Weekly Give-A-Way: EAT BRAINS LOVE

Each week this summer, the Teen Zone will be giving away a free advanced reader's copy (ARC--book yet to be published) signed by the author. All you have to do to be eligible is log your reading here.

This week the Signed Book Give Away is EAT BRAINS LOVE by Jeff Hart.


Necrotizing (turning into Zombies) in their school Cafeteria, Jake and Amanda, the gamer and the cheerleader respectively, are now on the run from a government agency determined to rid the world of Zombies...or worse. On their action and snack filled road trip they have only each other on which to rely.

Cass is a teenage psychic and a member of that government agency. She is in Jake's head and must lead her team to the zombie duo. Only, she has found a better way of spending her days.

Genre: Zombie Romance--big on action and gore--slightly hilarious.

Recommended for fans of Warm Bodies and Hold Me Closer, Necromancer
