Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I'm always very happy about an ARC and being able to give it a review! <3

I've never read a zombie/horror story before and I have to say, I really liked this one.

The humor was just right and the characters were well developed. I also found the basic story really interesting and I've never read anything like it before - but the story was a bit long, which bothered me a bit.

I also think it's great and "refreshing" to read something about Haitian culture!

The twists were okay, but unfortunately the book won't stick in my head. Nevertheless, it was an interesting and unique YA thriller/horror.
