Book Talk: A Mad Zombie Party

Right guys. 
I'm not reviewing this I just want to discuss it because I JUST GOT AROUND TO READING IT AND OH MY GOD! I finally got around to it, this is essentially going to be a concise bout of fangirling and hoping someone else has read this and can relate! 

I'm trying to remain calm but I really can't even! 
I was apprehensive going in because I love the first three books and I shipped Kat and Frosty so bad and I hated what happened so I really wasn't sure how I'd feel reading this book to be honest. The entire time I'm reading I have this sense of...I don't know. Once I started to get to know Milla and her background and saw what she was like, I really liked her and her and Frosty where so cute and everything. The entire time I'm reading though....I just felt a bit sad because of him and Kat. They really where my fave in the first three books!

Frosty in the beginning though made me so sad and then he and Milla and how he came back to being himself and just. PAIN. ANGST. MY FEELS. PERFECTION. Seeing what everyone's been up to as well, since the last book. I wasn't really sure what could really happen next, but then the whole thing in the other book wasn't really a sensible idea so I can't believe I didn't see this coming to be honest, it was good though! 

So I got on the Milla and Frosty train and I loved it and it was cute, and watching it all develop was completely adorable. It was really weird getting Frosty's POV to be honest. I wasn't sure how it was going to be done, I expected Milla's POV I guess, but it was fun getting both and seeing what they think of each other and just SO CUTE! 
I kinda wish we'd gotten Cole's POV in the other books now, especially in book two! So. Much. Angst. 

This book for me was pure fangirling. Not going to lie. Freaking Frosty's name. We get Frosty's real name. I wasn't sure it was going to happen and when we find out I was like OH MY GOD. OMGGGGG! FINALLY! There wasn't much Cole and Ali, I wasn't really expecting there to be, which made me kind of sad because they're my favourite two, but I fangirled hard whenever they where in the book! 

I think this book wrapped up everything really nicely, a lot better than the third book. Like before we knew there was going to be a fourth book, I read the third one, obviously, and I was happy. I loved it. But with how it all ended it was wrapped up but not really. I didn't feel like it had been completely done, door shut on it all and everything. This book really wraps up everything nicely, a lot better than the third book. Seeing what happens to them after the books though. I can't even. 

THEN KAT. When I read her bit at the end I was like oh my God no, I can't believe that, how can you do that to us Gena?! Gutted. Her and her object of affection would have been adorable. Or at least fun to watch! 

Overall I'm kinda left feeling a bit bereft now it feels like it really is over and like I said I loved the book but it also made me sad while I was reading too! It did make me laugh a lot though, there's so much banter and it's definitely dodgy to read these books in public. Not gonna lie. 

OH OH OH, ALSO......Kenzie and her new friend. AAAAAWWWWW! AND AND AND, the first freaking chapter of her new book I'm just like GIVE IT TO ME NOW!  Ugh. So good. Gena has originality in her books freaking COVERED. 

I'm trying not to be spoilery just in case by the way! Which is why this is all very vague! ANYWAY, please, for the love of God, fangirl with me in the comments! 

November TBR

It's that time of month, when the review books are done and you turn to your TBR shelf or pile, depending on how unable to resist buying books you are, to decide what to read for the rest of the month. 
I've been in such a re-read kind of mood, and I've been desperate to re-read a certain series that I love because it always cheers me up, so I've spent last week doing that, I'm actually typing this on Saturday and by the time you guys read this...I will have finished the re-read! Anyway, I've been procrastinating from reading for no particular reason at all, I'm not really in a reading slump so it doesn't make any sense. It's been taking me longer to read books than usual and it's annoying. 
Considering I'm nearly done with the re-read I figured it was time to work out what I'm going to read for the rest of the month. I have quite the stuffed TBR shelf and it was a challenge working it out!

As you can see, I've got 6 books, two of which are the final books in my re-read, but I may or may not end up reading more than the ones I've chosen...depending on how fast I read and what other stuff I have to do! 

Midnight Frost by Jennifer Estep

Midnight Frost is the fifth book in the Mythos academy series, and in my re-read. Like I said, I've been in a re-read mood anyway, and considering how things are going, I was desperate to get to this one as it always cheers me up, even if it is a liiiiiiitttlleeee bit cheesy sometimes! 

Killer Frost by Jennifer Estep

Killer Frost is, obviously, the final book in the series. I'm really hoping to have finished this on Sunday, which is tomorrow for me as I'm writing this and like.....way past for you guys reading this! You'll be able to tell by when I post my Currently Reading photos if I managed it! This book doesn't half give me the feels though! 

A Mad Zombie Party by Gena Showalter

A Mad Zombie Party is the surprise fourth book in the White Rabbit Chronicles series. Originally it was just a trilogy but then the author was like "here have a fourth book". I am excited to read it, really I am, and I picked it for this month because towards the end of October I actually re-read the other three, so I figured I'd read this while the last book is still semi fresh in my memory. I am kind of nervous however, considering what happened in the last book and what's probably going to happen in this. I might get really annoyed hahaha. 

The Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker 

Ever since this book came out I've been itching to get hold of it, and when Halloween rolled around, I finally picked it up because ya know...Halloween. But with everything going on in October I didn't actually have the time to read the abundance of Halloween books that I wanted to, it was all review books mostly! SO, I figured I'd finally read it this month! 

The School For Good and Evil by Soman Chainani

So, I won the entire trilogy in a competition last month, and I always see people raving about these books, so I figured...why not read the first one. This will probably end up with me reading the other two books right after, so I probably should have included them in this but we'll see! 

At First Sight by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

This has been sitting on my TBR shelf since it came out, which is quite a while I think! I'm a huge fan of the authors books, I've read everything by her except for this....obviously, and the new The Naturals book. I'm torn with that because at the minute it's only out in hardback and all my other books are in paperback and it'll probably annoy me if I get the hardback but then I really want to read it so yeah. #BookishProblems right?! 

Let me know what's on your November TBR down in the comments! 

Wishing For Wednesday #58

This Wednesday I have more exciting reads to add to your TBR! 
First up is a book that needs to not be judged by its cover or title, trust me, read the synopsis and I'm sure you'll all be as intrigued as I am! Siblings...highwaymen, magicians, kings and more! 
Next up is a book that I literally had no idea was happening until not long ago, I thought this series has ended as a trilogy but this is the fourth book! It's from a different characters POV but hopefully we'll see some of the old characters! Just in time for halloween too! 

Swords and Scoundrels

Vocho and Kacha are champion duelists: a brother and sister known for the finest swordplay in the city of Reyes. Or at least they used to be-until they were thrown out of the Duelist's Guild.

As a last resort, they turn reluctant highwaymen. But when they pick the wrong carriage to rob, their simple plans to win back fame and fortune go south fast.

After barely besting three armed men and a powerful magician, Vocho and Kacha make off with an immense locked chest. But the contents will bring them much more than they've bargained for when they find themselves embroiled in a dangerous plot to return an angry king to power....

Swords and Scoundrels is out October 8th, pre-order your copy....here!

A Mad Zombie Party

Ali Bell and Cole Holland'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 is the one who betrayed them all, leading to Kat's death. 

But when Anima rises from the grave to become a force the slayers may not have the strength to overcome, 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 isn't through revenge, but in letting go of the past and grabbing hold of the future.
