The tagline on the cover of this novel is "A rousing political and supernatural adventure," and while it's accurate, it's probably not the best way to sell anything.

This is a novel about rebellion and magic. It's brutal, but very good.

Very standard YA horror: a bunch of kids are invited to a party on an island and nobody else shows up and someone starts murdering them. I didn't guess who the murderer was, anyway. Decent read.

The Enterprise and a ship full of Kingons find a planet rich in dilithium at about the same time. So everyone has to go down and negotiate with the people of the planet. This is where shit gets silly.

Some of this book is very funny. Some of it is kind of annoying.

The copy of this book I got from the library had pages falling out from being read so hard. I had to repair it before I could finish reading it.

It's been about 20 years since zombies started happening. Georgia and Shaun (it's after the zombie apocalypse, what did you expect) Mason have never known anything else. They're reporters. Georgia does straight news, her brother does pokes-zombies-with-sticks stuff.

The Mason siblings are asked to cover a presidential campaign that winds up being attacked by zombies an awful lot.

This novel was great. Well-written, suspenseful, and fucked with my head. Best thing on zombies I've read in a long-assed time. Check it out.
