* I got this book for review from the publisher for my honest thoughts*

I really did love the various representation that was shown in this book including learning disability and just rep in general. I really loved the concept of this novel as well. A con seeing meets a real life zombie issue. It was super fast pace story with a trio of girls at the heart of it. I did find the past pace nature sometimes a hard to follow. Also the three main characters, it was hard to feel connected to the other characters we meet in the second half of the book. I really do think this would make fun movie. I also loved the fandom convo that was at the heart of this read as well! I would def read more by this author in the future. ( )

Well that was heaps of flesh eating fun! I love zombies and thought having real zombies at Zombiecon was hilarious. One of the strengths of the story was the focus on the friendship between our main characters. Conflicts were set aside as they worked with the cast members of their favourite zombie show to save the day. Zombie apocalypse stories tend to be survival of the fittest situations, but our group of survivors used their collective wits and extensive knowledge of zombie fiction to stay alive. An enjoyable read with some witty dialogue. ( )

I am a huge zombie fan, The walking dead, Zombieland, you name it. This book hit everything: the bond of friendship, girl power, survival. I loved the Easter eggs and implied comments about The Walking Dead and George Romero‘s night of the living dead. This book knocked the socks off of me. June was a serious kick ass survivor.I love the start of the blossoming romance between June and Hunter, the star of the show wastelands, which was a metaphor for The Walking Dead. There were tears and there were lots of laughs. It did come down to survival of the fittest and June’s group was the fittest of them all. ( )

June has been a horror fan ever since that first late-night movie she never should have been watching at such a young age. After years of fandom, its finally happening. ZombieCon is coming to her small, unremarkable city. June won't even let the recent betrayal by one of her best friends put a damper on this day. However, it starts to unravel when cosplayers start attacking other fans... or are they cosplayers?
Ash Parsons has created a traditional zombie survival without the played out damsel in distress main character. June and her friends are take-charge teenagers that crush stereotypes. The story is exciting and feeds my zombie survival desire. ( )
