Review: The Girls' Guide to Dating Zombies by Lynn Messina

Note: We received a copy of the book from the publisher for review purposes.

I have been trying to come up with a way to describe this book in a few words and I think that I finally have it: ridiculously funny. The book is quite well written and even though beyond the dating zombies’ idea the plot is not exactly original, the story is so well presented that it makes the reading enjoyable. And last but not least, it’s refreshing.

It’s the year 2020 and twenty years ago a disgusting disease plagued the earth targeting the male population. But instead of killing them, they became zombies with purple skin, rotting limbs, mumbled speech and the compulsion of eating brain. The difference between these zombies and the “normal” ones that we are most used to reading about, is that for some kind of genetic reason these zombies go after animal’s brain, not human’s, and for that reason they live –or not die- among humans. 

Review: Angelfall by Susan Ee

So, the world as we know it is ending and there’s no one else to blame but the Angels. Six weeks ago some kind of war between Angels and the human race started and we are losing big time! It’s the Apocalypse, modern technology has been destroyed, and the survivors are starving, turning feral, desperate and mean. But it is war, so all those feelings and reactions are justified.

This new world is scary; angels, the lovely creatures that we have learned to think of as our friends and our connection to God, have turned against us. As if this were not enough, there’s looting in the streets and the worst of humankind has surfaced: murders, rapes, fights, the list is long and depressing.
