Review ~ Panty Raid at Zombie High, by Rusty Fischer

Toby’s best friend, and unrequited love, Molly Harper has gone missing. Molly’s boyfriend, “Spud,” thinks he knows where she’s been taken: the mysterious Zombie High, where Spud’s father just happens to be in charge of the top-secret medical facility famous for its work rehabilitating teenage zombies.

Armed with blueprints, passwords, keys and codes, Spud and Toby are ready to make an all-out assault on Zombie High and rescue their fair Molly. There’s just one problem: Toby and Spud are the biggest wimps at Cypress Cove High and need some muscle along for the ride in case any of the zombies get loose.

That’s where Boner and Zack come in. Two of the football team’s biggest players, the jocks are easily conned into joining Spud and Toby on their fictional “panty raid” the minute Spud calls them “chicken” for not accepting his challenge to spend the night at Zombie High.

When Zack and Boner show up to accept the challenge, however, they don’t come alone; they bring their two girlfriends, Lilac and Haley, along for the ride. With events spiraling out of control and zombies lurking around every corner, will Toby and Spud even survive their night at Zombie High, let alone rescue Molly? (From GoodReads)

I'm a newbie to the Zombie Craze. Yes, I watch The Walking Dead, but only just recently, and I fast-forward through the really yucky parts. And though I have a few sitting on my bookshelf, I haven't actually read any zombie-centric books. So when author Rusty Fischer offered me a copy of his book, I happily jumped at the chance to dig in...so to speak.

With a name like Panty Raid at Zombie High, you expect a funny, sort of tongue-in-cheek book, right? I did, and that is exactly what I got. The book is told from the perspective of Toby, a teenage guy, and Fischer did an excellent job of portraying the dialogue and reactions of Toby and the fellow Panty-Raiders. The tone was a little wry, ironic, and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny.

The premise behind the book was very clever and set in the near future. And, the scenario seemed entirely too possible (Eeek!). As for the zombies? These are not cute, lovable, misunderstood zombies. These are bone-crunching, flesh-ripping, marrow-slurping (ugh, I almost gagged writing that!) zombies that want to eat your BRAINSSSS.

Panty Raid at Zombie High is a fairly quick read, measuring in on my ereader at 116 pages. Perfect for a short bit of funny, and creepy, entertainment!

Worthy of a Little Extra Loving!

Favorite Quote ~

"But Spud looks so confident, and the guys are acting cool, and the chicks are fairly hot so...am I the
only fool here? Does no one else care that a rabid, brain-eating zombie could jump out from behind
the building at any moment and suck our brains out of our skulls like the last scoop of three-alarm
chili from the bottom of the bowl?"
