Jake is a slacker who'd rather sit in his basement and play video games. He doesn't get out much, but one fateful night, he does and meets a hot, sexy barfly. It's by no way going to form a lasting relationship, more like a one-night stand. But it's definitely a girl and night that will change his world....forever.
Amanda sparkles down the halls of high school. She's one of those beautiful girls people want to stare at but know it's rude to. Her self-confidence is obvious, but people question why she would date a meathead like Chazz, who's more into skipping school and working out. She's getting tired of the whole relationship.
Cass is a loner. She had a few friends in high school, but had the opportunity to work for a secret division of the FBI, known as the NCD (Necrotic Control Division). She has some unusual gifts they are tapping into, and the NCD relies on Cass to track down zombies.
Their worlds will collide when Jake and Amanda manage to eat most of the senior class and then run. They are fugitives looking for their next meal (anyone say pervert alert?) And it's during this time they come to terms with how this zombie thing works. Throw what you think you know about zombies out the window. Cass has been tapped to find these crazed killers while the FBI creates a cover story, but little do they know that when Cass steps into the mind of Jake it's more about stepping into a romantic fantasy than tracking a killer. She's falling in love...with a zombie?
Jeff Hart writes a hilarious and gut-wrenching (yeah, I did it....pun intended) book about teens, zombies, men in suits and a possible cure to this whole mess. When reading it, I couldn't help thinking about the crazy guy in the Greenpeace Santa commercial (you have to check that out!), the Walking Dead, crazy Indians in war paint and scalp necklaces, and creepy fed agents wearing bowties. I triple dare you not to laugh through this immensely well-written and much needed hilarious horror genre! Hart definitely changes the definition of zombie that you'll have never read before into something extremely interesting and unexpected, which makes this book such a great read. The only thing that worries me is this was never published in hardcover. PLEASE write the sequel! I need know what happens in Iowa! Highly recommended
