  • Cinderella and Zombies on June 03, 2012

    This was such a fun read! If you love zombies, get ready to dig in! If you love fairytale retellings... beware of ravaging hordes of the undead wreaking havoc with the prince's royal ball! I, myself, love both zombies and fairytales, and I felt this was a perfect combination of both. Emily begins her tale in the Kingdom of Fae, alternating between Prince Kent and Cinderella, both swearing to protect their people from the undead plague. Although reluctant to join forces at first, together they become an unstoppable zombie killing machine. The story moved with an unbelievably fast pace, not a single page without zombies. Throw in an inept king, an unconventional godmother of sorts (if she's from the land of Fae, does that make her a "fairy" godmother?), some slicing and dicing, with just a dash of rot and ruin, and I discovered a tale of true love and putrefaction. Note for survivors: Who knew that a healthy diet of vegetables could protect you, not just from malnutrition, but from those pesky walking corpses! I don't know about you, but I'm headed to the grocery story to stock up for the zombie apocalypse!!
