I really enjoyed this book butbalso agreed with other reviews that the five first person narratiVe had me confusedbatnsome parts on who was speaking and therefore I thought it was unnessesary. I liked Bram a lot. He was my favorite character and the futuristic/steam punk technology really fascinated me. Im also in the zombie fan club so, in that respect this book was awesome. The fact that some zombs were good and some were bad was interesting and the science was absolutely a ten on cool scale. All in all, I liked it. A long read though it was at some points, I liked it.

I actually enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would. Not as gross as I thought it might be

A sharp, slick, blisteringly paced debut novel, with an unconventional but tender love story at its heart. I parted the curtains. A skeletal face peered back at me, blackened eyes rolling in sockets seemingly unsupported by flesh. It smiled... It should be game over for Nora Dearly when she is ambushed and dragged off into the night by the living dead. But this crack unit of teen zombies are the good guys, sent to protect Nora from the real monsters roaming the country and zeroing in on cities to swell their ranks. Can Nora find a way to kill off the evil undead once and for all? Can she trust her protectors to resist their hunger for human flesh? And can she stop herself falling for the noble, sweet, surprisingly attractive, definitely-no-longer-breathing Bram...?
