Utterly amazing! Review to come!! 
 Update 10/31/14: 
 Authors take note...this is the way to end a series! The Queen of Zombie Hearts is an epic conclusion to an amazing series that will leave any fan extremely happy, full of tears, and eager to re-read the entire series as soon as they're done. Gena Showalter has never disappointed me with a book, and this novel is definitely no exception. Every single scene is extremely well-crafted, from the writing to the descriptions to the voice of Ali Bell. Ms. Showalter throws twists and turns at us throughout the book, and you never know what is going to happen next! Just when you think everything is going to be okay, BAM! CURVEBALL! And I absolutely 
 LOVED 
 it. 
 Ali has always been one of my favorite main characters. She has such a wonderfully hilarious POV, and she has only grown snarkier. Watching her development over the course of the series has been such an amazing thing to read. Ms. Showalter did a remarkable job at growing Ali into a strong, kick-ass heroine that goes to the ends of the earth for those she loves and cares about. Ali-gator is better than ever in this one, and is just plain awesome! Cole is as swoonworthy as ever, and will have you fanning yourself many many times. Seriously, the boy is sexy to the extreme and I want need him in my life. He is so protective of his Ali-gator, but at the same time lets her take charge and be her own person. He doesn't treat her like a baby or fragile little thing anymore. Cole realizes that she can handle her own, and let's her go do her thing. The chemistry between Cole and Ali is undeniable, and is intense. Their romance is extremely well written and just adorable. I absolutely adore their relationship! 
 The minor characters, who in my opinion have never just been minor characters, are just as amazing as our 2 main leads. Kat and Reeves are the best girlfriends a person can have, and everyone needs a Kat in their lives. The whole gang is back, but there are also some new characters that we get to know. However, reader beware...there's a betrayer in their midst, and you won't see it coming. This book will leave you guessing until the end, and you will be speed reading to find out what happens. 
 This book definitely has some heart-wrenching moments, and you will definitely cry (or at least have tears in your eyes) at one part at the end. I couldn't believe when a certain character died, but don't worry, things work out in their own way. 
 Ms. Showalter's imagination and creativity is at an all-time high in this novel, and she delivers yet another amazing read. I highly recommend reading this book if you are a fan of the series because you won't be disappointed. However, if you haven't read this series yet, go get this book NOW! You need to read this series, as it will definitely be one of your new favorite series'. I can't wait to see what Ms. Showalter writes next! 
 Happy reading :)
