Zom-B Mission by Darren Shan

Sumary from Goodreads

What has happened to the world since the dead took over? Where have the humans gone to hide? Who do the living most have to fear? B Smith is heading for unknown territory...Leading a group of humans through London and out into zombie-infested suburbs sounds like suicide - but not for the undead! Even so, the horrors of the journey will be beyond anything B has yet seen ...'Do not underestimate the dangers of this mission. Other zombies will not ignore you when they catch the scent of fresh brains. You will almost surely be called upon to fight. The city and countryside are full of angry, bitter people who are trying to execute as many of the undead as they can. They will not distinguish between a revitalised and a revived. Most do not know there is a difference. And most would not care.'

Hardcover, 224 pages
Published March 27th 2014 by Simon & Schuster Childrens Books



My Review

You know, I live for these devilishly moreish Zom-B books! Just look at the artwork on that front cover - the guys over at Simon & Schuster always do a cracking job!

Zom-B Mission sees B, and her group actually getting to go out in the big bad world on their very first mission! What an action packed mission it was. There were lots of interesting little tidbits, also some old faces and lots of big shockers to keep you glued!

I always love diving into Shan's explosively gruesome worlds, because you can never quite know what to expect. Again, I've stumbled across things that I never could of possibly imagined would of been tucked among these pages. Mr Shan knows how to keep readers hooked and wanting more. 

The illustrations are always a big plus. I read like a wild thing in search of catching a glimpse of the next one. I really do think they add a lot to the overall story.

Zom-B Mission takes us on a new journey out of the city. It's interesting to see the group work as a team and for B not to be flying solo. The action and surprises are on from the off and the end comes all too soon for my liking. Why oh why can't these books be longer? Bring on the next adventure already....

3.5 / 5 stars

Flashes by Tim O' Rourke - Blog Tour!

Summary from Goodreads Flashes is the first in a new series of YA paranormal crime novels in which a 17-year-old girl cannot help seeing glimpses of dead people who seem to want her aid - much to the consternation of her boyfriend, who has just started work for the local CID. ***This is the full paperback novel--which was originally released in three separate parts over the course of three months via ebook. Paperback , 352 pages Published June 5th 2014 by Chicken House Ltd  My Review Wow! Flashes is an extraordinary crime/thriller with a fantastic supernatural twist. I loved so much about it and the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I sussed out the mystery quite early on. Saying that, it still thrilled and excited me seeing everything unravel for main character, Charley. I really really liked Charley. She's a bit of a loaner but is strong willed and really down-to-earth. After the death of her best-friend, her life seems to fall in around h...

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 ...
