Through the Zombie Glass by Gena Showalter (Review #69)

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT: IF YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN THIS FAR IN THE WHITE RABBIT CHRONICLES, STOP NOW. DO NOT READ. THIS IS BOOK 2. FOR BOOK 1, CHECK OUT ALICE IN ZOMBIELAND!

"Alice Bell has lost so much. Family. Friends, A home. She thought she had nothing else to give. She was wrong. 

After a new zombie attack, strange things begin to happen to her. Mirrors come to life, and the whispers of the dead assault her ears. But the worst? A terrible darkness blooms inside her, urging her to do very wicked things.

She's never needed her team of zombie slayers more, but ultra bad-boy Cole Holland, the leader and her boyfriend, suddenly withdraws from her... from everyone. Now with her best friend, Kat, at her side, Ali must kill the zombies, uncover Cole's secret and learn to fight the darkness.

But the clock is ticking... and if she fails at a single task, they're all doomed."

Review:
I had flushed cheeks for 75% of the book. I'm just saying, this book walks the line between PG-13 and R. And the darkness has just begun. I've always found the horror movie Mirrors (2008) extremely creepy and Through the Zombie Glass plays on the same concept. It was every bit as scary as the movie. Along with the love/lust relationship to add the mix, I was enamored. I understood the war waged inside her between good and evil and I was absolutely devastated with the beginning of Ali and Cole's relationship. Again though, I must compliment the character's resilience and her won't-back-down attitude. I mean, if I could beat the living crap out of the chick who crossed me, I'd take advantage. Fortunately I lived vicariously through dear Alice. On one final note, I'm a tad tormented by Ali and Cole. If the Gena Showalter skips over their big step (hint-hint) in their relationship, I swear, I will go slayer on her.

Burn for Burn by Jenny Han & Siobhan Vivian (Review #29)

"Lillia has never had any problems dealing with boys who like her. Not until this summer, when one went too far. No way will she let the same thing happen to her little sister. Kate is tired of the rumors, the insults, the cruel jokes. It all goes back to one person - her ex-best friend - and she's ready to make her pay. Four years ago, Mary left Jar Island because of a boy. But she's not the same girl anymore. And she's ready to prove it to him. Three very different girls who want the same thing: sweet, sweet revenge. And they won't stop until they've each had a taste." Review: This book was FAN-TAS-TIC!! I am not for the petty popular girl books, and this is definitely not one of those books. The revenge you wish you got on the person who double-crossed you is finally let loose in one of the best and most inventive ways, and the ending left me jaw-dropped. This is a book everyone should have on their shelf.
