Molly Bigelow and her Omega team have been suspended due to
Molly's actions in Dead City. Molly is the newest member of
their zombie-policing team, and all of her teammates have
remained loyal to her...but she is still keeping one big
secret from Natalie, Grayson, and Allen. Molly has to invoke
the only chance she has to save the team or risk complete
dissolution of the team, which means they are now
responsible for monitoring the Unlucky 13, the original
zombies of New York City. What will Molly and her fellow
Omegas do when they discover that this year the zombies have
in store a diabolical plan to take over all of New York
City?
BLUE MOON is the second book in a series. It can easily be
read as a standalone although both stories are so much fun
that I wouldn't miss the first novel. James Ponti does a
great job at expanding on the basic concept of zombies being
policed by juveniles and gives us a much broader view of the
zombie world and the various politics that permeate their
world. While the first novel is definitely more a middle
grade read, BLUE MOON skips a lot of the angst and dives
right into some good, zombie-fighting action.
BLUE MOON focuses on New York City and it was highly
entertaining to imagine that there are zombies hiding and
meeting in the underground near some of the very famous
landmarks. The fast pace keeps the reader flipping the pages
quickly, wanting to see what trouble Molly and her friends
will find next. One fun twist from the prior novel is that
we get to read the journal entries of Milton Blackwell, one
of the Unlucky 13, and see an insider's view of how the
zombies first came into being. BLUE MOON is sheer fun and is
easily recommended!
Molly is ready for more nonstop, undead action in this
follow-up to Dead City, which Kirkus Reviews described as “a
fast-paced read for those who like their zombies with just a
little fright.”
When Molly Bigelow discovered that zombies shared New York
with humans, she didn’t think life could get more shocking.
Then she learned that her mother was once one of the
greatest zombie killers ever—and she discovered that her
dead mother is not technically dead at all (although she
isn’t alive, either).
Molly’s efforts to keep these secrets and to help her Omega
team track down the identity of the original thirteen
zombies will take her from the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day
parade to New Year’s Eve in Times Square. Her loyalties to
friends and family will be put to the test. And her life
will be changed in ways she never could have imagined.
