Dead City (Dead City #1) 
Most kids have enough to deal with between school, homework, extracurricular activities, and friends, but Molly Bigelow isn’t your typical tween. By day, Molly attends MIST—the Metropolitan Institute of Science and Technology—but it’s what she’s learning outside of school that sets her apart from her classmates. Molly is a zombie hunter, just like her mother.
This, however, is news to Molly. Now she must come to terms with not only the idea that zombies exist, but also that they’re everywhere, and it’s her job to help police them and keep the peace. Sure, she’d like to be a regular kid, but “regular” just isn’t possible when it turns out the most revered (or feared, depending on your perspective) zombie hunter in the history of New York City is your mother. It seems Molly’s got some legendary footsteps to follow…
This book was recommended to me by my 11 year old son. He said it was "a MUST read". He was right! I truly enjoyed this book. There wasn't a dull moment in this book and the story ran along very well. I liked the protagonist and support characters. It's a very well written book and such a fun read. I now understand why my little guy liked it so much. I'm looking forward to book 2 and 3 in the series.
Suspenseful, awesome, zombies, and zombie hunters. My favorite character is Alex. I really like how the code writing is the periodic table of elements. I also like the crazy zombies. Like the level 2's and 3's. I definitely recommend it.

When I picked up the book, I hadn't realized that it was NOT intended for a High School Junior who reads at an advanced level. And though I know it was not intended for a reader like me, it was an interesting read.The beginning of the book begins with a sort of prologue, which explains very little but introduces a nice action plot. It then throws you into the slow story of Molly Bigelow's life leading up to being a, yes, zombie hunter. And though the book has a slower, a bit of a boring, start,
As a zombie fan, I found myself very intrigued by this story. The concept is unique in the "zombie" genre (zombies confined to Manhattan?) and the action really just keeps the tale moving along. I immediately picked up volume 2 (quite the cliffhanger!) to see where Molly and her fellow Omegas are headed.
Zombies are not my favorite thing to read about, frankly, I find the whole concept rather disgusting. However, I found the premise of this series intriguing so I picked it up. And I'm glad I did. While I didn't enjoy the zombies (dripping flesh, yuck!), I did enjoy Molly and her friends. The plot here is rather different in that the most of the zombies aren't stupid, mindless creatures, but vary in terms of grossness and intelligence. There are three levels of 'undead', Level three are the

I absolutely loved Molly! Her story starts out with her killing a zombie in the locker room..one missing a hand she previously lopped off. Then while she waits for help with disposal of the body, she tells the story of how she got to be stuck in the locker room. She is brainy and smart, and although she lost her brilliant Mother to cancer..before she died she hooked Molly up with everything she would eventually need for the strange adventures that would come Molly's way. Like being an Omega..This book was recommended to me by my 11 year old son. He said it was "a MUST read". He was right! I truly enjoyed this book.
