When Christina Lee suggested a blog event to showcase a debut book we've enjoyed this year, I was all for it.
Normally I’m not big into zombies. Okay, the only zombie YA books I’ve enjoyed (though I’ve read a few) are from the Generation Dead series by Daniel Waters, but I couldn’t resist checking out Carrie Harris’s debut book, Bad Taste in Boys. I mean, excuse me, just look at the cover. I don’t read a lot of YA humor, but I thought this story was great.
Blurb: Someone's been a very bad zombie.
Kate Grable is horrified to find out that the football coach has given the team steroids. Worse yet, the steroids are having an unexpected effect, turning hot gridiron hunks into mindless flesh-eating zombies. No one is safe--not her cute crush Aaron, not her dorky brother, Jonah . . . not even Kate!
She's got to find an antidote--before her entire high school ends up eating each other. So Kate, her best girlfriend, Rocky, and Aaron stage a frantic battle to save their town. . . and stay hormonally human.
Other debut books I loved (but are being showcased on another blog):
Divergent by Veronica Roth
I’m Not Her by Janet Gurtler
Angelfire by Courtney Moulton
Possession by Elana Johnson
The Liar Society by Laura & Lisa Roecker
Debut books on my bookshelf I can’t wait to read (and there's a few more I'm dying to add):
Creep by Jennifer Hillier (I really can’t wait to read this one. It sounds so, well, creepy.)
Bestest. Ramadan. Ever by Medeia Sharif
Secret of Spruce Knoll by Heather McCorkle
