The enemy has risen from the grave. Together we slayers must stand, or one by one we will fall.

Ali Bell's crew of zombie slayers thought they'd won the war against Anima Industries, the evil company responsible for capturing and experimenting on zombies in an effort to discover the secret to immortality. In the last epic clash, the slayers lost many of their crew and closest friends. But Frosty, the ice man himself, has not recovered from one casualty in particular — the love of his life, Kat Parker.

On the path to self-annihilation, Frosty receives a message from beyond — Kat's spirit returns, insisting he partner with rogue slayer Camilla Marks. Frosty will do anything for Kat. Except that. Camilla's betrayal caused Kat's death.

But when Anima rises from the grave stronger than ever, Frosty, Camilla and all the slayers will have to work together to survive. And one broken slayer will learn that sometimes the line between hate and attraction is blurred... and the road to redemption may mean letting go of the past and grabbing hold of the future.


Ok, so we thought it was all over at the end of the trilogy - and it could have been. But I love these guys so much that I jumped on book four when I realized Showalter had kept writing. The thing that stands out the most is that she manages to re-open the whole zombie apocalypse with yet another new twist - and wrap it all up in just one more book. But, I hope there is still more as she leaves some things hovering on the horizon that I'd really like to hear more about.

Zombies are back, but they aren't the same breed of zombie the slayers are used to slaying. They've been altered somehow and a new game plan is needed pronto. But the problem with that is is Milla - something funky has happened to the girl and now she's got all these wonky powers that are causing a bit of chaos and catastrophe.

This is a romance! A full blown HEA type of romance set in a horror setting, and it was brilliant. There's an acceptance of the past and the moving forward of the future that was woven into every word. Now I just need some more zombie craziness - I want more of them!!!
