"Senior year is positively hair-raising.
Kate Grable is geeked out to shadow the county medical examiner as part of her school’s pre-med program. Except when he’s arrested for murder, she’s left with the bodies. And when Kate’s brother Jonah stumbles upon a dead gamer girl, she realizes that the zombie epidemic she cured last fall was only the beginning of the weirdness taking over her town. Someone’s murdering kids—something really hairy. And strong. Possibly with claws.
Is it werewolf awesomeness like Jonah and his dorktastic friends think? Kate’s supposed to be a butt-kicking zombie killing genius...but if she can’t figure out who’s behind the freakish attacks, the victims—or what’s left of them—are going to keep piling up.
It’s scary. It’s twisted. It’s sick. It’s high school."
Immediately after finish Bad Taste In Boys I flowed into the sequel not looking back. It is amazing 🙂
So the book started where the last book left off and Kate is pretty famous. She is even offered a internship with doctors who are just as fascinated with her. I really adored that Kate took everything in with ease. She is proud of what she discovered but not stuck up. Instead she wants to continue to explore the area of medicine and biology to continue to save those who need help. The zombie disease is in control and scientist a vastly studying it.
Kate once again, finds trouble once again at the start of her internship. Her doctor is mysteriously taken away by the authorities and her boyfriend is being attack by girls. Specifically one girl. I really liked the strained of the their relationship. Kate is clueless as what to do but focuses on bigger things. She doesn’t let a guy bring her down. I like that. For once in a book, this girl is not sobbing or whining over a guy. She leaves it in his hands. Take it or leave it buddy! HA!
There are some new developments with other characters as well as a disease. I like that the focus of the book doesn’t go too far away from what started it all. Kate is still the smart girl but with a little more umph. She has grown into a smart young lady and is quickly learning about life.
Bad Hair Day is a fantastic sequel! With a new amazing plot and awesome character, Ms. Harris never fails the reader. It’s exciting, filled with never ending action. Bad Hair Day is powerful story that rocks!
I give it 5 BITES!
Happy Reading!
“For once in a book, this girl is not sobbing or whining over a guy.”
LOVE IT! Sounds like my kind of girl:) I actually had no idea there was a sequel to Bad Taste in Boys so now I’m all excited!
Ooh sweet this sounds so awesome! I’ve had Bad Taste In Boys on my Kobo for ages I really have to get to this series!
You know I had to check out the header when I first came here. LOVE IT!! 🙂
I didn’t even know this was the second book. See how on top of things I am? LOL I wanted to read this book and now I know I need to start with Bad Taste. Yep, you got me wanting these books!!
The title confuses me a bit, but it does sound like this is a really strong girl book. I agree it’s nice to see a girl not whining over boys.
