A stray lightning strike burned out Maddy’s life but not her existence and after a few hours of unconsciousness she wakes up undead. Not that her life was wonderful (or terrible) to begin with, but now that she’s a zombie it’s definitely more complicated. And so are the things she wished could change—namely her pseudo relationship with jock cutie Stamp, and the mysterious deaths of her fellow students with all signs to Maddy being next, living or not.

Zombies Don’t Cry is a fun read with a true vein of darkness and tons of engaging characters. Highly recommended for public and private YA collections, its pacing and conflict make it a wonderful option to keep readers interested and amused in an increasingly disappointing fiction landscape.
