Review Detail

Reader reviewed by WilowRaven

Have to say, I was a little skeptical at first - Zombies? Monster
hunters? My first thought was, darn it, another cheesy horror book. I
was so wrong! Not in the least bit typical. Yes there are zombies, as
well as other baddies but the story is amazing! Some new twists on old
ideas. The action is fast paced with enough real life scenarios to hold
your interest. I really liked Dru's inter voice - funny at times,
always truthful. She is tough but isn't immune to the things that are
happening to her. She's scared but still spunky - she's lonely but
determined.

I feel in love with Dru's new found friend Graves. His friendship never
wavers even when faced with possible death at the hands of creatures
that previously had only existed, for him, in myth and legends.  For
Dru, battling these horrors are second nature. Her grandmother and
father have taught her well. But now, everything has changed. Her
grandmother is gone and her father failed. She knows she shouldn't
trust anything someone from The Real World tells her, but when the
mysterious Christophe appears, she has no choice.

 

I did not want this book to end! The sequel - Betrayals - is due out in November.

A great YA fantasy, action book - highly recommended.

5 stars.
