Dread Nation by Justina Ireland

2.5

 I wanted to like this so badly. It sounded amazing. But it just missed the mark for me. Black queer girls fighting zombies is how this book was described to me and the queer relationship I was expecting was barely there. Though I did love the bi and ace representation I think I went into this expecting more of a queer relationship. Also for a book about zombies we barely see zombies. It sucks because I loved the zombie scenes we do get but there was just a small hand full of those scenes. It made the story a bit boring and I kept forgetting it was supposed to be about zombies. I wanted more action there. Especially to see more of Janes skill with fighting. There was tons I really liked about the main character and some of the side characters. They really were the best part of the story. I think I went into this with completely different expectations and just ended up disappointed in the end.
