Zom-B Baby by Darren Shan‏

Summary from Goodreads

B has spent the last few months bunking with the Angels, a group of teens dedicated to eradicating the evil dead from the face of the earth, beginning with the undead roaming the abandoned wreckage that was once London. But the Angels' mission is a bit more complicated than that, and B takes to the streets of a very changed London to decide: is it a mission really to be believed? But instead of answers, B finds a horror beyond imagining.

My Review

I LOVED this instalment! I actually think it's the best of the lot so far.

I'm not going to lie, this book is a little different from the others, in that not a lot of big things happen. This story is mostly all about B, she really grows as a person, matures (a little) and really just tries to find her place in this new world. She wants to belong and is trying to figure it all out on typical snarky B style!

B takes some time out from Dr Oystien and his Angels, after his little God talk. She isn't a believer, so she takes a step back to mull things over. She thinks the good doctor is raving mad and she's not one to be talked into anything.

The arrival of a certain zombie baby had me very excited indeed. We first heard about the zombie babies in the first book, when B has nightmares about them - so it was awesome to finally meet them in the flesh. It said some very strange things and I can't wait to see what the freakish little thing will do next.

As always the fantastic illustrations really bring these stories to life, but if I'm completely honest, I'm not a big fan of the red being added - I thought the back and white looked ace!

Zom-B Baby is written ghoulish perfection. The pacing is fast, furious and to the point. There is lots of character growth and I loved the big kick-ass action scenes. I always find that these books are over far to quickly for my liking and I just wish that I didn't have to wait on the next moreish book.

4.5 / 5 Stars!

Cuckoo Song by Frances Hardinge - Blog Tour!

Summary from Goodreads The first things to shift were the doll's eyes, the beautiful grey-green glass eyes. Slowly they swivelled, until their gaze was resting on Triss's face. Then the tiny mouth moved, opened to speak. 'What are you doing here?' It was uttered in tones of outrage and surprise, and in a voice as cold and musical as the clinking of cups. 'Who do you think you are? This is my family.' When Triss wakes up after an accident, she knows that something is very wrong. She is insatiably hungry; her sister seems scared of her and her parents whisper behind closed doors. She looks through her diary to try to remember, but the pages have been ripped out. Soon Triss discovers that what happened to her is more strange and terrible than she could ever have imagined, and that she is quite literally not herself. In a quest find the truth she must travel into the terrifying Underbelly of the city to meet a twisted architect who has dark designs on ...
