Unfed is the sequel to Undead. If you haven't read Undead, go read it before you read this review! Unfed starts out pretty much right where Undead leaves off. Bobby wakes up in a hospital after narrowly surviving the bus crash. As you can guess, zombies aren't far behind, and chaos is about to ensue. Thankfully she meets up with some familiar faces, has some cryptic messages she guesses are from her mother to help her find another close friend, and has a new companion to help out. The action starts almost instantly and goes non-stop until the end. Just like in Undead, the ending answers some almost unexpected questions and leaves it wide open for another book.

These books intrigue and infuriate me! I love the story behind the outbreak, and I love the ending of this one also. Bobby's teenage wit really entertained me. I was glad it carried over into this book. My biggest issue is how predictable it was that there would be zombie action followed by easily or unbelievably getting away from the zombies. Yes, it isn't a realistic book necessarily, but the way they escaped all of their encounters seemed way too contrived. And it was also very obvious who would or would not die. I'm usually not very good at predicting these type of things, but I got it all right this time.

This was a very intense read for me. I tore through the first book expecting an ending. I kind of got one, but was left knowing there would be more. I wanted to know Bobby's adventure was over, ready to move on to her warm bed at home, but it didn't happen. Then I had to wait for this one to come out. And now, after reading this one, I have to wait some more! If you read the first one and loved it, you will love this one too. Anyone that likes heavy action in a zombie book will like this series as well. While it isn't the best zombie book I have read, it is funny enough and sucks you in to the story. Plus, the reason people are infected was a pretty interesting take on it, and that was extended on in this installment of the series.
