Hollowland

by Amanda Hocking

So, once I started reading Amanda Hocking's books, I just couldn't stop.  This book is a stand-alone (though I've seen on her website that there may be a sequel coming and I'd love to read that!) book about what happens when the world is infested with - wait for it - zombies.

19-year-old Remy is one of the few humans left.  She was living in a government-run quarantine and her brother Max was in the medical unit.  But the zombies are getting smarter and managing to work together in their attacks.  When Remy learns her brother has been moved, she sets out across America to find him, with a young girl, a former rock star, an almost doctor and a lion.

But Remy has a secret about her brother that the others don't know.  And that secret might apply to her too.

Again, Hocking creates a strong, kick butt girl character cast into a world full of mythology creatures who are out to destroy her.  I really liked Remy and her ragtag gang of zombie fighters.  They meet a few other groups of survivors on their journey, both those who help and those who try to harm them. 

I didn't expect the story to end where it did, which is probably why Hocking is writing a sequel.  But really, it could end right there and the reader would know that Remy did what she had to do. 

Another good read by Hocking.  This one is also available on Amazon for Kindle for 99 cents or paperback for $8.99.  If you check out her website, http://amandahocking.blogspot.com, you can also find other outlets for purchasing her books.
