Description: 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 want to 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?

Why I'm Waiting:

Why am I waiting to read This is Not a Test? I have two words for you. Apocalypse and Zombies. Yup. What more do you need than that? I love, love, love the whole survival thing and this definitely sounds like it will have it. If the main character, Sloane, doesn't really care if she lives or dies like it says in the description than that could mean she'll be a bad-ass zombie killer! Or just melodramatic.. Let's keep our fingers crossed for the former. Well, This is Not a Test comes out in just a week's time and then we'll be able to find out for ourselves!

P.S.

Sorry I've been gone so long! This week has been crazy. We had my graduation open house (soo much work!) and I've been trying to get a job. Plus, my Disqus comments weren't working for a few days and I didn't want to make any posts so that people wouldn't comment with Blogger just to have them deleted when the Disqus went up again. It's fixed now though and I'm back! I even did some changes to the blog, as you might have noticed.
