Kate Grable is a good girl. She doesn't party, she does well in school, she knows what she's going to do in the future. She has a best friend, Rocky, who is Kate's opposite - beautiful, talented, loved by everyone. And to help supplement her career as a physician someday, Kate works with the football team as the manager as well as assists her teacher in a lab at school.
The trouble begins when Kate finds out that Coach has been giving the players steroids. She decides to take matters into her own hands and get rid of the steroids, but before she can it's too late. There's something in the vials that aren't what they seem, and soon most of the players, including Mike, the caveman, handsy one, are spewing black stuff from their mouths are turning the color of stinky cheese...and they are beginning to smell like them too. And it all happens at the first party of the year.
Kate, who usually doesn't go, ends up going with Rocky, but when things go awry, she doesn't know who to turn to. But quarterback Aaron does, and he turns to Kate for answers, as well as a date. But are romance and zombies a good mix, or will Kate have to make a decision about her love life because of contamination?
If you've read serious books for awhile, pick this one up for a great refreshing read of humor, romance and zombies. Harris takes a subject that has been on the forefront for awhile, but gives it a zippiness and gallows humor that makes it stand apart from other zombie books. Harris's character run the gamut of typical teens from the cheerleader to the quarterback to the overly hormonal littler brother Kate has to deal with. The adults only add to the books whimsy. Fans of zombies will enjoy it as will girls who enjoy romance. It's got a great cover too! Recommended for JH/HS
