I have a plan.



We'll either destroy them for good, or they'll destroy us.



Either way, only one of us is walking away.



In the stunning conclusion to the wildly popular White Rabbit Chronicles, Alice
"Ali" Bell thinks the worst is behind her. She's ready to take the
next step with boyfriend Cole Holland, the leader of the zombie slayers…until
Anima Industries, the agency controlling the zombies, launches a sneak attack,
killing four of her friends. It's then she realizes that humans can be more
dangerous than monsters…and the worst has only begun.



As the surviving slayers prepare for war, Ali discovers she, too, can control
the zombies…and she isn't the girl she thought she was. She's connected to the
woman responsible for killing—and turning—Cole's mother. How can their
relationship endure? As secrets come to light, and more slayers are taken or
killed, Ali will fight harder than ever to bring down Anima—even sacrificing her
own life for those she loves.

Alice in Zombieland

Author: Gena Showalter
Goodreads Rating: 4.44
My Rating: 5 Stars
Pages: 404
Reviewed by: Nicole

I got this book from BEA thanks to Kristan from Lost Amongst The Shelves who dragged me to the Harlequin booth so we could be one of the first 50 people in line to get a copy. It was so worth it once I got to read this bad boy. Beautiful cover and a beautiful inside too.

Goodreads Synopses:

She won’t rest until she’s sent every walking corpse back to its grave. Forever.

Had anyone told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. From blissful to tragic, innocent to ruined? Please. But that’s all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone.

Her father was right. The monsters are real….

To avenge her family, Ali must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys, Cole Holland. But Cole has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn’t careful, those secrets might just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies….


I wish I could go back and do a thousand things differently.
I'd tell my sister no.
I'd never beg my mother to talk to my dad.
I'd zip my lips and swallow those hateful words.
Or, barring all of that, I'd hug my sister, my mom and my dad one last time.
I'd tell them I love them.I wish... Yeah, I wish. 

It's almost hard to talk about how much I really liked this book. I'm a big zombie fan for real, and this book blew my pants off because its an original zombie story, you heard me, ORIGINAL. This Alice isn't like Alice in Wonderland, there are the aspects to questioning her sanity, following white rabbits and our heroine's name is Alice, but the similarities end there.

This Alice isn't timid, she's kick ass and has (if I can borrow the beloved Kat's term) Lady Balls to the max. I loved being in her head because her narration flowed. It was like you were in her head as she met Cole, the dark mysterious boy that she has a super connection with and as she puzzled over her new friend Kat. I even loved her reactions to her quirky grandparents who tried to be hip!

Alrighty, back on track... The reason I say that this book is original is because the zombie's aren't mindlessly wandering down your street waiting for the next person to walk by, they're spirit zombie which means that its not a physical attack, its spiritual. I liked this because I was totally expecting a zombie mad hatter to be eating people on the streets. I liked that there was this totally new aspect to what and who zombies were. (I also totally just had an epiphany about the mad hatter, but you have to read the book to find out!)

I will admit that the book seemed a little preachy at points about pre-marital sex and a tad about the spiritual plane, but that is easily overlooked when you look at just how awesome and kick ass this book is. There's romance and there's ass kicking, and there is no cursing. All of the characters come to life, Kat is just crazy and Cole is just smoldering. I can't wait to get my hands on the second book and I'm so bummed that I have to wait at least a year before I can have it! Another book that I will for sure be buying.

BEA Recap Day 3

Kristan and I with the pretty boys.

So day three was actually Wednesday for me. That day I had a friend who is an educator come with me, so I didn't feel alone. Little, did I know that this day of them all would be a day that I would feel the least alone. I started out the day with Kristan and Jamie and Lexie who I didn't get to see much of the day or any of the days really. It was there that we met Sylvia who turned out to be someone awesome to spend the day with. While we were waiting on line, two beautiful Angel boys started walking around talking about the cover reveal of the final book in the Hush, Hush saga.

We started out hitting booths that we really wanted and then Kristan and Sylvia and I meet up at the Harlequin booth for their Teen Hour signing. We had gone to their signing the day before and it was there that we found out we missed Alice in Zombieland, a book that went out to the first 50 people. We made sure we were the first 50 on Wednesday. We shows up 2 hours early and managed to convince them to hand out the books because I had to run over to Sarah J Maas's signing of Throne of Glass. I was super stoked that I got the books signed and was able to accrue so many more books in those two hours. Sylvia and I had a debate on how to pronounce Julie Kagawa's name, which she settled in my favor. I also got to meet Kady Cross who had bubblegum pink hair (which I loved) and she was rocking some great crowns on her person.

Our little group. Angel, me, Sylvia, Jamie and Kristan.

From there we went to gather a few more books, and then I sat in line for the Harper Teen signing, another two hours where everyone left their books with me while they ran around and got more. Not that I'm complaining, I got to sit while everyone else made a mad dash for other books. Kristan went to the Throne of Glass galley drop and grabbed me an extra for me to pass on to my co-blogger Amy. (Happy Birthday Amy!) Then it turns out that the 5th in our group, Angel grabbed another one for me, I wound up with three copies. Sylvia grabbed me The Name of The Star by Maureen Johnson because I was stuck holding down the fort.

After that there wasn't much else going on, I managed to grab Libba Bray's The Diviners signed with a really cool necklace as well. I think one of the best moments was when I managed to grab Eve and Adam after I missed getting it on Tuesday. That was a really great moment. My biggest regret is not taking more pictures to show you guys, I guess there is just so much going on that I didn't realize how much time I didn't have to do a lot of things.

On my way back from the Javits Center (alone since my friend left half way through the day), I saw that they were placing the space ship on the Intrepid and that was really cool to get to see. While on the ferry back to the mainland, I met Anna from Read Between the Lines who were also their way to their hotel. They didn't get a copy of Throne of Glass, so I gave them one of my other copies and a few secrets about what I learned through the day.

My mess of Day 3 on the Living Room Floor.
