Kiss of Life by Daniel Waters

Author: Daniel Waters
Reading Level: Young Adult
Publisher: Hyperion Books for Children

Rated 8/10


The phenomenon that’s been sweeping the country seems to be here to stay. Not only are the teenagers who have come back from their graves still here, but newlydeads are being unearthed all the time. While scientists look for answers and politicians take their stands, the undead population of Oakville have banded together in a group they’re calling the Sons of Romero, hoping to find solidarity in segregation.



Phoebe Kendall may be alive, but she feels just as lost and alone as her dead friends. Just when she reconciled herself to having feelings for a zombie -- her Homecoming date Tommy Williams -- her friend Adam is murdered taking a bullet that was meant for her. Things get even more confusing when Adam comes back from the grave. Now she has romantic interest in two dead boys; one who saved her life, and one she can't seem to live without

MY REVIEW
This book was a good sequel to Generation Dead and showed us that change just doesn't come overnight, sometimes you have to fight a long time before it. I'm not gonna lie, I didn't like this as much as Generation Dead, there were some dull parts, but I still think it's worth reading.

Adam is leanring what being a zombie is really all about and is frustratedwith it all. He's gladhe risked his life for Phoebebut he wants her to livelife and not worry about him, he doesn't want to be the one to hold her back and have her feel sorry for him. Phoebe just wants to be there for Adam and is confused about the feelings she has for him and her former boyfriend Tommy. To make matters worse zombies are being framed for crimes they didn't commit. There is still fear and hatred towards zombies and everything seems to be going downhill.
