Title:  Zom-B Baby Author:  Darren Shan Series:   Zom-B, #5 Pages:   215 Publisher:  Simon & Schuster Children's Books Date of Publication:  26th September 2013 Source:  For review from publisher Synopsis from Goodreads: B has spent the last few months bunking with the Angels, a group of teens dedicated to eradicating the evil dead from the face of the earth, beginning with the undead roaming the abandoned wreckage that was once London. But the Angels' mission is a bit more complicated than that, and B takes to the streets of a very changed London to decide: is it a mission really to be believed? But instead of answers, B finds a horror beyond imagining. My Thoughts: I think that Zom-B Baby is my favourite so far of the Zom-B series. I was so excited to read it that as soon as it dropped through my letterbox I quickly finished what I was reading so that I could get onto reading this. Sorry it's taken a little while to ...

Title:  Zom-B Angels Author:  Darren Shan Series:   Zom-B, #4 Pages:   239 Publisher:  Simon & Schuster Children's Books Date of Publication:  20th June 2013 Source:  Publisher for review* Synopsis from Goodreads: After spending the last few months wandering around London--a city filled with the dead--B Smith has given up hope for any sign of normal human existence. But then B finds strange signs all over the city--a "Z" plus red arrows. Following them, B finds The Angels-- a group gathered in the hopes of combating the evil dead and the forces that introduced them. But all is not as it seems and it's up to B to find out: what battle are they truly waging? My Thoughts: Zom-B Angels is the fourth book of the Zom-B series by Darren Shan. I really like this series, and I look forward to each book dropping through my letterbox every few months (another great thing - it's only every few months, rather than a whole year in b...

Title:  Zom-B City Author:  Darren Shan Series:   Zom-B, #3 Pages:   224 Publisher:  Simon and Schuster Children's Date of Publication:  14th March 2013 Source:  Publisher* Synopsis from Goodreads: How many survived the zombie apocalypse?Where do the living hide in a city of the dead? Who controls the streets of London? B Smith is setting out to explore... My Thoughts: Just as the second improved on the first, this book, Zom-B City (book three) improved yet again. It was my favourite of the three so far and I'm very much looking forward to carrying on with B's story. This book takes place after B has broken out into open air after being kept underground with the other zom heads in book two,  Zom-b Underground . As she wanders around London, it was really great to read about so many familiar places, places I've visited so many times. It just made the story even more vivid for me, to be able to really follow B ...

Title:  Zom-B Underground  Author:  Darren Shan Series:  Zom-B, #2 Pages:  203 Publisher:  Simon & Schuster Children's Date of Publication:  3rd January 2012 Source:  Publisher* Synopsis from Goodreads: Waking up in a military complex, months after zombies attacked school, B has no memory of the last few months. Life in the UK has turned tough since the outbreak, and B is woven into life- and battle- in the new military regime quickly. But as B learns more about the zombies held in the complex and the scientists keeping them captive, unease settles in. Why exactly was B saved? And is there anyone left in the world to trust? DO NOT READ THIS REVIEW IF YOU'VE NOT READ THE FIRST BOOK, Zom-B , AND DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED. My Thoughts: Having read Zom-B and found it to just be okay, I wasn't sure what I was going to think of the sequel, Zom-B Underground . To be honest, I picked it up to read because it was the shortest book in m...

Title:  Alice in Zombieland  Author:  Gena Showalter Series:  White Rabbit Chronicles, #1 Pages: 404 Publisher:  MIRA Ink Date of Publication:  5th October 2012 Source:  Publisher* Synopsis from Goodreads: She won’t rest until she’s sent every walking corpse back to its grave. Forever. Had anyone told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. From blissful to tragic, innocent to ruined? Please.

Title:  Zom-B Author:  Darren Shan Series:  Zom-B, #1 Pages:  217 Publisher:  Simon & Schuster Children's Date of Publication:  27th September 2012 Source:  Publisher* Synopsis from Goodreads: Zom-B is a radical new series about a zombie apocalypse, told in the first person by one of its victims. The series combines classic Shan action with a fiendishly twisting plot and hard-hitting and thought-provoking moral questions dealing with racism, abuse of power and more. This is challenging material, which will captivate existing Shan fans and bring in many new ones. As Darren says, "It's a big, sprawling, vicious tale...a grisly piece of escapism, and a barbed look at the world in which we live. Each book in the series is short, fast-paced and bloody. A high body-count is guaranteed!" My Thoughts: Having just finished reading Pride & Prejudice for school, I needed something short and kind of silly to read to get back into reading Y...

Title:  Dearly Departed   Author:  Lia Habel Series:  N/A Pages:  451 Publisher:  Doubleday Date of Publication:  29th September 2011 Source: Publisher* Synopsis: As far as romantic pairings go in the year 2195, you don't get much more unlikely than an upper-class schoolgirl and a poor miner from enemy tribes. Filter in the fact that he's a zombie, and you're definitely talking about star-crossed love. Dearly, Departed is a cyber-Victorian/steampunk romance that takes place in the shadow of a new ice age. Nora Dearly, a mouthy teenage girl and apparent orphan, leaves school for Christmas - only to be dragged into the night by the living dead. Luckily for her, though, the good ones got to her first. From her reanimated rescuers she learns not only that zombies are roaming the countryside, but that her father is one - and that he's in terrible trouble. She also meets Captain Bram Griswold, a noble, strong, and rather sweet undead boy for ...
