Yasmine Alvarado - aka Mistress Odessa is a divorced, thirty-six-year-old single mom with a teenage daughter, Charlie trying to survive a zombie apocalypse. This was a first for me in the genre of zombie apocalypse. It was fast paced, descriptive and definitely had an interesting plot. I really enjoyed reading it.
Names: monsters, homicidal maniacs, crazies, living dead, undead zombies, flesh-eating undead monsters, zombified, infected crazies, virals, Mad Cow cannibals, vicious creatures, reanimated, undead revenant. Favorite Lines: “And my post-apocalyptic method of transport was an adorable, bright green, 50cc Vespa. As I rode through the devastated streets, its noisy little engine buzzed like a leaf blower on steroids.” “Wham, bam, zombie jam.” “The great thing about scooters is that they're noisy as hell. The scooter itself, when it's revving, sounds like a steel can full of angry bumblebees hooked up to a loudspeaker.” “post-zombie-combat sleep” Zombie Tips: Infected people were immune to pain. Bites were contagious. Blood wasn't infectious, and skin doesn’t soak up whatever the disease was. Shut the door behind you so no more zombies barge in. Zombies could climb.
