Release Date: A Mad Zombie Party - Gena Showalter (The White Rabbit Chronicles #4)

Published Date: September 29, 2015
Genre: Young Adult/Paranormal
Synopsis: The battle rages on. 

Ali Bell and Cole Holland's crew of zombie slayers thought they'd won the war against Anima Industries, the evil company responsible for capturing and experimenting on zombies in an effort to discover the secret to immortality. In the last epic clash, the slayers lost many of their crew and closest friends. But Frosty, the ice man himself, has not recovered from one casualty in particular—the love of his life, Kat Parker. 

On the path to self-annihilation, Frosty receives a message from beyond—Kat's spirit returns, insisting he partner with rogue slayer Camilla Marks. Frosty will do anything for Kat. Except that. Camilla is the one who betrayed them all, leading to Kat's death. 

But when Anima rises from the grave to become a force the slayers may not have the strength to overcome, Frosty, Camilla and all the slayers will have to work together to survive. And one broken slayer will learn that sometimes, the line between hate and attraction is blurred…and the road to redemption isn't through revenge, but in letting go of the past and grabbing hold of the future.

Happy Book Birthday to the amazing and talented Gena Showalter and A Mad Zombie Party because I mean, come on. If you haven't added these books onto your TBR list, you are missing out.

I just want to dance around with my Kindle and this book until I get the hardcover next week. I am so excited to read this book and I cannot wait to share my thoughts on it. Hopefully, I will not be too disappointed because usually the final books are heart-breaking and I want to hold on and beg the author to never end the series. 

It's a happy day yet a sad day... Hopefully Gena Showalter turns this into more books... But we will have to see. 

I will be back to update you guys on the review. You guys are awesome book nerds and don't you forget that!

UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!

It's in Frosty's POV and as well as Camilla's. Oh, even if Camilla is trying to redeem herself, she is the one who killed Kat and broke Frosty's heart. "Sugar tush" by booty. 

Honestly though, this book is making me giggle and gasp and giggle again. 

I am only half way though the book but I love every second of it and gobbling it up. Hopefully my package from Gena Showalter comes soon and I will be wearing cute little rabbit earrings because who doesn't want that. Now I think I am going to go ahead and be safe and rate this a good 4.5 out of 5 stars because it's Gena Showalter, people. Get your heads screwed on straight. 

Now I only took of .5 stars because I mean... The Barnes and Noble edition has a special little wedding scene and I want it but I am getting my book tomorrow so it would be kind of pointless to try to return it and get a more expensive one.

Blog you later, awesome book nerds and I will be back soon with some more reviews to shower you with.

The Queen of Zombie Hearts - Gena Showalter (The White Rabbit Chronicles #3)

Published Date: September 30, 2014
Genre: Young Adult/Paranormal

Synopsis: I have a plan. 

We'll either destroy them for good, or they'll destroy us. 


Either way, only one of us is walking away. 


In the stunning conclusion to the wildly popular White Rabbit Chronicles, Alice "Ali" Bell thinks the worst is behind her. She's ready to take the next step with boyfriend Cole Holland, the leader of the zombie slayers…until Anima Industries, the agency controlling the zombies, launches a sneak attack, killing four of her friends. It's then she realizes that humans can be more dangerous than monsters…and the worst has only begun. 


As the surviving slayers prepare for war, Ali discovers she, too, can control the zombies…and she isn't the girl she thought she was. She's connected to the woman responsible for killing—and turning—Cole's mother. How can their relationship endure? As secrets come to light, and more slayers are taken or killed, Ali will fight harder than ever to bring down Anima—even sacrificing her own life for those she loves.


Anima... You can suck my a$$ and Ali's too and all the goddamn slayers because you are an evil, no-good doing, company that makes me want to scream my head off. Which I won't but not because I don't want to but because I am in class or work.

What kind of a name is Anima anyways? Could they not have created a better name? I tried saying Anima in my best evil-ish voice that usually turns out with a hint of demon... But hey. I imagine a goddamn bald guy with a long beard in a swivel chair, holding a white fluffy cat, stroking it and turning saying, "Vellll-come... I have veen vaiting for you, my darlings." Like come on... I can't even deal with the name. 

