Realized this was book 2 in a series, so gave up since I haven't read the first one.

Amy is one of the last living humans from Lepingville (same town Jessie is from in Dust) and she's decided it's time to move on. Traveling through the wasteland of neighboring towns on her way anywhere, she meets Lisa, an ex -- Lisa was human before the outbreak that turned everyone, human and zombie, into something other. Then Lisa and Amy are taken to a small town where exes are masters and frails have become all but slaves.

It's hard to tell at this point just where the trilogy is headed. As zombie reads (and reads in general) go, this series is original and well thought out. It'll be interesting to see who will return in book three and where the story will end.

Amy survives a zombie apocalypse and wants to know what happened to her mother. And there's a twist with these zombies before they go "over" - they hit an eating frenzy stage that includes things like bricks.

Picked up and taken to a compound of mixed zombies and human "workers", she makes some friends, and traces back how and why this all happened.

Some interesting ideas and characterization, but I wasn't riveted.
