Book Review #265 - Alice in Zombieland (White Rabbit Chronicles #1) by Gena Showalter

Alice in Zombieland (White Rabbit Chronicles, #1)

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.
 
 
My Rating: 4.5/5
 
 
This seems to be a book that people either love or hate. Whilst I can see why people might not enjoy it, I really did like this book.
 
 
The whole Zombie aspect was entirely unique. I liked how they could only fight the Zombies whilst in spirit form.
 
 
Plotwise, there were no real surprises until the last few chapters. Although the amount of action made up for it.
 
 
The characters all had strong personalities. I really did like Cole, but would have liked him to have developed more. Alice was strong and for the most part I did like her. Kat was a character that I had a love/hate opinion about.
 
 
I am curious to see where the author takes this story in the sequel Through the Zombie Glass.

  1. You're right, I have read very varying reviews about this book, but I still put it on my TBR a while back. I love the author, so it's still worth a shot in my opinion. And who knows, I might end up loving it as well :)
