\"Warm<\/a>Warm Bodies<\/a> by Isaac Marion<\/a><\/p>\n

Recently this book was made into a movie<\/a>, but it started with this unique storyline: What if you fell in love with a zombie?<\/p>\n

‘R’ is a zombie. He has no name, no memories, and no pulse, but he has dreams. Amongst the ruins of an abandoned city, R meets a girl. Her name is Julie and she is the opposite of everything he knows – warm and bright and very much alive, she is a blast of colour in a dreary grey landscape. For reasons he can’t understand, R chooses to save Julie instead of eating her, and a tense yet strangely tender relationship begins.<\/p>\n

\"Pride<\/a>Pride and Prejudice and Zombies <\/a>by Seth Grahame-Smith<\/a><\/p>\n

What more can we say about this best-selling, cheeky take on Jane Austen’s<\/a> classic Pride and Prejudice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a mysterious plague falls upon the village of Meryton and zombies start rising from the dead, Elizabeth Bennett is determined to destroy the evil menace, but becomes distracted by the arrival of the dashing and arrogant Mr. Darcy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Forest<\/a>The Forest of Hands and Teeth<\/a> by Carrie Ryan<\/a><\/p>\n

The only world that Mary knows in enclosed by fences that keep her from the dark and mysterious surrounding forest. Tales of zombies roaming the uninhabited land haunt the sisterhood that she is a part of and she is not allowed to break their trust by exploring the land.<\/p>\n

But when the fence is compromised Mary must decide if she is willing to give up the life she knows for a chance at her dream to see the ocean.<\/p>\n
