Synopsis: 
 Thea Holder spends her evenings waitressing at the Telephone Club and the day taking care of her mother, who is suffering from bond-sickness and believes that her husband is still alive. When Thea's best friend Nan goes missing, she teams up with Freddy to uncover the city's secrets, but Freddy has secrets of his own. 
 Thoughts: 
 I'm rounding up from a 3.5 to a 4 stars for uniqueness. I really didn't know what this book was getting into it and just enjoyed the ride. There was quite a bit to enjoy: the author's take on zombies, the atmosphere of the world, the fact that it's third person (my personal favorite), Nan and Sigi... My only big complaint is that the ending felt too rushed. What happens with Sigi at the end is almost completely brushed over emotion wise and felt too rushed. It is set up to be a duology so maybe we'll see the character struggle with it a bit more in the second book? We shall see, but it was definitely an intriguing start. 
 Actual Rating: 3.5
