Dearly, Departed by Lia Habel (Review #100)

It's my 100th post! Never thought I'd get here but I'm so glad I did.  Books mean a lot to me and I hope I continue venturing into unknown worlds and situations for one hundred more books. Thanks to everyone who has stuck with me and enjoyed/hated books alongside me and have endured my many gushes and rants! NOW LET'S GET INTO IT! "Love conquers all, so they say. But can't Cupid's arrow pierce the hearts of the living and the dead - or rather, the undead ? Can a proper young Victorian lady find true love in the arms of a dashing zombie? The year is 2195. The place is New Victoria - a high-tech nation modeled on the manners, mores, and fashions of an antique era. A teenager in high society, Nora Dearly is far more interested in military history and her country's political unrest than in tea parties and debutante balls. But after her beloved parents die, Nora is left at the mercy of her domineering aunt, a social-climbing spendthrift who has squan...

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...

Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter (Review #45)

"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 ...

Dead City by James Ponti (Review #44)

"Regular kids have enough to deal with between school, homework, extracurricular activities, and friends. But Molly Bigalow isn't a "regular kid." By day Molly is a normal student, but after classes end, Molly is learning how to police and protect zombies. Yeah. Zombies. And how can you be a regular kid when, depending on which side of the equation you were on, your mother was either the most-feared or most-revered zombie hunter in the history of New York City. And she prepared Molly to follow in her legendary footsteps from an early age." Review: This book wasn't bad. I loved the twist Ponti had on the zombie population and how the Omegas policed AND protected them. The story did have faults, such as really cheesy jokes that appeared stupid instead of humorous. Also, it was hard to imagine Molly as only a grammar school student. For the story's sake, it would seem more logical to recruit Omegas in high school than in seventh and eighth grad...
