Courtney Summers writing the apocalypse? Can this get any better?

This is Not a Test by Courtney Summers

Summary from Goodreads :

It’s the end of the world. Six students have taken cover in Cortege High but shelter is little comfort when the dead outside won’t stop pounding on the doors. One bite is all it takes to kill a person and bring them back as a monstrous version of their former self. To Sloane Price, that doesn’t sound so bad. Six months ago, her world collapsed and since then, she’s failed to find a reason to keep going. Now seems like the perfect time to give up. As Sloane eagerly waits for the barricades to fall, she’s forced to witness the apocalypse through the eyes of five people who actually wantto live. But as the days crawl by, the motivations for survival change in startling ways and soon the group’s fate is determined less and less by what’s happening outside and more and more by the unpredictable and violent bids for life—and death—inside. When everything is gone, what do you hold on to?

  1. The blood splatter in the corner is an effective touch.

  2. Oh, I have discovered that I love zombie books, and really want to read this one! I have never heard of it before, but that’s not going to stop me! Great spotlight today!

  3. I just saw that this is on NetGalley. I have no idea if I will be granted a review copy, but it may be worth a try. It looks fantastic!!
