This review contains spoilers from the first WRC book.
I'm going to start out saying that I usually don't pick up zombie books...out of all of the paranormal out there, I have never understood the 'zombie' idea zombies or had any interest in it. HOWEVER I love me some Gena Showalter. She is one of my favorite authors of all time. I got really hooked on her when she and P.C. Cast wrote Mysteria and Mysteria Lane with a couple of other wonderful ladies. What can I say...anything she writes, I am hooked.
I loved the first installment of the "White Rabbit Chronicles"-Alice in Zombie land. I also love how Gena made zombies seem 'plausible'...see there it is again, people shape-shifting into werewolfs I am totally cool with...walking rotting corpses...not so much. So when Gena made zombies spirits that only certain people can see and had them bite to infect other spirits which then would infect the person I thought..hmmm yeah that could TOTALLY happen. SO again thank you Gena for coming up with an interesting new spin.
Back to book number two. It was INSANE! and yes that is a complement. I was so happy when Ali and Cole got together in the first book. In this book their relationship went through some serious turmoil, and Ali really developed into a bad-ass. I enjoyed the new characters in the book and I am really excited to see where the next book goes! In the end this book had everything that I look for in a book. A great story line, solid characters humor, love, twists and turns.
I seriously cannot wait until 'The Queen of Zombie Hearts' the third installment in this series releases next year! Until then I will just have to tide myself over with Gena's upcoming 'Angels of the Dark' book.
