Like, here's a general tale with a huge monster spin on it. Throw in some cliches and a meh storyline...and voila! A book. I'm sorry these were disappointing. :( I thought about reading Alice in Zombieland, but really never got interested in the premise. Also, the cover. It doesn't impress me much. Alas. :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04109527480775466764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596564390509397743.post-10888198116353475852014-02-22T23:39:33.004-05:002014-02-22T23:39:33.004-05:00I've never really been interested in reading t...I've never really been interested in reading the second book but I really did want to read Alice sometime so that is a little disappointing.

I haven't read the other one but the whole forbidden romance sounds interesting. I'm not sure if I will give it a try though because with the reasons you mentioned above with the sexual assault, I'm not good with that either!

I'm glad I don't have too many regrets now seeing your review. UGH, insta-love. As for the 2nd book, that's a toughie. I hate that one character can ruin a love for a book, but I don't think I'd be able to stomach her either! Great reviews as always :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00343758249538361290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596564390509397743.post-71959399884576486542014-02-19T23:48:04.414-05:002014-02-19T23:48:04.414-05:00I hated the first one.

I just felt like she was covering for him because she wanted to believe he was innocent (even though what she saw clearly showed he wasn't). So I guess some people wouldn't blame her for being in a tough spot. I just didn't care for her or her choices... or how she was portrayed as so innocent and on a pedestal. Those types of characters turn me off.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288722022982656753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596564390509397743.post-63709834881982601472014-02-19T23:43:15.229-05:002014-02-19T23:43:15.229-05:00I love the cover of Alice as well, which is one of...I love the cover of Alice as well, which is one of the reasons I bought it :( The insta-love in it is just bad... oh and there's also a love triangle too!

Both of these sound terrible. I hate zombies so the first one is out, and the fact that the girl in the second one is covering for her rapist brother is just so messed up!
