Ani Romero should be your typical high
school junior. She's smart, well-liked, plays sports, hangs with friends, and
tries desperately not to let on how big a crush she has on Mike Brown.
No, wait. That was two years ago. Mike
won't talk to her, his girlfriend wants her dead, and Ani hasn't seen the
turf-side of a soccer field in far too long. Forced by her controlling mother
to join the emo crowd, she hates the black clothes and woe-is-me, depressing
outlook on life. She hates the music, and her new friends are neither nice nor
friendly.
Problem is, when you're dead and contagious
and still walking around, the black helicopters will swoop in and incinerate
you, and anyone unlucky enough to be too close. And Ani died at fourteen, with
only her mother's serum keeping her from becoming a mindless creature intent on
nothing but eating her friends. The wigs and heavy makeup of her new crowd make
the perfect cover, until her mother can find a cure.
The only zombie at Ohneka Falls High
School, she tries to fit in with a crowd she doesn't understand, and tries to
make Mike understand without revealing any of the truth. It's not working.
Add to that Dylan, emo creeper
extraordinaire, obsessed with death and dying, who gets a clue that Ani may be
more than she seems. As Dylan's obsession turns violent and her mother goes to
insane extremes to keep their secret, everything threatens to unravel.
Hi, everybody! I'm Patrick Freivald, and
according to most of my students there's something very, very wrong with my
brain. I hope you agree, and enjoy it as much as my readers have.
Thank you, Apryl, for letting me be a part
of your Blog Fest!
