Zombies began rising from the ground during the American Civil War changing the States forever.
In the new United States, the safety of the American people is guaranteed by the Native and Negro Reeducation Act; a law that requires Black and Native children to go to boarding schools to be trained to kill zombies.
Jane McKeene has only ever known this America and so like other Black children she attends Miss Preston's School of Combat in Baltimore, training to be an effective zombie killer.
Near the end of her schooling, Jane ended up in a middle of a conspiracy surrounded by enemies and not too many friends.

TW: Racism
I absolutely adored this book. I had to take a break because it got a little heavy, which makes sense because of when it was set in the U.S.
I guess I thought there would be more subtle racism-- which there was-- but there also was a lot of outright racism Jane had to deal with.
The worldbuilding was fascinating and I really liked the twists in it.
I also liked how Jane told the story.
She was unreliable and yet was fairly honest with her views and what she thought of things going on and was reflective when she realized she was wrong.
It's a good story and I definitely would recommend it.
