Readers may also want to smack Cole in the head with a shoe for the first half of the book as his alpha male tendencies do him no favors in his relationship with Ali. The conspiracy theories from book one seem to multiply in this book, and while I love a good conspiracy, there were a few times when I felt a bit overwhelmed or lost by all the many players. Ali's own growth is phenomenal, and readers will love seeing the smart, outspoken, loyal heroine come fully into her own under great duress. I enjoyed the new additions to the cast, and was pleasantly surprised at the character growth some of the original characters displayed. The entire cast of characters each feel fully realized with distinct voices and agendas, while also still sounding like the teenagers that they are. Just like the first book, the sequel is compulsively readable. This time, though, Ali is facing an inner demon that threatens both her survival and the survival of everyone she loves, and Cole is being a hard-headed idiot when it comes to matters of the heart, so the stakes were raised for the characters we've grown to know and love. As with the first book, THROUGH THE ZOMBIE GLASS is action-packed, fast-paced, and the romance sizzles. Showalter's follow up to last year's ALICE IN ZOMBIELAND is a smashing success.
