Review: Interesting spin on a zombie/time travel scenario
Rating: 4 out of 5

This and the following books of the series was a real change for me - especially since I typically enjoy a grittier zombie read.  The first book took some getting used to as it was filled with what I would call "flighty" LA girls - definitely not my cup-of-tea.  Yet there was a tongue-in-cheek appeal that caused me many chuckles. The main character seemed to always be caught in some sort of trouble (health and relationship-wise), yet that didn't bother me since I read many books as a form of escapism.  This series definitely filled that niche!  Once things fell into place (many "mysteries" surrounding the main character and her set of friends), I can strongly urge others to read the books.  I loved the time travel aspect and the ending was just right.  If you try the first book and enjoy it, do not buy the other books separately - get the rest in the book set.  I got these for my Kindle and feel I got my money's worth and then some.  I even re-read portions of some of the books due to the enjoyment factor.  These are perfect for anyone's lighthearted summer reads.I gave this a four-star rating as portions of book one required time getting used to the whole mindset of an LA group of young adults, as well as portions of the remaining five books of the series.  I guess one has to be from LA to understand their behavior.  Also, I probably would have re-titled the series from Apocalypse Babes to something less silly...but then again, it added to the humor that was within the book and the characters.FYI - zombies are really a minor, very minor, component to the later books. So if you want a zombie-filled saga - this is not for you.
