MAJOR SPOILERS - LIKE RUIN THE STORY SPOILERS - I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY THAT I CAN'T AVOID THE SPOILERS - PLEASE DON'T READ THIS REVIEW COMPLETELY IF YOU EVER PLAN TO READ THE BOOK.

Now that I've got that out of my system, and this review is set at 18+, I can say holy shit! That book - just - what? The book's narrator and one of the main character was Georgia Mason. Emphasis on the was, there. Not many authors kill off the narrator and main character, Mira Grant went there. I'm glad she did. I don't think I'm going to be able to get this book out of my head for weeks.

A summary? Georgia Mason and her brother, Shaun Mason are bloggers, drafted by a presidential candidate to follow his campaign in zombie-filled America. They get exclusives and hits on their sites rise until they are the number one site in the world, then the shit hits the fan, terrorism, espionage, all that fun stuff.

Entertainment. Or if you want a good shock. The last book I read by Mira Grant had a very predictable ending, I didn't quite expect this one. If anything, I expected the main charcter to have some sort of immunity or something, that would be a story told in the next book. I didnt expect her brother to shoot her in the back of the head.

Surprisingly, I liked how this story was all based around a presidential campaign. I didn't even realise it was a book about a presidential campaign when I started reading and rolled my eyes when I did find out. Mira Grant manages to make it interesting and understandable for someone who's not an American and for someone who isn't the biggest fan of politics.

Mira Grant's description was brilliant and the action was fast-paced and had me completely engrossed in the book. As I write this, I'm still in that after-book shock you can go into as you try and process all the things you've just read.

I don't think there was anything I didn't like!

I debated buying the next one, and read more about Shaun Mason, the brother, dealing with his sister's death. For now, I've decided against it. Georgia Mason was the main character and I liked her for it. Whilst her brother is a strong character, he doesn't seem to quite be the same. I'll read the next book eventually, just not yet. I have to get over this one first.

Shocked. I'm pretty sure that's the only word for it. Then, pretty sad.

I've got two reviews of books from another series by Mira Grant. The Parasitology series. I loved those books, but I think this one is even better!

If you plan to read this book, you probably shouldn't be reading this review. I know I should've kept the review as spoiler free as I could, but I couldn't and I had to get my thoughts about the book out. So, what's the point in this section, if it's at the end of the review and if you're here, reading the book won't be the same for you, as you know the main twist in it. If you have, and still want to read the book, then get it. I don't think I need to recommend it anymore than I already have.
