Quotes edit
-
“You know, surprisingly, they don't sell a lot of brains in the local 24-hour grocery store around the corner from my house.”
-
“I look at her and ask, flat out, "What's up?" Girl talk, of course, for, Back off my man, biotch.”

“Stamp: "Fine Maddy, Whatever. Take your little punk loser to the dance. I don't need you, Maddy. I can ask two dozen, three dozen chicks right now to go with me." Maddy: "Well then," I guess you better start stocking up on corsages.”
-
“The website didn't say how much brains--or even how many--I should eat, only that I should eat them in 48 hours OR ELSE. Why doesn't anyone pay attention to details anymore?

“"Are you crazy? Vampires aren't real! That's pure fiction!"”

Notes for Parents edit
Reading Level: Young Adults"Fischer really goes all out with this and makes zombies not must-have-brains, shuffling, decaying monsters but brings them up to a level of awesome that was previously only for vampires and werewolves." —Urban Bachelorette"A great introduction to a truly unique world . . . sets the bar high for YA horror novels." —Paperback Horror"This book is witty, funny, romantic, and downright brilliant. I highly recommend it to lovers of Paranormal Romance as well as readers who just want a breath of fresh air in the YA market." —YA Bound, (March 2011)"Dedicated zombie fans will want to read this book and may clamor for a sequel." —Kirkus Reviews, (March 15, 2011)"Truly terrifying, this is filled with action and a sizzle of romance, along with dances, death and back-stabbing BFFs." —Romantic Times, (April 2011)"This book has a good combination of humor, romance, and action . . . . I felt like I’ve known Maddy my whole life. I could not put this book down. I had to know what happened next. I hope Fischer writes a second book." —Casey J. Covert, Horror Web (March 2011)"Fans of zombie teen fiction (one of the coolest genres of all times) will want to pick this up and read it immediately." —Night Owl Teen, (March 2011)"Rusty has . . . remarkable talent and left me wanting to read more of his work. 5/5 Stars" —Uniquely Moi (April 18, 2011)
