I had to sit on writing this review for a week or so because I honestly didn't know what to think.

I loved the different take on zombies - though I'm starting to notice a trend lately that zombies are more "human" and less shambling dead. In this story, the zombies are people who don't believe that Jesus is their savior.

The book is unapologically Christian - and I do strongly think you have to at least have a vague Christian outlook to really enjoy the book, otherwise you will lose out on a lot of the story.

There were a lot of parts to the book that I really enjoyed - Ivy going shopping while her aunt guarded over her, ready with a taser to stop anything that moved - I was bugged by Ivy's constant whining in the beginning about how her aunt was so mean to her by making her go shopping or use her manners, yet it's evident throughout the book that her aunt loves her and Ivy adores her. The inconsistencies like that throughout the book really bugged me. Yes, readers notice things like this.

All in all, it was a great, YA Christian story, with some zombies and romance thrown in for good measure.
