Zombies vs. Unicorns by Justine Larbalestier, Holly Black
4.0
The Highest Justice by Garth Nix
It’s a rare story that features both zombies and unicorns, but this fairy tale about a princess and a kingdom manages to do so with aplomb. 3/5
Love Will Tear Us Apart by Alaya Dawn Johnson
Lovely little love story between two boys, one of whom is just a tad more different than usual. Lots of great music mentioned in passing. 4/5
Purity Test by Naomi Novik
A unicorn needs a virgin to stop a rogue wizard who has taken to stealing unicorn babies for nefarious purposes. In New York. 5/5
Bougainvillea by Carrie Ryan
Lovely, sad, tale of life after the Return and of what it takes to be a leader in dire times. 5/5
A Thousand Flowers by Margo Managan
Another sad, lovely tale, only this one is about a unicorn and those who chased after him. 4/5
The Children of the Revolution by Maureen Johnson
It’s not often you get a zombie story from an inside perspective. Especially not one with children, celebrities, and farm country scams as scenery. 4/5
The Care and Feeding of Your Baby Killer Unicorn by Diana Peterfreund
Fantastic coming of age story about love and responsibility and finally figuring out who you are and who you want to be. Excellent. 5/5
Inoculata by Scott Westerfeld
Interesting take on the aftermath of the zombie apocalypse. After all, if zombism is a disease, then there must be a cure. Eventually. 4/5
Princess Prettypants by Meg Cabot
Finally a unicorn story in the traditional manner, with nobility and rainbows and idiotic teen hormones. 5/5
Cold Hands by Cassandra Claire
I like the notion that the risen dead are tied to a specific place and that the zombie apocalypse is confined, but otherwise, this love story wasn’t quite my cup of tea. 2/5
The Third Virgin by Kathleen Duey
I’m not sure I’ve ever read a story told from the unicorn’s point of view before. It’s an interesting perspective. The story is about longing and addiction. It’s good. 4/5
Prom Night by Libba Bray
When all the adults have become undead, how do the survivors cope? By holding to tradition, even if it’s just another prom. This ought to be a t.v. show. 5/5
