As the final volume in the series opens, Maddy, Dane, and Stamp are still together, though barely, nestled safely inside the walls of Sentinel City, a stronghold designed to keep Zerkers out—and zombies in.
Maddy trains night and day, hoping to join Vera as a Keeper. Dane has been given Sentinel Support in the form a busty blonde named Courtney. And what of Stamp? Although Maddy's dad has worked hard to rehabilitate him after his Zerker bite, he's still not all . . . there.
When Dr. Swift inadvertently allows the zombies' archenemy, Val, to escape from Sentinel City, Maddy's world turns upside down. She and Stamp are vanished—expelled from the safety of Sentinel City, no better than common Zerkers. Dane, a Sentinel now, escapes punishment and is assigned to ensure that his old friends never return.
As Maddy and Stamp stray from the safety of Sentinel City, danger mounts . . . and not just for them. Val has taken up residence in a seaside town and enrolled in another Normal high school. To outwit her and save Seagull Shores from all-out zombie Armageddon, Maddy must face her archenemy once again.
Only this time, she's all alone...

Life at the supersecret good-zombie headquarters, nicknamed Sentinel City by heroine Maddy, is complicated, unsatisfying and short. Stamp, Maddy's one-time love interest, has been badly damaged by his Zerker (bad zombie) infection from Zombies Don't Forgive (2013), and although he's partially recovered his old self, he's mentally delayed from the experience. As for Maddy's other love interest--broody, older zombie Dane--he's left her for a younger, fresher dead girl. But at least Maddy has her father, safe in Sentinel City, where he studies both Stamp and longtime antagonist Val to gather information on Zerkers. When Val escapes, Maddy, her father and Stamp are unjustly scapegoated. Maddy's father is too valuable to lose, but they expel Maddy and Stamp. Taking care of Stamp, Maddy ends up in a nearby town where she's identified by a local who's familiar with zombies. The local asks for Maddy's help--kids are disappearing, and a Zerker horde is growing. The romantic drama is all post-breakup awkwardness: Dane and his new flame are assigned by the Sentinels to handle the infestation, bringing them and Maddy together. The brainiest this book gets is in its delineation of delightfully disgusting zombie cuisine--brain smoothies, brain nuggets and cat food. Resolutely on her own, Maddy's storyline is surprisingly empowering, especially in the ending, which draws multiple storylines to a close. For readers craving lighter--yet still violent and gory--cannibalistic action with a side of self-discovery. (Horror. 13 & up)COPYRIGHT(2014) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
