was an interesting and great new take
on the world of zombies. I immediately assumed that this would be
a post apocalyptic book, hence "zombieland", but that
was not the case. And the zombies themselves were completely different from
what other books lead you to believe. I also loved Alice and Cole's
relationship but what I loved most was Alice's strong and brave attitude she
had throughout the entire book. Most female characters seem to save their brave
attitude for their supernatural world, but not Alice. She held her ground
against any and every person who dared to try to intimidate her. The
ending was certainly cool, but too predictable. I wish that Showalter did
something different for the ending, but all in all it was fantastic.
Recommendation: yes, yes, YES!!!
