So I bought this book at the book fair. What called to me was the title of the book. I bought it and came home and started looking at reviews because I have never heard of this author before. There were a ton of 1-3 stars given to the book on Goodreads. I wanted to return this book because for it to...
Contaminated wasn't what I expected. Its not your typical Zombie book. ThinPro is a revolution in a weight loss product. Everyone is drinking it by the bucket load. Suddenly people are going berserk and getting violent and the government are rounding them up to see why. They experiment on them until...
It's been two years since the Contamination turned ordinary people into violent creatures. Velvet's parents disappeared and ever since she has been trying to take care of her 10-yr-old sister while continuing to go to school. It isn't working very well. Everything is so expensive and she just does...

It is, however, poorer in its depth, emotionality, and relatability than previous zombie-centric books gone before, like Isaac Marion's Warm Bodies and, most prominently, Richard Matheson's I Am Legend. The post-a...
This review and others are posted at Read, Rinse, Repeat.1.5 starsIf only it were true - a special water that makes people lose weight. There's just one problem. This diet potion turns users into raving, violent, nearly brain-dead maniacs. Hmmm...maybe a few extra pounds aren't so bad after all.W...
I couldn't put this one down. It isn't the best book and has some pacing problems, but it got really good at the end. Velvet is such a strong character. I liked the original cover better. This book was going to be called Velvet and have a yellow cover with a girl looking through water bottles.
