On the night of her sixteenth birthday, a horrible car accident claims the lives of Ali's father, mother and younger sister, Emma. After the funerals, Ali is taken in by her well-meaning grandparents and starts a new life at Asher High. She reunites with Kat, an energetic girl she met while recovering from the accident, who is keeping secrets of her own.
Ali's desire for a normal life is disrupted the first time that she sees Cole, and has a vision linking them romantically. She is drawn to him, wanting to uncover the mystery of his frequent bruises.
In the attempt to uncover the mysteries in her life, Ali is confronted with a truth that she never expected. Her father was right, zombies are real and Cole and his friends have chosen to fight them. After Ali makes it clear that she isn't easily scared off, Cole gives her a choice. She can join them in the fight against zombies or go back to her normal life.
Ali makes her choice and in that moment, she becomes a Slayer. The first thing she learns is that fighting zombies is a lot more complicated than she realised. She trains alongside Cole and the other Slayers, while trying to piece together clues that her sister's spirit is leaving for her, telling her that someone is coming for her.
Alice in Zombieland is young adult fiction that doesn't hold back on anything, from the violence of zombie fighting action or the emotional responses from the characters.
This is book one of three in the White Rabbit Chronicles, and is well worth the read.
Rating 3.5/5
