My Review:

Rating:

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SERIES!! CAN"T GET ENOUGH!!

Gena Showalter is a remarkable author, she has definitely moved to my favorite author list. She has a way of writing that captivates you and makes it easy to connect with each and every one of the characters, whether they are major or minor. The writing is so beautifully spun together that you feel as though you have been transported into the middle of a zombie battle yourself.

With Alice in Zombieland, I was hooked from the very first page, however with this book I had a hard time staying focused and getting absorbed into the story. Through the Zombie Glass started off slower and was missing some of that gripping mystery I so loved in the first book. However, has I got further into the story, the mysteries started to unfold and the need to know what was going to happen kept me trucking through and I can honestly say I was not disappointed. 

I enjoyed that new characters were brought into the story, Gavin and Veronica. They stirred things up between Cole and Alice, adding to the storyline. 

Alice's visions were gone or so she thought until Gavin walks into her line of sight, only to upset the relationship between Cole and Alice. Leading to Cole turning to an old romance. As much as I hated their break up, I felt it was necessary in order for both characters to grow. Their separation made them stronger as a duo. 

Even so, Alice has more important things to worry about, than her broken relationship with Cole. Something is wrong with her, the hunger and angry is getting stronger and she needs to find a way to stop the monster inside her before its too late. 

I loved the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde twist to Alice's character. Discovering the mysteries behind how this all happened to her and why Anima wanted her, is what pulled me back in after the slow beginning. 

This series is phenomenal and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book. Fairytale retellings are some of my favorite books to read and this retelling has an amazing plot twist, with zombies and slayers. I would definitely recommend this series!! I can't get enough of these books and think an Amazon purchase is in my future. :)
