Having been a member of her Vampire Book Club for most of the year, you'd think I'd have already read her book, right? Well, now that I have a Kindle Unlimited trial, I'm jumping on one of the (many) books I've been meaning to read. Besides, I've already covered the other big Halloween themes this month: Demons, Superheroes, Vampires, and Werewolves. So a book about zombies (and more vampires) and Death incarnate sounded like a great way to finish off my month's proverbial bingo card.

Overall, this seems like it could be the entrance into a binge-worthy series. Unfortunately, for me at least, the rest of its series is not out yet and I'm left in a lurch. It's definitely got the makings of something memorable, with a grand quest, quirky characters, secrets and mysteries, and a dangerous world that mixes monsters and magic with science and logic. I'd probably recommend waiting until a sequel is out, unless you've got a special deal (Kindle Unlimited) or enjoy speculating (fanfiction) in the meantime, but it's definitely one to check out if you enjoy stories involving zombies, vampires, Death incarnate, strong female leads, post-apocalyptic survival, road-trips, quests, or existential quandaries. Just be sure to grab some popcorn, and settle in for an interesting ride.
