The Perfect Escape by Suzanne Park

 

This is a cute book and when students ask for romance books for teens, this is a great one to share out.  I'm getting this one for my high school library.  A cute read.  Enjoy.

The Bone Houses by Emily Lloyd-Jones


I loved this story and will get for my high school library.  It's great for any fan who loves zombie stories and medieval type stories infused with magic.  It's a page turner.  A great read.  Add this to your high school library.

Dread Nation Deathless Divide by Justina Ireland

Justina Ireland does a good job telling a story.  Her characters, plot and flow of words works well.  I'm looking forward to reading more of her work.  The audio book reader does a great job bringing the characters to life.  Enjoy.

The Trials of Apollo The Tyrant’s Tomb by Rick Riordan

Adventure, mythology, contemporary settings and fighting zombies and evil kings, it's the perfect edition to add to any school or personal library.  Enjoy.  I know I'll have to add this to my high school library.  Audio book also very good.

Dread Nation by Justina Ireland


The audio book really captures a feel for an old west type life in this alternative historical fantasy that has zombies known as shufflers in this story.  A very clever book and great drama.  Fine for any high school library.  Enjoy.

Shadow Magic Burning Magic by Joshua Khan

I hope there are more books in this series.  It's that good.  Think middle ages Harry Potter with a hint of romance.  Great characters and lots of action.  Goth and fire and magic.  Oh and throw in some zombies and you have the makings of an entertaining story.

Shadow Magic Dream Magic by Joshua Khan

This is a good add to any school library.  Think Harry Potter goes back to ancient times and you've got a great series.  I'm already starting the third book in this series.  It's a good buy and a good read.  Enjoy.

Dead Reckoning by Mercedes Lackey, Rosemary Edghill and Jane Hodson

I liked this story.  I hope the author's write another story.  The characters are entertaining and each character has a rich backstory.  This story is fine for any high school library.  I haven't seen the Walking Dead series but if you like an entertaining zombie story set as a western, then enjoy.

Kate Grable: Bad Taste in Boys by Carrie Harris



This is a funny monster book that I will get for my high school library.  Kate is a nerdy girl who boys want to ask out for Homecoming dance.  She's got a lab at school she likes to work.  Enjoy, it's a fun read.

Shadowshaper by Daniel Jose Older



I do like this story.  It' brings in legends and magic in a hispanic Caribbean culture.  I appreciate that art, music and stories can create magic.  Culture and respect to elder's knowledge are woven into the story set in a contemporary time frame.  It's an easy story for reluctant readers to give it a read.  Enjoy.

Chronicles of Nick: Infinity Sherrilyn Kenyon



Think Vladimer Tod meets zombies and demons.  It's a teen who is half human and half demon.  Nick is finding himself.  I should mention his mother has a heart of gold, and is a stripper.  His father is in jail.  Nick is the target of a group who is after him.  It's fine but I wouldn't buy for a high school library.

Reboot by Amy Tintera

One of the better zombie books I've read.  Although there are no mention of zombies in the book.  These dead are not what we think of zombies.  They have "lives", eat, drink and does the dirty work of an evil organization guised to help humanity.  I actually liked the book.  You have to feel sympathy for the rebooted soldiers.  They have become slaves and prisoners as they work and believe the lies they are being fed.  I will look forward to reading the

Zom-B by Darren Shan

Lot's of racism and gore.  I'm not impressed with this book.  Not an enjoyable read at all.

Necropolis by Anthony Horowitz

It's a page turner!  The story continues.  I like the concept of the teens opening doors that are keyed to only them and it takes them to another part of the world.  Of course there are dangers at every turn.  Very smart book.

The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan

I think the book needed an editor who could help this book.  The concept is interesting but there are holes in the story that needed to be sorted out better.  It was painful to read.
