#ZombieWeek #Review of Eat Brains Love by @hart_jeff with #Giveaway

Two teenage zombies search for brains, love, and answers in this surprisingly romantic and laugh-out-loud funny debut novel with guts.

Jake Stephens was always an average, fly-under-the-radar guy. The kind of guy who would never catch the attention of an insanely popular girl like Amanda Blake-or a psychic teenage government agent like Cass. But one day during lunch, Jake's whole life changed. He and Amanda suddenly locked eyes across the cafeteria, and at the exact same instant, they turned into zombies and devoured half their senior class.

Now Jake definitely has Amanda's attention-as well as Cass's, since she's been sent on a top-secret mission to hunt them down. As Jake and Amanda deal with the existential guilt of eating their best friends, Cass struggles with a growing psychic dilemma of her own-one that will lead the three of them on an epic journey across the country and make them question what it means to truly be alive. Or undead.

Eat, Brains, Love is a heartwarming and bloody blend of romance, deadpan humor, and suspense that fans of Isaac Marion's Warm Bodies will devour. With its irresistibly dry and authentic teen voice, as well as a zombie apocalypse worthy of AMC's The Walking Dead, this irreverent paperback original will leave readers dying for the sequel that's coming in Summer 2014.

I’m a writer living in Brooklyn who prefers not to describe himself in the third person.
Jeff Hart WritesMy first book, EAT BRAINS LOVE, has been described as John Hughes with zombies, which I think is pretty fun and accurate so let’s go with that. 
My other work has appeared in wonderful places like The Awl, The Literary Review, The L Magazine, and Storychord.
Would you like to ask me a question outside the confines of Tumblr or Twitter? Do you want to give me a million dollars to write THE MONSTER SQUAD reboot? 

My Review- 3 Stars

 It was ok but I'm not gonna die if I don't read it


I really wanted to fan girl over this one.  But, it wasn't met to be.  Although I did like it. It was one of those books that was more of a meh.  It was an ok read but I wouldn't have died if I had never heard of it.  This one just didn't have that spark that some books have that make you want to die because you have to wait an entire year for the next in the series.  And this one just didn't have that.  

That being said this one really made me think of the vampire books out there.  Because it pretty much was the same. Where if the vamps get a healthy dose of blood they pretty much look and can pass as human. And that concept for Zombies was GREAT!  I kinda wonder why no one else had done that before.  The characters were mediocre.  I did like Cass the best.  She really comes into her powers by the end of this book and figures out what she can do, although she is still working on it.  Jake I'm still not to sure about and I think that Amanda is better off being a Zom I think she is better for it.  

I think this is one of those books that if you are a die hard zombie fan that you should read it.  And if you aren't then maybe see if you can borrow it first.  

PS. I do have to say that I love this guys titles!  

Go Into This One Knowing

Go into this one knowing that they use the F work a LOT!  There is some sex but nothing that I wouldn't let me ten year old read.

I didn't like the movie, I've never tried to read the book.

The movie your talking about is Eat Pray Love. There isn't a movie about Eat BRAINS love lol.

I thought I was commenting on the World War Z post. *Face palm*

You review A LOT of books. I was just wondering (if you don't mind my asking) how many books you read per year, or simply how frequently you read? I really admire the time you seem to put into this website -- it looks incredible.

Until this year I wasn't really keeping very good track of it. I kept forgetting then I had that big issue with goodreads. So now this year that I am keeping track. I have past 111 or something. I need to update it for this week. If you want to follow along you can here. http://www.pinterest.com/crossroadreview/reading-challenge-read-in-2014/ You can also follow me on Booklikes as well as this new thing called 50 Book Pledge http://www.50bookpledge.ca/user/100001285309177k/r

Another one in my tbr pile. I plan to read it soon.

I have the second book on my kindle which I'm definitely curious about. i'm trying to read more zombie books.
