So 2 things about this that would normally turn me away.  1st-novella, 2nd--zombies.  But the one thing that would make me read this--RACHEL HIGGINSON!!  She has written some amazing book, and I can truly say that this is teaming up to join those ranks of amazing.First--I just want to say one thing--novella's are so frustrating!  They are too short, they cost as much as a sometimes really good full-legnth book can cost.  If it's like this and it's a series, then I know I can expect to spend at least $12 for a season of this.  With as much as I read, this is going to get expensive.  Also, Rachel is such an amazing story teller that I will always want a full book and not these little teasers.  This reason is why I did not give this the full 5 stars.Ok, on to the book.  I. Loved. IT.  The first page is so important.  You have to be gripped.  Especially when you're writing a genre that your target audience (women) is ify about.  Rachel gripped me.  She sucked me in.  And I want more!!!The premise and excitement was so there.  I loved Regan and Hayley.  Best friends sticking together at the end of the world as they know it.  Just trying to survive.  I loved that they were 'shopping' and still trying to kick butt.  And I agree, eyeliner IS important--even when running from zombies.Ok, last thing.  I can see it coming.  Hendrix.  He sounds so yummy.  He's already hooked me.  I can feel it already--the big build up.  And I'm anxiously waiting for MORE!!  Dominating, protecting, not saying much, but what is said is perfect!!Rachel, I love your imagination.  I will always buy your work...no matter if you write about taking out the trash.  I'm sure you would make that witty and wonderful, and somehow throw a love story in that.  Great Job---now just try not to keep us waiting too long.
