got a copy of this from NetGalley, and I’m so happy that I did. Thank you!!
This review is based on an early review copy, so things may change when it finally gets released.
Now, the first book was really good. I loved that it made Zombies differently, making some of them still human with thoughts and memories, emotions and all. The different characters and all the action was just awesome. This book is even better than the first!
Months after the events of the first book, zombies are living in the city with the living, trying to stay peaceful. Not everyone likes this, and because of the hate for the dead, two new groups have formed. The Murder, a bunch of rich kids going and killing/torturing zombies and hurting anyone associated with them, and the Changed, the Zombies with thoughts who are tired of being treated badly and who just want to survive at any cost.
Bram and Nora, Pam and everyone else gets mixed up with the drama that these groups create, and they want to stop anything from getting worse and more people getting hurt. On top of that we have Patient Zero, a zombie with a completely different strain of the Laz virus, and the cure from the first book had no effect on it.
This book goes more in depth with the characters, what the effects of the first attack have done to them (especially Pamela), and also digs more into the past which leads to something revealing at the end. And oh my goodness the end! Not only do I dislike a different person in this one now because of their evilness, but Nora and Bram are so cute!
This series is great for anyone who’s never read or who is unsure if they will like a Zombie book. This book so far deals much more with the intelligent Zombies than the crazed ones in the first book, but with all that’s going on you’ll just want to keep on reading. I will definitely be getting a copy for myself when it’s released for the final print!
