Goodreads Description:
 Senior year is positively hair-raising.

Kate Grable is geeked out to shadow the county medical examiner as part of her school’s pre-med program. Except when he’s arrested for murder, she’s left with the bodies. And when Kate’s brother Jonah stumbles upon a dead gamer girl, she realizes that the zombie epidemic she cured last fall was only the beginning of the weirdness taking over her town. Someone’s murdering kids—something really hairy. And strong. Possibly with claws.

Is it werewolf awesomeness like Jonah and his dorktastic friends think? Kate’s supposed to be a butt-kicking zombie killing genius...but if she can’t figure out who’s behind the freakish attacks, the victims—or what’s left of them—are going to keep piling up.

It’s scary. It’s twisted. It’s sick. It’s high school.


My Review:
  
Anyone who knows me knows that I just don't love zombie books, well for the most part anyways. Yet, I find I buy them all the time. I think it is some weird fascination honestly. I don't know.

Anywhoo, there are very few books about zombies that I have truly wanted to pick up and read and then actually enjoyed. And the first book in this series, Bad Taste In Boys was one of them. It was just a really fun read without being boring or too horrific or gory. I mean a geeky girl that save the town and gets the hot guy in the end? How can you beat that?

So I was kind of excited to read this one because I knew no matter what, I was going to get an entertaining read. Kate is just a fun character. She is smart and a little sassy and has a dry sarcastic sense of humor (something I just love).

This book picks off right where the first one left off. Kate has found a cure for the zombie virus and all is well....or maybe not.

There seems to be some sort of “other” out there targeting young adults and Kate, once again is on the job with a little more help this time from friends.

This was an action packed read. If I thought I liked the first one, this one was even better. You can't always say that with sequels. In fact, this one left me wanting more. I don't want to give anything away so I will just say this, once again this was a fun read full of the awesomeness that is Kate and her friends. Her witty mental commentary and her brilliance that always comes through and saves the day. Her geekiness that she tries to hide and fails to do completely and her absolute loyalty to those she cares about, all made this a great story I devoured in one sitting.

I really hope there will be more in this series because I love Kate, Jonah, Aaron, Kiki and Rocky.
