Dread Nation by Justina Ireland

4.0

---

Read amazingly by Bahni Turpin, Dread Nation is an alternate history, zombie apocalypse with a strong, young Black lead. It was a fun adventure which (thankfully to me) was very light on gore/tension. Some of the twists and surprises in the end could have been set up more or cut completely, but in general I found this a delightful addition to my summer reading.
