Graveminder by Melissa Marr -- Book Review

 Melissa Mar is known to young adult readers as the author of the popular faery series Wicked Lovely. Her debut leap into adult fiction lands her in the small community of Claysville, a town where the dead walk free unless their graves are not properly tended. Into this eerie maelstrom, Rebekkah Barrow descends as she returns to a place that she once believed she knew. Kelley Armstrong justly described Graveminder as "a deliciously creepy tale that is as skillfully wrought as it is spellbindingly imagined." A new genre author to watch.Graveminder

Definetly an interesting take on zombies!
I think it was a bit slow getting started and there were a LOT of characters tied into the story, making it a little difficult to wrap your head around.
Personally, i thought that it focuses a little too much on the love story than the actual events, thus leaving a lot of my questions unanswered.
It wasn't nearly as creepy or scary as i thought it would be.
Not going to be at the top of my recommendation list, but if blood drinking, flesh snacking, talking zombies with feelings is your thing -- then by all means, indulge youself. I don't regret reading it. Just not a favorite :)
