Confusing At Times
I really wanted to like this book, and for the most part I did, but there was a lot in there that was just plain confusing.
Kayla and her pet, Baby, live in a bus in London. London is now infested with Panda faced zombies. Yes I said Panda faced. They have black rings around their eyes and black around the nose and mouth. So they look like Pandas. Kayla is a immune to the Panda Virus, which is described as airborne, however, she will get it if she’s bitten or scratched by a Panda Zombie. This was one of the most confusing things to me, in the glossary the virus is described as airborne but infects those who are bitten or scratched, this means it isn’t airborne but passed through contact.
Kayla meets Connor who claims to know her from when they were children. She has no memory of this, which he says was caused by an accident that killed her brother and stole away Connor and his friends Crowley and Charlie too. Apparently all three were destined be her mates. It is Connor that explains that Baby is in fact not a dog like Kayla believed but a lion.
We then have a series of adventures where we meet the other guys, she dislikes them and wants nothing to do with them one minute and then the next she changes her mind after a near death experience. It felt very much like she was one person at the start of the book and then it all flipped over and she was all of sudden a much happier, easy going person who was delighted to be a in a relationship.
It just seems to get more and more confusing. It felt like there should be more explanations for things as they flipped around into something else. I got to the point where I just thought, ‘read it Chrissy and just switch off your brain during the bits which don’t make sense.’ That worked quite well, but it annoyed me somewhat to have to do that.
This book had so many ingredients of a book that I would like that I am disappointed that it didn’t quite happen. It’s an entertaining book, and if you are good at switching your brain off during leaps of bizarre logic, then you’ll be really happy reading this book, otherwise, be prepared for your head to hurt afterwards.
