Through the Zombie Glass

Through the Zombie Glass by Gena Showalter, 476 pages


This is the second book in Showalter's White Rabbit Chronicles. Again the book follows Alice as she and the rest of the zombie hunters strive to eliminate the zombies. Though this is less about that and more about Alice's inner struggle to stop herself from going zombie after she gets bitten. This is a very fast paced story that seems to leave behind some of the woven layers and romance that was featured in Alice in Zombieland.

You might remember from my previous review, or if you read the books yourself, that these zombies are quite different from the modern day depiction. They can only be seen by people with the right powers. If you don't have these powers you are basically zombie food. To fight the zombies Alice and the others must leave their bodies behind and project their spirits. I am not sure if I like this twist on the classical zombie but it is at least interesting.

This book was an adequate squeal to Alice in Zombieland. I was expecting more of the daring raids and zombie stomping action that the first one had, but seeing Alice struggle to stay human was at least original enough to keep me interested. I will be continuing in this series and look forward to what the next installment brings.

A note for the scorekeepers, this will be the last one for me this month.
