Undead

Undead (Undead #1)

by Kirsty McKay

Bobby (a girl I thought was a boy for 3 chapters) is on a school trip at a ski place somewhere in England. The rebel boy, Smitty, is on the bus with her while they wait for their teacher to get back. They watch their classmates laugh and get offered gross carrot juice from a dude in a carrot costume. The bus gets hit, bus driver goes and checks it out (DON'T DO IT!!), and gets hurt. They return to the bus. Alice, the cool, cheerleader girl, pounds on the bus door freaking out that everyone is dead and their teacher tried to bite her. After witnessing the newly zombified teacher themselves, Smitty and Bobby conclude that all their classmates are undead pieces of meat. Question now is to stay on the bus or get away?? But to where?? 

What I picture Alice would be like (from Moonstone books)

Through various means and several locations later, Smitty, Bobby, and Alice (aka Malice) are joined by Pete, Lily and her little 3 year old brother, Cam. Do they make it safely out of the school trip from hell? I'll let you in on a secret.........just like a horror movie, characters gotta die...read to find out who makes it and who doesn't. MWHAHAHA!

Holy shiznuts as Smitty would say. I'm at a loss of words for how this ended. It was really ominous. I won't go into detail. Don't want to spoil anything. The characters are funny and crazy; the best combination. Loved it all. It had enough zombie and fear mixed in with my kind of humor and sarcasm. Glad it wasn't a love story. It would have been better that Twilight either way.
