When things cool off at the end of November-January, it’ll a good time for it. Truth be told, at this point, I need a starting place for A TON of authors in this genre that I’ve found. I needed a starting place and In a Dark, Dark Wood was the undeniable, common denominator among the thriller, suspense genre. I’m sure being apart of Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club doesn’t hurt. Those that had just read Ruth Ware’s latest book Turn of the Key, and didn’t know where to go next? Both had all directed me to this title. Veterans recommended In a Dark, Dark Wood.

As Everyone knows, last summer I became a huge fan of Ruth Ware (and am now complete trash for the Adult Psychological Thriller category/genre) when I read Ruth Ware’s latest book Turn of the Key in five hours flat (review is linked). This is a zombie novel (there are no vampires and certainly no other kinds of supernatural beings in this world – just a grim rotting reality) yet it is far from the normal end-of-the-world shoot ’em up that is the usual zombie movie or book treatment. It is a story of a post-everything world where the surviving stragglers of living humans share what’s left of the planet with the hungry dead. Warm Bodies is Isaac Marion’s debut novel. Reading the first page convinced me that I just had to know more about “R”. This book’s beautifully subtle cover made me pick it up, the description and the enthusiastic cover quotes from bestselling authors made me crack open the covers but a well conceived marketing strategy will only take a book so far. But their grim, rotting world won't be changed without a fight. He wants to breathe again, he wants to live, and Julie wants to help him. It breaks the rules and defies logic, but R is no longer content with life in the grave. For reasons he can't understand, R chooses to save Julie instead of eating her, and a tense yet strangely tender relationship begins. Her name is Julie and she is the opposite of everything he knows - warm and bright and very much alive, she is a blast of colour in a dreary grey landscape. He is a little different from his fellow Dead.Īmongst the ruins of an abandoned city, R meets a girl. He has no name, no memories, and no pulse, but he has dreams.
