You ever read one of those books that shocks you? Like you go back to read the summary to make sure you're reading the same thing being advertised? This was one for me. I expected zombies...I expected an old-flame reunion with perhaps a little romance. What Wish Upon A Star surprised me with, though, was an action-packed adventure that kept me flipping pages until the very end.Wish Upon A Star is written from Ceri's point-of-view. Years after having gotten dumped days from her wedding to Jason, she's at her ex-husband's business to deal with a few visitation issues. That's where Jason finds her...and where her life almost ends more times than I can count.While Ceri needs to talk to the evil ex-husband about their daughter, Jason and his father need to speak with him about the death of his brother. What happens next is a thrill-ride of action, suspense and multiple cliff-hanging chapters in a row. Zombies...fire...bombs...non-functioning elevators...and one really big marionette come into play as Ceri and Jason rush to save her daughter.And then...AND THEN! Romance, a lovely sense of UST building throughout the adventure until finally...FINALLY...I'm going to leave that there. Trust me, you'd rather read it than have me summarize it.I give this novella 3.5 stars. Drama, romance and a bit of a creep factor due to the zombie invasion all make this a perfect book for a Fall evening. It's a quick read with a strong plot and well-written characters.
