I didn't even realize that Dennard didn't mention it in the story ~ not cool, especially for those who forgo reading the synopsis.. It was the writing style that kinda took away from the novel for me.. Great, honest review!<br /><br />My <a href="http://realmsofanopenmind.blogspot.com/2012/08/review-something-strange-and-deadly-by.html" rel="nofollow">review</a><br /><br />Happy Reading :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164717220897142489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733464801217135988.post-4641480361577704112013-02-01T08:37:47.467-06:002013-02-01T08:37:47.467-06:00I liked it, but I agree with you.

I also figured out the mystery early on and would've liked a little more of a twist.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15096019354371225753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733464801217135988.post-5038751242487580402013-02-01T08:22:09.860-06:002013-02-01T08:22:09.860-06:00I think they are zombies though-they're just r...I think they are zombies though-they're just reanimated through a necromancer instead of a virus as is sometimes the case? I don't read a lot of zombie books so I'm not entirely sure what qualifies as one.<br /><br />I was excited to read this after seeing that the blurb mentioned a Philadelphia setting-I was so focused on that, I didn't realize they didn't mention it in the book itself. That's a big oversight!The Insouciant Sophisticatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934853089105345052noreply@blogger.com
