The year is 2195. The place is New Victoria—a high-tech nation modeled on the mores of an antique era. Sixteen-year-old Nora Dearly is far more interested in her country’s political unrest than in silly debutante balls . . . she’s suddenly gunning down ravenous zombies alongside mysterious black-clad commandos and confronting a fatal virus that raises the dead. Then Nora meets Bram Griswold, a young soldier who is brave, handsome, noble . . . and thoroughly deceased. But Bram has been enabled by luck and modern science to hold on to his mind, his manners, and his body parts. And when his bond of trust with Nora turns to tenderness, there’s no turning back.

I was really curious on how the author would be
able to make me fall in love with a zombie but she totally did it. I fell in
love with Bram just like Nora did (the main character). He was so sweet and so
human.
I also loved how the author was able to make it a Victorian time (love
that time period) and futuristic. I really liked how Nora was a strong,
independent woman but could also be a romantic and sweet girl. If you love
zombies and pretty dresses, DEARLY DEPARTED is your book.
