Dead is a Battlefield (Dead Is #6)
by Marlene Perez
What is it about:
Love stinks!
Jessica Walsh is starting her freshman year at Nightshade High and trying to forget about the tragic events surrounding her brother's graduation. She wants to have a normal high school experience. But that's easier said than done in Nightshade.
When a new boy shows up at school, the girls are infected with a case of seriously creepy crushes. But when their obsession turns to violence, Jessica and her friends start to wonder if there's more going on than just a little friendly rivalry. Are the smitten girls turning into love zombies?
And Jessica has other worries - like her crush on Dominic Gray, the cute but moody new singer for Side Effects May Vary, and the mysterious tattoo that appeared on her arm one day that lets her know whenever there is trouble brewing. Jessica learns she's a Virago, a woman warrior chosen to fight evil whenever it threatens her hometown. But does a lowly freshman really have what it takes to keep Nightshade safe?
What did I think of it:
A fun if predictable read.
This is book six in a series, but the first book with Jessica as lead character as far as I understand, so I had no problem getting into the book and world.
The events in this book are overly predictable, but fun enough that it didn't bother me too much. I liked discovering the strange little town Jessica lives in and seeing how Jessica handles all the weird things happening around her. There were some fun minor characters as well.
All in all an easy and quick read. I don't think I'll read any other books in this series though.
Why should you read it:
Love Zombies!
