Zombies For Everyone

A Jenna Sutton Supernatural Cozy Mystery Book 1

by Kimberly Wylie

Genre: Supernatural Cozy Mystery

Jenna Sutton is nothing like the iconic vampire slayer of TV fame.

She’s the antithesis of a cheerleader. She’s not peppy. And she sucks at gymnastics. She has nothing in common with the fictional Buffy, other than being blonde and in high school...Oh, and occasionally she kills vampires for a living as well as other things that go bump in the night.

Following an attack on an English teacher at a nearby school, it becomes clear this wasn’t an ordinary coyote bite. The gray-green Lichtenberg-like webbing of streaks making their way up Ms. Pruett’s arm can mean only one thing—zombies.

But this isn’t a normal zombie attack. The victims seem to be hand-picked.

Can Jenna complete her investigation without the school administrators figuring out she’s actually a high school student from another school? Will Jenna be able to find out who’s behind these attacks before a full-scale zombie outbreak overtakes the town? And, perhaps most importantly...

Why did her best friend kiss her after all of these years?

My Rating: ★★★★☆
My Recommendation: ★★★★★★★★☆☆

(I received this book free in exchange for my honest review)

This was a interesting book, and I did quite in enjoy it. It was fast pace, had some nice world building, witty banter, and low key action that was more PG then what you would have seen from Buffy. I feel like there was a lot of hype about Jenna's abilities, but when it was time to shine, the action for me fell short. I don't like that her spotlight was overshadowed. 

Though I enjoyed this quick read, I do have some... concerns about one particular romance sub-plot, that not only made my eye twitch, I almost put the book down. Our MC is still minor in this book(17), and her other love interested is a warlock who's age isn't told, except for a vague reference to him being either 20 or 60... do you see where I have an issue? I don't min having a little love triangle, or competition, as it makes the story fun and cheesy; but that vague age, just isn't sitting right. I don't like it one bit. Maybe he is 20, as our MC will be 18 soon, ..... but not 60.. like no. I believe this needs to be addressed ASAP. Because even alluding to grooming, no matter the context, isn't okay. 

Outside of that sub-plot, I liked the overall flow. There's originality to this world, and there are many mysteries that will keep me reading on. I  need to know what happened to MC's mom, why did ---> (sorry can't say that one as it will be a spoiler.) 

I believe this story will be full of many more mysteries and creatures that our MC needs to fight and navigate. I'm looking forward to hopefully more detailed action, and highlighting Jenna's abilities & talents.

Overall this book is a fun, fast, lighthearted read that will having to wondering about the things that go bump in the night, and wondering if, maybe, just maybe, we have a similar underground organization acting and fighting mythical creatures right under our noses.   

Happy Reading

I got up and walked over to Ms. Pruett. I pulled back the covers covering her  

left hand. It was fine—healthy and whole. Five slightly chubby fingers. Not one  

of them gnawed on.

“Sorry,” Mr. Pringle said quietly, “the other hand.”

I walked around the bed and pulled back the sheet covering her right hand.  

Before I even got to her hand, I could see the greenish-gray marks trailing  

up Ms. Pruett’s forearm. The Lichtenberg figures looked like delicate ferns tattooed into her flesh but were slowly creeping up her arm and would eventually 

seek out her heart. Her hand was covered in a bandage, but I was sure if I were 

to remove it not only would I find two missing fingers, but the hand would be   

almost entirely green-gray, with blackened tissue necrosis starting already nearest 

to the bite wound.

Definitely a zombie bite.

Crap.
