I like this book but hate that one. I listen to good music but awful music gets stuck in my head all the time.I enjoy a great conversation so talk to me!
I've always been skeptical of sequels because they rarely ever beat the original but, with this novel, I can tell that Gena Showalter put a lot of time making these characters realistic and trustworthy in a way that every single person, not only teenagers want in their lives. This time around, everything seems to matter far more than they did in the first one and I loved how complex yet simple the writing is. Everything has a second meaning and I was excited to return to the world of ghost zombies and the young slayers that kill them.
Many authors have trouble balancing out a creative plot with a nicely executed romance and while I do love Cole and Ali's relationship because it's so up and down and bitter-sweet, I found it to be a bit too much at times. Instead of focusing on her painful past and/or the zombies, most pages are full of her romance with Cole and how much he cares for her and is trying not to. I also don't like the ending solely because it's a little too nicely done and gives off the impression that everyone will turn out happy no matter what. I was hoping for one sad thing to happen to the slayers rather than what I received.
Ali Bell is quickly becoming a fun protagonist that I don't think I will ever mind reading about. She's tough, determined, and quite the caring person. I especially love the new twist that's added here and how she has to literally face her inner demon and fight for everyone she loves. There's so much action that I never felt bored, especially with the rest of the characters, they held my attention with their quirky remarks and realism that can only come from teens living a rough life.
What a fun ride it has been with Ali and her friends! It's so intense and heart-warming with many parts full of some serious zombie slaying as well as lovely chapter titles that give a zombie feel to classic sayings! Through the Zombie Glass is a novel that I recommend to readers who either love zombie books or love tons of action, a steamy romance, and some badass attitude from the protagonist! Now, I'm just dying to find out what the title for the third book will be!
