“A combination of historical mystery, romance, and zombie mayhem, tied together by the infinitely fun premise that Lizzie Borden had a very good reason to give her father and stepmother forty whacks! Loved the first in this series and the second is just as fun.”—Dana Fredsti, author of the Ashley Parker Plague series.
* * * * Preview: Chapter One We pray thee that innocence may be revealed and guilt exposed…” —The Rev. M.C. Julien, opening prayer Trial of Lizzie Borden, June 5, 1893 Fall River, Massachusetts—October, 1893 Lizzie Borden sprang awake, startled by a sound she never expected, or wanted to hear again—a low, eerie keen that made her skin crawl and the long, straight hairs on her neck curl up into tight ringlets. “No, no!” She jumped out of bed and ran to the window, her heart pounding in fear. “Please, don’t let it be!” The chaotic scene on the street below filled her with disbelief and horror. No matter which direction she looked, she saw pure evil—groups of the undead she’d truly thought were gone forever. They’d been vanquished—or so she’d been told. Who had lied? Then she had another unexpected, but this time much more pleasant, shock—seeing her former self-defense instructor Pierre Moret. As the monsters shambled closer, he stood a moment as if in contemplation before closing the wrought iron gate. He waved for her to come down and disappeared out of view by the front door. Why is he here? Why now? The ghastly roars and growls outside quickly made her realize it didn’t matter. Her panic rising, Lizzie threw off her nightwear and slipped on one of the old pair of bloomers she’d worn in previous fights. For some reason, she’d kept the costume in her armoire, though she’d expected to never, ever, be doing this again....

"There is class warfare, capitalism gone wild, and family guilt. What a combo! Why do I like Verstraete’s take on the zombie hordes? Purpose and individuality. I wish for more merry mayhem from her. Long may she maim!"-- Terrance McArthur, King's River Life Magazine
"Most books don’t have a well enough follow through for me to read the entire second book to a series or a duo. BUT…. I mean a huge but, C. A. Verstraete was able to not only keep my attention, but she friggin’ executed the entire thing! I was captivated by how well the story panned out. It was thrilling in all the right places and not once did it let up on suspense." -- Dezzy @NerdGirl.com
"...I loved the way Lizzie’s insecurities, fears and determination make her more real as she tries to solve the mystery, rescue Emma, and fight off the zombie hordes. Filled with exciting and somewhat gruesome action, and an ever deepening mystery that kept me glued to the page until the very end of this well written tale. A fast paced and enchanting 4.5 star read." - Horror Maiden's Book Reviews
