💬 In a zombie apocalypse, would you fight, run, or join them? 🧟‍♂️ Thank you to @tordotcompub for gifting me a finished copy of Nona the Ninth! This is the third book in the Locked Tomb series and releases September 13th. Have you started this series yet? Is it on your TBR? . . . s u m m a r y : Her city is under siege. The zombies are coming back. And all Nona wants is a birthday party. In many ways, Nona is like other people. She lives with her family, has a job at her local school, and loves walks on the beach and meeting new dogs. But Nona's not like other people. Six months ago she woke up in a stranger's body, and she's afraid she might have to give it back. The whole city is falling to pieces. A monstrous blue sphere hangs on the horizon, ready to tear the planet apart. Blood of Eden forces have surrounded the last Cohort facility and wait for the Emperor Undying to come calling. Their leaders want Nona to be the weapon that will save them from the Nine Houses. Nona would prefer to live an ordinary life with the people she loves, with Pyrrha and Camilla and Palamedes, but she also knows that nothing lasts forever. And each night, Nona dreams of a woman with a skull-painted face... . . . h a s h t a g s : #nonatheninth #harrowtheninth #gideontheninth #tamsynmuir #tordotcompub #locktombseries #yabooks #zombiebooks #booksbooksbooks #stillography #photosinbetween #morningslikethis #weekendreads #reading #bookmail #booknerd #booknerdigans #bookish #bookrecommendations #bookseries (at Zombie Uprising) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiA0Z9aOc11/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

what is a dresscode when meeting your favorite zombie writer(he's not a zombie,he just writes about them,I think?) Probably dressing as a main character from his books ^_^ I met @isaacmarionsbigwords today! Highlight of the year,nothing can top that

“I wake to the sound of scratching around the door. The thin tendrils of dawn reach underneath the strip between the door and the damp floor. I immediately reach for my crossbow as I roll onto my feet. The instant adrenaline rush pushes me into full wakefulness, and I realize the sound, the slow scritching of mindless movements, is coming from a zombie outside.” -Rising Ash http://amzn.to/2hTeIvs

If we Survive the Night by Jo Salazar

🧟 

When the zombie apocalypse begins outside the windows of her residential treatment centre, Quinn doesn't freeze or hope everything will be okay. She starts making the hard decisions immediately - and discovers she might be better suited to surviving the end of the world than the one that came before.

📚 Pre-Reading Thoughts

Sourcebooks Fire has become one of those publishers I keep an eye on because their YA thrillers are consistently entertaining. Whether they're writing mysteries, horror, or survival stories, they know how to keep the pages turning.

A zombie apocalypse set inside a residential treatment centre felt like an especially compelling premise. With the characters already isolated before everything falls apart, the tension is built in from page one.

📖 Post-Reading

As I thought...

This is a genuinely tense survival story. The danger never feels far away, and every attempt to escape brings fresh obstacles.

Quinn is a fascinating protagonist. She's pragmatic to the point of ruthlessness, constantly thinking several steps ahead and making decisions that other characters struggle to accept. It's refreshing to follow someone who understands the reality of the situation almost immediately.

The friendships are just as important as the horror. Quinn and Keisha's determination to survive together gives the story an emotional core that balances the action well.

It surprised me by...

How quickly Quinn settles into this new reality. In many zombie stories, characters spend precious time denying what's happening or refusing to make impossible choices. Quinn doesn't. She recognises the stakes almost immediately, and that makes her both compelling and, at times, unsettling to follow.

The creativity behind the zombies themselves. Without giving anything away, there are some clever ideas that make encounters feel fresh and force the characters to think carefully about every move they make.

How invested I became in the wider world. By the end, I wasn't just interested in whether these characters survived - I wanted to know what was happening beyond them and where the apocalypse might go next.

I'm already looking forward to seeing how the series develops.

🎧 Music Pairing

🎵 Featured Song: Run Boy Run – Woodkid

🎶 Vibe Album: How to Be a Human Being – Glass Animals

🎧 Artist Recommendation: Paramore – energetic, urgent, and emotionally charged enough to match the constant fight for survival.

🌈 Vibe Check

Colour Palette: concrete grey, emergency red, sickly green, midnight black

Soundtrack: distant alarms, hurried footsteps, whispered plans, doors slamming shut

Season: a sweltering late summer that somehow makes everything feel even more oppressive

Scent: disinfectant, smoke, damp concrete, rain on hot tarmac

🃏 Tarot Pull

Knight of Swords

Quinn charges into impossible situations with remarkable clarity. She's decisive, fiercely intelligent, and rarely hesitates once she's chosen a course of action. The Knight of Swords isn't always gentle, but in a world where every second counts, speed and conviction become strengths.

👀 For fans of

The Walking Dead

At the End of Everything

fast-paced zombie stories that focus just as much on difficult choices as the undead themselves

Zomtropolis eBook Bestseller

I don't often check my sales reports. It's a peace-of-mind thing. Some authors sweat bullets over their numbers and I personally don't need that kind of stress so I just let the books sell and whatever I get is whatever I get. (Read more at the blog.)
