Holy shit! That book - just - what? The book's narrator and one of the main character was Georgia Mason. Emphasis on the was, there. Not many authors kill off the narrator and main character, Mira Grant went there. I'm glad she did. I don't think I'm going to be able to get this book out of my head for weeks.

A summary? Georgia Mason and her brother, Shaun Mason are bloggers, drafted by a presidential candidate to follow his campaign in zombie-filled America. They get exclusives and hits on their sites rise until they are the number one site in the world, then the shit hits the fan, terrorism, espionage, all that fun stuff.

Surprisingly, I liked how this story was all based around a presidential campaign. I didn't even realise it was a book about a presidential campaign when I started reading and rolled my eyes when I did find out. Mira Grant manages to make it interesting and understandable for someone who's not an American and for someone who isn't the biggest fan of politics.

Mira Grant's description was brilliant and the action was fast-paced and had me completely engrossed in the book. As I write this, I'm still in that after-book shock you can go into as you try and process all the things you've just read.

I debated buying the next one, and read more about Shaun Mason, the brother, dealing with his sister's death. For now, I've decided against it. Georgia Mason was the main character and I liked her for it. Whilst her brother is a strong character, he doesn't seem to quite be the same. I might read the next book eventually, just not yet. I have to get over this one first.
