Apocalyptic Moon by Eva Gordon
Apocalyptic Moon by Eva Gordon, 362 pages
Dr. Dora Adler is celebrating her 27th birthday in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Every female member of her family has died on their 27th birthday and she is worried the curse will make her its next victim. When she is bitten by a zombie, Dora fears the curse has succeeded in ending her life. Surprisingly, she doesn't succumb to the virus and instead becomes a guinea pig for a test facility. While there she meets a gorgeous alpha werewolf to whom she is immediately attracted. Together they attempt escape from the facility and try to find Dora's step-brother and niece. In the meantime, there is a huge war brewing between religious fanatics, human-hating werewolf packs and zombies.
The author seemed to have a lot of agendas in her writing -- Everything from gay marriage/parenting, to religion and politics are interwoven in the story. This might offend some readers. Still, it's an interesting mix of romance, zombies, werewolves, shape-shifters and witches. (Although I could have done without the graphic descriptions of zombies eating people.) I liked that the main female character was strong and intelligent. The storyline is a bit disjointed, but enjoyable.

Supernaturally by Kiersten White
Supernaturally by Kiersten White - 336
Evie is at it again, but this time all she wants to be is normal. Since leaving IPCA she has been living a "normal" life at her new high school where she really hates her gym class and her gym teacher. So boring, for her at least. Alas, help comes to the rescue, IPCA wants to enlist her help, but she gets to choose if she wants to do them or not, but knowing Evie she will do all. If it takes going behind her boyfriend Lend's back, then so be it. While on these missions she runs into her ex- the fey- and her world is turned upside down again. Will she be able to understand the true meaning of friendship or will she go to her friends for help?
