Waiting on Wednesday (20)

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is: Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter which is due to be released on September 25th.
 
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…


This book had me the minute the cover was revealed.  To be completely honest, I didn't even read the synopsis.  The title was simply too intriguing to pass up and the cover those details that draw you in and demand to be examined over and over.  I am not a huge fan of the zombification of classic novels, but I am willing to go into this one with an open mind and I am really hoping to be rewarded.
