'Death's Awakening' is the first book in a fantastic new YA supernatural series that mixes magic with a zombie apocalypse.I hardly even know where to start with this one, it was just so good in every imaginable way, so if you don't want to hear me have a fan-girl gush you'd best look away now!  I've read Cannon's Peachville High series so it came as no surprise that her characters were brilliantly written once again; it was just so easy to connect with them.  I particularly liked Parrish, the loner girl and Crash, the hacker, but honestly I liked them all, even high maintenance Karmen!The story is truly unique and puts a new spin on the typical zombie apocalypse story.  There are some nice jumpy moments and creepy parts to keep zombie horror fans happy, but there is so much more to the story.  The supernatural side of things is intriguing and sort of takes a backseat to the zombie side of the story until later on.  I'm still in awe of how well Cannon wove the supernatural and zombie horror genres together here.  There's quite a lot going on but it never feels like too much to keep track of.  The twists to the story were excellent and everything was falling into place so effortlessly by the end.I hope it's not going to be a long wait for the second book.  I'm dying to find out what happens next.  Highly recommended for fans of YA Supernatural/Paranormal/Horror!
