This was a quick, fun read with sapphic, spooky vibes with the perfect opening line! I really enjoyed Frankie and Ivy’s story. They are two seemingly opposite characters - goth girl/cheerleader, grumpy/sunshine - but when it comes down to it, they really aren’t all that different under the surface. Babylove is kind of a combination of The Craft, Warm Bodies, Mean Girls, and Frankenweenie…but sapphic! You get pet resurrection, zombies, rituals, and other paranormal goodness all mixed up with the typical teen high school popularity drama of who’s cool and who’s not. It was an all around quick and enjoyable read!

I didn’t realize until after I read this book that it was a prequel to I.S. Belle’s Zombabe. I don’t think it was necessary to read Zombabe first, but I think it would have helped me have a better understanding about the town (Bulldeen) and who the characters were. I’m looking forward to the next two books in the series and hope to learn more about Bulldeen and this spooky cast of characters.
