How can you love (or even like) someone who is walking around dead? How does that living-dead person, who in this case retains full use of her mind, cope with being a corpse? This is what Nathan and Trina face. Nathan is alive and well, just your average kid -- until his older sister's best friend, Trina, comes back from the grave weeks after her untimely accidental death. Unfortunately for Nathan, Trina has seen visions indicating that he's mankind's best hope during the forthcoming zombie apocalypse, and she's there to guide him. Trina isn't too happy about the vision either. Nathan, of all people? Really?There's plenty of tension, action, and young-adult horror. And as unlikely as Nathan and Trina would be together under normal circumstances, there's the hint of a would-be romance on the horizon -- which can't really happen because, you know, she's DEAD and everything. So it'll be interesting to see how THAT turns out in the next couple of books. Book One deals with Trina's rising and helping Nathan to survive the break-out of the zombie apocalypse. This is a three-book ride, and Book Two promises some very interesting revelations about Trina's visions, where they come from, and who (or what) is sending them. Somehow or another, she and Nathan will save mankind...
