Title: Something Strange and Deadly
Author: Susan Dennard
Release Date: July 24, 2012
Goodreads Summary:
There’s something strange and deadly loose in Philadelphia…
Eleanor Fitt has a lot to worry about. Her brother has gone missing, her family has fallen on hard times, and her mother is determined to marry her off to any rich young man who walks by. But this is nothing compared to what she’s just read in the newspaper—
The Dead are rising in Philadelphia.
And then, in a frightening attack, a zombie delivers a letter to Eleanor…from her brother.
Whoever is controlling the Dead army has taken her brother as well. If Eleanor is going to find him, she’ll have to venture into the lab of the notorious Spirit-Hunters, who protect the city from supernatural forces. But as Eleanor spends more time with the Spirit-Hunters, including their maddeningly stubborn yet handsome inventor, Daniel, the situation becomes dire. And now, not only is her reputation on the line, but her very life may hang in the balance.

My Thoughts:
I am surprised to say that I haven't read any zombie books because I love paranormal books, so I thought this one sounds interesting and I really like the cover. What are you waiting for this week?

I love the sound of this one too! I never would have guessed this was a zombie book based on the cover - it's only going to be my third, but it sounds like the ones I've enjoyed so I'm really looking forward to it. Terrific choice!

I am dying for this release! Zombies, gorgeous covers... Definitely sounds like something I'll read. Haha.

I am excited for this release as well! If you are interested in zombie books you should try Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion. I am not too into the zombie thing (kinda a phobia of mine HA!) but I REALLY liked this one!! Thanks for stopping by my TTT and thanks for following! :]
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't complain if I got a copy of Something Strange & Deadly either LOL

I haven't seen this one yet. I normally don't read to many zombie books, but I have run across a couple of good ones lately, and this one seems like it may be worth checking out.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
