A review by aklibrarychick
Dark Days by James Ponti

4.0

I'd read the first two books of this series ages ago and hadn't gotten to the final one. A student was reading through them and she loved them, so she insisted I read this. I plowed through it in just a few days because it was, as are the others in the series, "unputdownable." It's well written and thoroughly entertaining.

Though the ending doesn't mean a final solution to the zombie problem, it does mean that Molly, her family and friends are now free from constant threat, and can go on with their lives (or their un-lives, as the case may be).

I would love to hear how Ponti came up with the fascinating idea that something in Manhattan schist makes zombies possible, and that staying near it is necessary for them to stay "alive" and to "recharge." Wish I could come up with ideas like that!
