Alice in Zombieland...

Title: Alice in Zombieland
Author: Gena Showalter

Summary:  

She won't rest until she's sent every walking corpse back to its grave. Forever.

If anyone had told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. From blissful to tragic, innocent to ruined? Please. But that's all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone.

Her father was right. The monsters are real.

To avenge her family, Ali must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys, Cole Holland. But Cole has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn't careful, those secrets might just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies.

Review: 

So, Alice in Zombieland, while not really an Alice in wonderland retelling at all, is still an awesomely exciting novel.  
The beginning of this novel- in the very first chapter- is devastating, and thrusts the reader directly into the feels with Alice.
And the emotions dont stop throughout the entire book.

I liked the characters. Alice grows significantly in the book. and learns from her mistakes.
Cole... is the best ever.
Kat -while at first off-putting and rather annoying- ends up being a sense of happiness in an otherwise sad world.
the lore of the zombies, was new, different, and very perfect. I loved it. completely. I have no qualms at all, in any way, with this zombie world Showlater created.
