She won’t rest until she’s sent every walking corpse back to its grave. Forever.

Had anyone told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. From blissful to tragic, innocent to ruined? Please. But that’s all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone.

Her father was right. The monsters are real….

To avenge her family, Ali must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys, Cole Holland. But Cole has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn’t careful, those secrets might just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies….

I wish I could go back and do a thousand things differently.
I’d tell my sister no.
I’d never beg my mother to talk to my dad.
I’d zip my lips and swallow those hateful words.
Or, barring all of that, I’d hug my sister, my mom and my dad one last time.
I’d tell them I love them.
I wish… Yeah, I wish.

This book would be part of the top 10 overexposed. Okay, so I purchased Alice in Zombieland like a month ago or two and I found out that it hardly had any Alice in Wonderland stuff in it. Ughhhhhhhhhhh. If you think it’s about Alice stuck in wonderland with zombies, WELL. YOU. ARE. WRONG. MY. FRIEND. *facepalm* Disappointment strikes again! You’re either going to make this epic face…

OVEREXPOSED #4: Alice in Zombieland (The White Rabbit Chronicles #1) by Gena Showalter

on with other people’s thoughts…

PEOPLE WHO ENJOYED IT…

“I like the opening, very ominous, with Alice’s note and such, I was immediately piqued to what Alice was talking about, what happened that made her regret things so deeply. The car accident was timed well, starting the book with a BANG (no pun intended). I really liked it

:)
” – Chillin With Books

“I had so much fun reading this novel! I cannot wait for the next one in the series. I feel like there was closure but plenty was left open for the next book and the next. I’m glad I purchased this one so I can read it again. I love books with just the right amount of romance, friendship, heartbreak and zombie killing. This one had everything! I highly recommend this one for an enjoyable read.” – Buried In Books

PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T LIKE IT SO MUCH…

“Very mediocre. Actually, less than mediocre, which is unfortunate, because I thought a book based off (or at least inspired by) Alice in Wonderland would be awesome. The plot is super predictable, the characters are kind of plain, and I really just wanted a little bit more from everything. The way Alice was so jealous over Cole’s relationship with his ex-girlfriend made me cringe.” – Paradoxical

“First off, I was annoyed by what Gena called “zombies.” They’re not traditional zombies at all, and I didn’t like that. If you want to write a zombie book, write about freaking zombies. If you don’t want to write about zombies, then don’t. No one is forcing you to. But don’t invent a new type of paranormal creature and try to pass them off as zombies. Like what the hell is the point of that? If you’re not writing about zombies, it seems simple to me. I get that there are different interpretations of zombies. Certainly not all the zombie books I’ve read involved the same ones. But seriously, these so-called “zombies” were not even vaguely like zombies at all.” – Sparkles and Lightning
