This has got to be the best zombie boook I have ever read.Exciting, scary, a little bit romantic, all the elements of a great read. This book will totally change your view of zombies.I'm really excited to read the sequel.Read this in a little less than two days,simply could not stop.Read now or you don't know what a good zombie book is.

Sorry, i'm trying my best to understand, but how on earth do you make zombies romantic? They are daed. werewolves ok maybe, if you like hairy guys. Vampires it's a stretch, if you like old dudes, but zombies? How dose that work? You're kissing him and then his arms are falls off. Not to mention the smell, (zombis do smell don't they)? But i'm so desperate for a new book that i'm going to try it... Hope it's as good as everyone keeps telling me. -A

I normally hate zombie books, I find the idea over used and boring so I was rather disappointed to receive this as a Christmas present. However, after running out of other books to read, I started it and could not stop. This book is phenomenal, it takes an old theme and completely remakes it. The book had me enthralled from beginning to end. The only thing I could say is A) I wish it had a little more romance than it did although it worked with the time period and society that the author was trying to portray and B) the very last page confused me. I'm still not entirely sure what happened but seeing as though a sequel is in the works, I'm hoping that it will answer some of my questions and I'll definitely be among the first in line to buy the sequel.

I would have thought there was no way to make zombies romantic, but Lia Habel has done it. This book was exciting and fun and yes, you will root for the zombie to get the girl.
