What can I say about a book entitled "Alice in Zombieland"? Well for starters, it was pretty darn decent. It was enjoyable fluff that in a time of cookie cutter vampire novels was a refreshing change.
From Amazon: 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. But that's all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone.
Her father was right. The monsters are real.
To avenge her family, Ali must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys, Cole Holland. But Cole has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn't careful, those secrets might just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies.
The characters were well fleshed and full of life. Bad boy, Cole Holland, and his band of misfit rogue friends help keep the story flowing, but Alice is the lifeblood of the tale. While there are certain similarities between the classic "Alice in Wonderland" and "Alice in Zombieland", it is not merely a retelling of the timeless tale. I liked it, and will probably read the second book when it comes out later this year. All together "Alice in Zombieland" was an enjoyable escape. I give it a B.
