The flu pandemic of 1918 took millions of souls within a few short weeks. Except it wasn't flu, and death gave them back.
Seventeen-year-old Ella copes the best she can by caring for her war-injured father, scrubbing the floors, and slaying the undead that attack the locals. Like rats, these vermin spread pestilence with every bite. Ella's world collides with another when she nearly decapitates a handsome stranger - one who is very much alive.
Seth deMage, the new Duke of Leithfield, has returned to his ancestral home with a mission from the War Office: control the plague of vermin in rural Somerset. He needs help; he just didn't expect to find it in a katana-wielding scullery maid.
Working alongside Seth blurs the line between their positions, and Ella glimpses a future she never dreamed was possible. But in overstepping society's boundaries, Ella could lose everything - her home, her head, and her heart.

Fantastic Twist on a Classic Fairytale

It dips into the after effects from horrors of the First World War. This unromantic view point of war only adds to the mood on the current state of events that helps set the stage for the story Ella finds herself in.
I enjoyed the fact that Ella is portrayed as real and flawed human. She misses obvious answers to situations due to stress and concerns. It is when a writer can build on the support characters as a means to SUPPORT the story without being obtuse that really make it worth read/listening to again.

I'm not usually a fan of zombie stories. This one was alright. Kept my interest. Classic Cinderella story mixed with zombies.

The Cons: It's pretty much an exact remake of the movie "Everafter" set in the 1940's, but with zombies and lots of teenage angst (and some sexual angst). I'm not sure if it was the narrator or the content, but some of the romance and "longing" described felt a little over the top.
It's cute...mostly. But...
