First Thought When Finished: What an absolutely fun ride Plague Town by Dana Fredsti was! Perfect addition to my zombie shelf!
What I Loved: The thing I loved most about Plague Town: the banter. I was pretty much living for the moments of dialogue between the characters. There were some pretty witty, fast-paced barbs traded and I loved each and every one! Ash was a great leading lady! She manages to get in and out of so many troubling spots that you can’t help but root for her. Plus, you have to love her little screw you’s to the system. Nathan was my favorite male character! Once he got in the mix the fun level just sky rocketed!
What I Liked: Pretty much the rest of the characters in the book were dead-on perfect for the story. Each brought something to the table and had moments to shine. I really liked all the action too. Plague Town had a great combo of action/story.
Final Thought: I will be counting down to book 2! It needs to be here already 🙂
Some great lines:
“At least part of me sparkled. Although not in a Twilight kind of way”
“Yeah. Zombies. unless you have a better word for people who look dead, smell dead, and act dead, except for the whole walking-around-and-trying-to-eat-flesh part.”
“Guess I’ve learned we’re not always what we eat.”
“Oh, Christ on a crutch.” Nathan shut his eyes and rubbed a hand on his forehead, as if trying to massage away reality. “Simone Fraser. I should have known you’d be part of this whole clusterfuck.”

I am adding this to my shelf it sounds awesome. Loved the quotes that last one…Christ on a crutch…so wicked it made me laugh!
You are a bad influence. You are converting me to zombie centric book!!
Putting in my TBR 😉
I am sometimes wary of zombie books, but this one sounds like it might be okay. I love those one-liners, good stuff 🙂
This one is more “fun” than traditional zombie break out stories. I had a lot of fun reading it 🙂
I really enjoyed your review – I’m a fan of both witty banter and zombie novels! 🙂 I have added this to my TBR list.
This one fits both of those bills pretty darn well 🙂
So excited. Sounds like it was a great book club book. I love that it seems like chicks might be taking control during the zombie Apocolypse. “you boys did enough. Thanks, but no thanks. We’ve got it from here.”
I think you would love this one! I agree the women are kicking ass post Zombies!
Sharp dialogue goes straight to my heart. This one sounds right up my alley!
Very sharp and witty dialogue! Don’t drink while reading 🙂
Oh this looks like another zombie book I’ll be adding to the wishlist. Love that banter!
This one is probably going in my snort club too 🙂
*groans* More zombies? Well, I am a sucker for good banter, so I bite…. LOL
LOL Yes more zombies though I don’t have another on the horizon till White Trash Zombies get the Blues 🙂 Then I will be all over them again 🙂
Sold! I was reading through your review hoping it wouldn’t end up being mid series or something because this sounds like a lot of fun.
Nope first one in the series and I think the 2nd one is due out later this year (though don’t quote me —I have slept since I read that)
Oh those icky zombies, she better take them down, lol
She kicks their asses and one case gets their name (don’t ask how LOL)
Oooo I do love witty banter! It’s so much fun to read great dialogue – kind of like watching a tennis match and seeing who’s going to zing the next witty retort in there:)
The team had a very sibling like banter that was just FUN! Much like I imagine the military barracks are 🙂
