Review: I received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review. This book has a beautiful cover and a very intriguing storyline. Zombies and Steampunk together in one novel, Yes Please!! Another cool part of the novel was at each chapter there was a picture of a Steampunk mask. I liked how the zombies in this novel were almost like vampires, only coming out at night. I also enjoyed the big twist and I was not expecting that. I really liked reading all the details about the clothing that the characters wore, I love Steampunk clothing. There was also a lot of mystery and fight scenes that I enjoyed reading. 

Lucy was an awesome lead character. She showed growth from being hoity toity to a bad ass zombie slayer. I also enjoyed her sense of humor. I did feel bad for Lucy at some points but she overcame the  challenges gracefully. I also loved the "fake" love triangle, even though I could predict what was going to happen a mile away. But I was really shocked about the secret that the Ashdown family was hiding. Regardless, Lord Garrett is a hottie and I would kill zombies anyway with Aeron. 

I will most definitely carry on with this series. I need to know if the evil will be extinguished. I would recommend this book to zombie lovers and Steampunk fans.
