Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling disillusioned by the adults in their life or is struggling with the burden of newfound independence. It serves as a gritty, high stakes metaphor for the moment a young person realizes that the systems and mentors they once trusted are flawed, requiring them to forge their own moral compass. The story follows B, a revitalized zombie, as she escapes a predatory villain and discovers a deep betrayal from within her own sanctuary. While the setting is a terrifying dystopian London, the emotional core deals with the transition from childhood obedience to adult autonomy. It explores themes of self reliance and the courage to stand alone for what is right. Because of its graphic horror elements and dark psychological themes, it is best suited for mature teens who enjoy speculative fiction that does not shy away from the harsh realities of good versus evil.