Anyways. My review and enough of the ranting. For now.

Finally! Cole and Alice break their sexual tension after going back and forth about it. I mean, yeah, it's a hard decision but not that hard. 

After ZA was destroyed, they have a bigger problem on their hands. Someone is killing their friends and using them in zombie attacks against them. The heartbreaking thing is that they have to killed all over again. No one should have to go through that pain.

Now... I am going to rate this a good 4.5 out of 5 stars and only a .5 off because I mean, there were some parts that made me want to cringe but there were moments of kicking ass and "AWEEEEE". 

Cole is just drool-worthy and everyone should have a Cole in their lives... Or an Alice. However you roll.

Go ahead and put this on your TBR list. You will not be disappointed. Onward, my awesome book nerds, and let Gena Showalter's, A Mad Zombie Party be released! Woohoo!

Blog you later, awesome book nerds and catch me at a book store while I blitz some books for Showalter. 

Through the Zombie Glass - Gena Showalter (The White Rabbit Chronicles #2)

Published Date: September 24, 2013
Genre: Young Adult/Paranormal
Synopsis: Zombies stalk the night. Forget blood and brains. These monsters hunger for human souls. Sadly, they've got mine...
Alice Bell has lost so much. Family. Friends. A home. She thought she had nothing else to give. She was wrong.
After a new zombie attack, strange things begin to happen to her. Mirrors come to life, and the whispers of the dead assault her ears. But the worst? A terrible darkness blooms inside her, urging her to do very wicked things.
She's never needed her team of zombie slayers more, but ultra bad-boy Cole Holland, the leader and her boyfriend, suddenly withdraws from her...from everyone. Now, with her best friend Kat at her side, Ali must kill the zombies, uncover Cole's secret and learn to fight the darkness.
But the clock is ticking...and if she fails at a single task, they're all doomed.
 


Holy... First off... Just looking at this cover, I just start giggling. I loved the first cover because it was artistically done. This one. It looks like the Wayans brothers' dressing up and coming back for a White Chicks 2. Please do not try to argue that you cannot see them in this. Because I mean come on. It is right there.

Anyways, onto my review. You just keep falling in love with Alice's personality. She's snarky, smart, and downright strong. However, as she goes out for a nice night to the football game with her friends because she needed to get out of the house, the stench of rot hits her nose and she runs out of there to protect her friends. 

Unfortunately... There are hordes of zombies and you are amazed by the mass that has grown. Well, not that surprised. As her slayer friends and her are fighting them off, her old friend, Justin is bitten and it just goes downhill from there. She runs over to go and check on him and bam. She gets bitten as well by him. Not what you were expecting, right?

It sounds so awesome though considering that takes a bit from World War Z because you never know how long it takes for the infection to spread to your spirit and give you the endless hunger. But you're going to have to read this book to know what goes on next.

Onto my review. This book leads through many emotions and some of them were not to great. Alice, love her to death for her big heart no matter what she goes through, again goes through several more tragedies. All the more, heartbreaking.

I am going to go ahead and rate this a good 4 out of 5 stars and I am only deducting a star off for making me sob during this book. I absolutely hate death and considering I was in class when it happened, not a good choice, Showalter. 

This most definitely can be put on your TBR list because I mean, come on, it's Gena Showalter.

Alright, blog you later, awesome book nerds and I will be back tonight with The Queen of Zombie Hearts and tomorrow morning with A Mad Zombie Party [Just ranting about how excited I am for the book].

