A historical fiction mixed with a zombie thriller, with a diverse and interesting cast. Black main characters, with bi and aroace rep. One of the best books I've read so far this year!

This story is what happens when you mix historical fiction and science fiction and it is awesome!  Loved the great characters--we have a sassy heroine alongside an interesting cast of characters, plenty of action, mixed with a dynamic plot.  Narrator, Bahni Turpin, is phenomenal.
