gena showalter alice in zombieland series

A bit of backstory on dad he has seen these monsters the majority of his life. No one in the family save dad has seen these monsters, so of course Alice and her sister Emma think that he’s absolutely crazy, which of course as young girls make both of them despise him for ruining their lives. The main being, you cannot go out after the sun sets because of monsters. I’m kidding- but there are really specific rules in place. Little does Alice know, her father has these specific rules in place for the entire family’s safety. Meet Alice Bell a 16 year old, who like any typical angsty teenager, despises the rules her family has set in place for her. Opening line of the book: “Had anyone told me that my entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, I would have laughed.” Then there is me, who just reading the title of the book I am already lost in my head on my own adventure of how I think the story is going to go. We all have preconceptions about how a book is going to play out- normal people read the synopsis.

I polled a book group I’m a member in on Facebook which book I should read next, and “Alice in Zombieland” won out! I won’t lie, because I’m unfamiliar with the author/series, the books have just sat on my shelf. I did not pick this book- twice now! Hubs graciously bought this (almost) entire series for me right around Mother’s Day. I don’t think I’ve been this adventurous since high school, where it was mandatory to read the pre-selected books off the syllabus. I’m pretty sure this is the 4th or 5th book in a row that I’ve never heard of the author OR the books they have written. I’m sorry! I just HAD to post the video above! Every time I opened this book up, the chorus just screamed in my head, and I laughed- I’m ridiculous, I’m fully aware.Īugust must be the month of new authors to read.
