Dad...Zombie. Mom...Long gone. Me? Well that's the scary part. The "Real World" is a frightening place. Just ask sixteen-year old orphan Dru Anderson, a tough girl who has taken down her fair share of bad guys. She's armed, dangerous, and ready to kill first and ask questions later. So it's gonna take her a while to figure out who she can trust...
Ever since her grandma died Dru has been traveling around with her father as he hunts down things like zombies and vampires, entities the rest of the world doesn't want to think about. After her dad leaves one night on yet another hunting trip without her, she never sees him again. Well at least not alive...as a rotting zombie bursts through her front door Dru is horrified as she realizes it is her father.
With no one else to turn to Dru hooks up with Graves, a kid from school who she soon finds out actually lives in their local mall. When she is a attacked again, this time by a werewolf, she knows something is up. Who wants her dead? After tracking down a friend of her dads to find out exactly who she can trust, Dru meets Christophe, a half breed vampire, a djamphir(who happens to smell like apple pie.) What he tells her about her mother and their family turns everything upside down.
I REALLY enjoyed this book. It's one of those books that is action packed! There is so much detail and action I had to slow down my reading pace or I was going to miss something! Dru is a very compelling character, she is strong yet you can see she longs to have someone in her life she can really count on. Her relationship with Graves (the boy in the mall) grows stronger through out the story. I like that kid, a funny, smart-alec but you can see he really does care about Dru.
The other charactors, Dru's dad, Christophe and a few others (don't want to spoil anything!) we don't get to know too well, but with the second book coming out (Betrayals) I'm sure we are in for a lot more details, action and gore! And isn't that cover coolio?
I think this book would be okay for middle schools. I usually put a YA sticker on books I'll check out to 8th graders only (not 6th or 7th graders) a few cuss words, a little gore. Read on!
Score: 4 points
