Week 42 Review: Dearly, Departed

From Goodreads:
Love can never die.

Love conquers all, so they say. But can Cupid's arrow pierce the hearts of the living and the deador rather, the undead? Can a proper young Victorian lady find true love in the arms of a dashing zombie? 

The year is 2195. The place is New Victoria a high-tech nation modeled on the manners, mores, and fashions of an antique era. A teenager in high society, Nora Dearly is far more interested in military history and her country's political unrest than in tea parties and debutante balls. But after her beloved parents die, Nora is left at the mercy of her domineering aunt, a social-climbing spendthrift who has squandered the family fortune and now plans to marry her niece off for money. For Nora, no fate could be more horrible until she's nearly kidnapped by an army of walking corpses.

But fate is just getting started with Nora. Catapulted from her world of drawing-room civility, she's suddenly gunning down ravenous zombies alongside mysterious black-clad commandos and confronting "The Laz," a fatal virus that raises the deadand hell along with them. Hardly ideal circumstances. Then Nora meets Bram Griswold, a young soldier who is brave, handsome, noble . . . and dead. But as is the case with the rest of his special undead unit, luck and modern science have enabled Bram to hold on to his mind, his manners, and his body parts. And when his bond of trust with Nora turns to tenderness, there's no turning back. Eventually, they know, the disease will win, separating the star-crossed lovers forever. But until then, beating or not, their hearts will have what they desire.

In Dearly, Departed, romance meets walking-dead thriller, spawning a madly imaginative novel of rip-roaring adventure, spine-tingling suspense, and macabre comedy that forever redefines the concept of undying love.
My Review:
Oh, my, I loved this book! So amazing! I wish I had more time on my computer, then I could've read it faster! It was so amazing!

I loved the idea, of us surviving a whole wack of bad things like disease, volcanoes, ext, and then still surviving. And then some of us coming back as zombies many, many years ago. I hope how the virus (where it came from) is explored in the next book! And a few other things, since I have some questions, and I really, really want to read the next book!

But let me say, there's a reason why the Victorian era died out. Because it was sexist, unfair, and "I-want-to-throttle-you" ness. Yep.

But the characters were just amazing! And the dialogue? Just amazing! Loved it, really quirky, and funny! I loved it!

This was just an amazing book that I loved, so you guys are just going to have to read it!!
