The worst has happened—Allison and her coworkers are trapped at Brooks and Peabody Bookstore. Outside their safe haven is a crowd of the infected—zombies. No one knows what has happened, but luckily the WiFi still works. Somehow the government has enabled a backup Internet system that allows communication. In a series of blog posts, Allison records her experiences and communicates with other survivors to help her small village fend off the dreaded infected. This fast-paced thrill ride offers an eye-opening look at what is more dangerous—humans or their zombie counterparts. Gory in places and certainly intense, the story features strong character development and plot movement. Some suspension of disbelief is required, as Allison's group of survivors easily acquire weaponry and sustain themselves on Doritos and SoBe for longer than the average human.
VERDICT Zombies remain popular, and overall this is a great undead time for adult and YA fans of the genre.
