Amazing! An epic conclusion to one of the best YA series I've ever read. I don't even know where to begin. I laughed, I swooned, I got goose bumps . . . I fought the tears as I gripped the edge of the pages in my fists. There's so much emotion, twists, turns, and loops that I was on a white-knuckled roller coaster ride the entire time! I found myself second guessing things I thought I knew and blindsided by those I should have seen coming! It felt like I'd been punched in the gut and crumbled ov

I just adore Ali's voice and all the funny banter between these characters. They've been a joy to get to know for three books! A very satisfying ending to a must-read trilogy for lovers of YA paranormal romances.

So I don't know why, but this book did not hold my attention well at all and only the last 20% of the book was really any good. I'll read the next book in the series, but only because it's the last one and I want to finish it. Hopefully, it's more like the last two and better than this one.

Roses are Red. Violets are Blue. Be Very Afraid, We're Coming For You.
16-year old Alice "Ali" Bell has had a trying year. She's lost her entire family in a car crash. She's come face to face with zombies that were once humans, and defeated them with abilities no one else seems to have. She's joined with a group of slayers who she now calls friends.

Barely 3. Maybe 2.5 stars. This book dragged for me and the characters drove me nuts and I just felt the plot was weak. This takes a revenge line that I just didn't feel. It started edgey but then as we meet other slayers and then the identity crisis, the new powers...it was just weird. And WAY too much attention was given to focus on Ali and Cole's teen hormone moments. Listening via audio nearly 2 hours straight with nothing happening but talking about their relationship, making out and sex. I

✨3 stars✨
I can’t give it any more stars than that because it’s definitely the weakest of the series, but it still has a special place in my heart, so just because I recognise its issues doesn’t mean I don’t still adore it. This book is like that really questionable teacher that's a cool and nice person but just kinda sucks at actually teaching. You want to complain about them because they’re not very good, but you can’t quite bring yourself to do it because you do still like them. Is that too sp ...more

Beautiful. Amazing ending to the series. Worth the wait. The series left me with a bitter sweet feeling becausd not everybody gets a happy ending. I would love to hear more about a character who lost something that.. broke my soul.

you know what, I didn't hate Ali, I think when she was fighting and making decisions and whatnot, she owned it, and was fearless but sometimes ... man, I just wanted the Anima people to take her and be done with her.
I liked that we got to learn about her past, her family and the reasons why she's being hunted. BUT hated her relationship with Cole, I HATED them together, he was so possessive (sometimes for no reason) and super controlling and always thinking he was right (AS IF!!) and I hated th ...more

I have to start out with the three things I love most about this series: the insane amount of action, Alice Bell herself. and Cole Holland.
Let us begin with the action. (I'm saving the best for last guys, calm yourselves)

I love this series. But I had to put this book down because I had just been dumped, and reading this was just too painful.
Now that time has passed, and my heart doesn't feel like it's being ripped out of my chest every second, I was able to finish the book. I love Gena Showalter. She writes like a conversation, like a real person. She gets you to care for the characters. You empathize on another level.

Ugh, I don't know how much longer I can stand the emotional turmoil! I think this one is the worst! But of course, the book is still magnificent, even though Gena Showalter had my heart in a vice grip until the last page. From the beginning, there is nothing but action, which was a nice change of pace from the last one; way less couple drama. Seriously, y'all need to read this series. You'll thank me later.

2.5 stars
This was a huge disappointment for me. I loved the first two books, but this one fell flat for me, for multiple reasons.
The first reason why is because of the romance.
I really enjoyed Ali and Cole's chemistry in the first two books. They were cute, hot, and fun to read about. Now, it's getting really awkward to read. This is partially because there is a lot of spanking references. Like Cole's always threatening to spank Ali, you know, in a friendly way. This doesn't come off as YA rom ...more

With the first two books being so successful and entertaining, it was no surprise that this book too, kept me on the edge of my seat. The war between Anima and our heroes of zombie slayers is coming to a close, and we have no idea how our heroes are even going to win when they keep continuing to lose.

Buddy read with Aly
If you thought the stakes were high in Alice Through the Zombie Glass that's nothing compared to what Ali and the slayers are facing in this instalment. Zombies may be evil but they're mindless creatures that act on instinct and it turns out that humans are far more dangerous. Anima doesn't want to see the slayers wipe out the zombies, not when they've worked so hard to find a way to control them, so they will do whatever it takes to wipe out Ali and her friends.
