Summary
Rebecca Willis is a 17 year old survivor of a zombie pandemic who’s still in love with her high school crush Lance Tanner, who just happens to be be a zombie. But when things begin to threaten her ties with Lance she must choose over saving her own life and the lives of her friends or saving her zombie.
These zombie tales (as it is the volume for A Girl's Guide
series by Richard Denney) are fast paced, action packed, short, and can be
deeply developed in sadness. Which you would expect as it is an end of the
world, zombie book.
Since it’s short of course it’ll be fast paced. In the
beginning you see how the world is with zombies trying to get in for some of
that human brain but then you see that the main girl is in love with one of
those zombies. Because of this, she can’t leave her dead “boyfriend” behind when her and her friends need to leave before it
gets over run. So she hitches a plan to bring her dead “boyfriend” along for the ride. Seems sweet, right?
Wrong
Since she decides to do this pretty much everything from
there on she’ll lose a lot of the people she cares about because of this dead
guy. He was never her boyfriend in the first place so why on earth would you
risk your life and everybody else’s, all just for him. Yes, she hoped there
would be a cure, who wouldn’t? But if I were her I’d rather risk my life for my
zombified family and dear friends than the guy I only admired from a far. But that’s
just me *shrugs*.
So, yes I thought she was naïve and made me dislike her in
certain parts of the stories. Other than that, I enjoyed this quite a lot.
Oops, actually there was another thing that got to me. She fall in love with
someone but it seemed too fast. They only knew each other for a week. Now this
may be due to the fact that zombies roam the streets more than humans do now
but it still bugged me a little. Just a bit.
Overall, I appreciated this short series. It was gritty and
dark in some moments. You were able to see what can become of some people with
this kind of disaster, see their true animal side come out as it is all about
survival now. I liked how I was able to finish this in no time, a great read
for in between novels, a good way to take a break from those 300 and something
page books. But don’t worry, there are some lighter moments in these books so
don’t let the sadness stop you from picking this series up.
Anyways, I recommend
this for everyone that likes zombies/horror and a good short read that doesn’t
need much brain power. For people that just want to relax from those long
novels.
~Cover Talk~
I absolutely
love the cover! It was what caught my eye on amazon and a reason why I had
clicked yes into putting it on my Kindle app. Another reason was because at the
time it was free, yee!
Happy Reading Everybody!
Cheers!
