Zombie Queen of Newbury High

This. Book. was. SO. Durn. CUTE!

A new twist on YA paranormal. I finished it in 1 sitting. All Mia wants to do is go to Prom with Rob, since hey! he asked her to prom after only 5 dates! Her dreams are shattered when he sits next to Samantha (the cheer queen/miss popular) in class. Thinking shes lost her date, her hypochondriac friend takes her to buy a love potion.

Thinking it has worked since Rob's full attention is back on her, all her classmates start bringing her sweets. Then low and behold, the new guy Chase informs her shes actually performed a zombie spell instead of a love spell, and shes their QUEEN! Time is quickly running out and Chase and Mia have to beat the clock to reverse the spell before prom turns into a bloodbath, with Mia as the main course.

I loved this book. It was action packed and resolved nicely. For a teen horror read, this was pretty clean. No sex, drugs or foul language. For only 199 pages, this story packed a huge punch. 5 Stars!
