Three very different high school girls come together to extract revenge on those who've wronged them. Great story! The authors certainly know how to portray the angst of high school students! I was wasn't expecting the ending! Can' wait for the sequel!

Advanced reader copy from NetGalley

A quick spreading virus turns most of the students at a Phoenix high school into zombies. A group of uninflected students battles to survive. Lots of action, blood, bone crunching and gore. A fast read that will be popular for high school students who are horror and zombie fans.
