After Adam is killed by Pete, a zombie hater, he returns to life. Phoebe feels love and guilt that Adam died saving her. Since Adam is techincally still walking around, Pete was not convicted of murder. Phoebe spends a lot of time with Adam since she was told that love brings the undead back faster. Adam struggles with simple movement and speech. The rights of the undead are being tried. Groups are out to see the zombies returned to complete death or to do scientific research on them.
I could go on and on but the book really wasn't as good as the first one. I was excited to pick this book up to see what happened with the zombie love triangle between Phoebe and Adam and Tommy. I wish I had only checked it out from the library instead of purchasing it. It took forever for the book to go anywhere. Not until the very end is there very much action but it felt unfinished. I hate second books that are merely a bridge to book three.
I will definitely read the next book in the series, "Passing Strange", because it has one of the better characters, Karen, a zombie sometimes passing as human. By the end of the book we are unsure what has happened to her. I have the feeling that there will be loose ends even as the series wraps up. I also have suspicions about what will happen next and will be glad to have everything explained.
Rating 3 Meh.......
Rating PG 13 Death, zombies, murder, torture, language.