Alice in Zombieland - Gena Showalter (The White Rabbit Chronicles #1)

Published Date: September 25, 2012
Genre: Young Adult/Paranormal
Synopsis: Zombies stalk the night. Forget blood and brains. These monsters hunger for human souls. Sadly, they've got mine...
Alice Bell has lost so much. Family. Friends. A home. She thought she had nothing else to give. She was wrong.
After a new zombie attack, strange things begin to happen to her. Mirrors come to life, and the whispers of the dead assault her ears. But the worst? A terrible darkness blooms inside her, urging her to do very wicked things.
She's never needed her team of zombie slayers more, but ultra bad-boy Cole Holland, the leader and her boyfriend, suddenly withdraws from her...from everyone. Now, with her best friend Kat at her side, Ali must kill the zombies, uncover Cole's secret and learn to fight the darkness.
But the clock is ticking...and if she fails at a single task, they're all doomed.
 


Let's mesh Alice in Wonderland meets Zombieland with a fresh take on zombies in general. I was expecting a total sap story but I love Alice and her snarky personality. She was inside a prison... Of her own home. No going out at night. No going to the cemetery. School and back. But she had her little eight-year old sister to cherish and love. Her mother is her mother: Caring, sweet, loving. Her father is a drunk and raves on and on about the monsters that he sees.

Her birthday was the day that she would never forget. She loses everything. All because she pestered her mother about going to see Emma's recital. She blames herself and sinks back into a dark hole. Until she meets Kat. True story. 

Her life slowly starts to brighten up until she meets Cole. She melts for his 6 foot 3 muscular build and his dreamy violet eyes. She then learns from him that yes, the monsters that her father raved about and she hated him for it, were actually real even if she thought they were hallucinations. 

I even fell for Cole... And Frosty and Bronx, and so on because hell. They are all attractive. So please add them onto my book boyfriends list.

Now off with their bloody heads. 

I am going to have to rate this book a great 5 out of 5 stars because I fell in love with Gena Showalter's books. This is a must-read and I am usually not big on the paranormal until Cassandra Clare and Gena Showalter. People have to put this series on their TBR list. Or just drop everything and read it now.

Blog you in about 10 minutes considering I will be coming back for Through the Zombie Glass.

The Green Inferno (Movie Review)

Let me just say this, if you want the blood and gore. You won't get it here. Yeah, there were some parts that made you cringe or gag. Eli Roth kept it PG-13 and I think the only reason why I believe it was rated as R was because you saw a penis here and there, touching, and boobs. Can't see the boobs unless you're over 17, right?

Release Date: September 25, 2015
Genre: Horror
Synopsis: 
New York college student Justine (Lorenza Izzo), a lawyer's daughter, meets a student activist named Alejandro (Ariel Levy) when he goes on a hunger strike on behalf of underpaid janitors. Smitten, Justine agrees to help Alejandro undertake his next project: to save the Amazon. She soon learns to regret her decision when their plane crashes in the Peruvian jungle and she and the rest of their group are taken captive by a tribe of hungry cannibals.

One of the movies that I will never add to my horror movie collection nor would ever watch it again if someone does have the audacity to buy it. I am not going to lie... I learned about the cannibalistic tribe but honestly they mistook the group to be part of the group that was destroying their homes. 

I will save you the $11 of watching it and give you what I got in.

College freshman wants to do something for the world, finds an activist group, flies to the Amazon, group chains themselves to trees, main girl experiences near-death experience, on plane ride back home, plane breaks down and crashes, tribe ambushes them, eaten one by one. Main girl survives. Of course she does. Of course she does!

I was expecting gore. I was expecting hardcore cannibalism but honestly, I either cringed at the screaming or I was laughing at the movie. There was a sweet cannibal kid that felt that what they were doing was wrong... Guess what he does?  

There was a funny part that does involve hyper-ness and the munchies... Can you guess what happens? Yeah, you just got the idea. I was laughing a bit to hard at that scene...

This movie was not god-awful but it wasn't a 5 out of 5 stars. We are going to go ahead and be generous and rate this movie a 2.7 stars out of 5. Do not and I warn... Do not spend money to watch this.

Alright, I will blog you later, awesome nerds and I will be back with The White Rabbit Chronicles series by Gena Showalter in order to celebrate her upcoming book to be released on the 29th of September and Forever with You - Jennifer L. Armentrout, also being released on the 29th of September.
