Quiet, unpopular, non-cheerleading Mia is blissfully happy. She is dating super hot football god Rob, and he actually likes her and asked her to prom!I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. When I first touched the book, I knew my long wait was justified. You could almost hear a heavenly chorus and see a beam of light shining down on me right then as I stood in the library.
Enter Samantha - cheerleading goddess and miss popularity - who starts making a move for Rob. With prom in a few days, Mia needs to act fast. So she turns to her best friend, Candice, and decides to do a love spell on Rob.
Unfortunately, she ends up inflicting a zombie virus onto her whole class, making herself their leader!
At first she is flattered that everyone is treating her like a queen.
But then zombie hunter hottie Chase explains they are actually fattening her up, because in a few days, Mia will be the first course in their new diet. She's sure she and Chase can figure something out, but she suggests that no one wear white to prom, because things could get very messy.
Just me, the book and a heavenly chorus. *smiles dreamily*
Zombie Queen of Newbury High had the perfect blend of humour and action. All the characters were just so likeable even though they didn't really have much depth to them (except for the main characters and main suppoting characters). Even Mia's nemesis Samantha was likeable, and I don't know about you, but I like reading about likeable nemesis.
I have to praise Amanda Ashby's writing again. I don't know how she does it! Her books are just so light and fun to read. The plots are all original and refreshing to read about. Such a threatening situation, and she makes it one that I'd love to be in (with Chase please).
All in all, another great book.

I have an award for you on my blog!
I haven't picked this book up yet but your heavenly choir description really makes me wish I already had. I definitely gotta get myself a copy because I too really enjoy likeable baddies!! (Like Aphrodite in the House of Night series - I totally love her)
