Careful What You Wish For

March 21, 2015 by Melina Leave a Comment

In my last review of book 4 in this series I suggested that it was impossible for all the major characters to hold up so long, often in such wildly impossible scenarios and that surely at least one of them should have died. Well…I guess I should play the lottery or something because it appears that if I ask for something, I get it. In this book, no major character was safe any longer; the stakes were much higher and it was clear that all […]

Same Zombies Different Day

March 14, 2015 by Melina 1 Comment

  It is REALLY hard to talk about these books without giving away major plot points. That being said, I’m starting to get the hang of who’s going to become a “collaborator” (one who works in the best interests of the ghouls). It’s a very simple formula, one that I think just about anyone would catch after the first book–if the group has to leave you for dead (for the sake of the groups’ safety), or if you’ve been ditched/voted off the island for being […]
