Originally reviewed on http://www.frommybookshelf.com

I picked this up on a whim (I find that I really enjoy most Image titles), and what started out as a seemingly fluff story about fashion bloggers and their rather shallow lives takes a surprising turn into something more... sinister? A mysterious "resurrection", possible supernatural elements, a stalker, a police investigation into the possible death of the possibly resurrected friend, and another possible murder. Or is it all just an allergy drug-induced hallucination? We'll have to wait until the next collected edition to find out more, but needless to say I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly intrigued to find out what happens next.

Amazing Continuation :)
Contains spoilers, click to show
Oh man sooo much happened! This book was amazing, all the gore and violence was still there with a hint of family, romance and homeliness. *SpoilerAlert* I was horrified in certain bits and I couldn't help feel that something more happened to Fade when he was captured but perhaps it wasn't explained because this is designed for a young adult audience. I was still rooting for Stalker and he snuck in a couple of kisses but no solid romancing for him yet :( I grinned my ass off at the end when they all chose to go with Deuce. Cannot wait to start the Horde :)

Book Favorite

"This relates to my Maggie O’Farrell obsession. She recommended Lucia Berlin in an interview I read a few years ago. So, like any good stalker, I checked it out. These stories feel very contemporary. I suppose if I’ve learned anything from reading, it’s that people don’t change very much through the ages. Our personal problems and our joys are entirely relatable, whatever the era. The women Berlin writes about seem entirely real. You can feel them in the room with you. There is humor and real beauty in her words. If I was the underlining type, these books would be heaving with biro. But I’m no vandal."
