An Edwardian Cinderella retelling.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; caring for her war-injured father, scrubbing the floors, and slaying the undead that attack the locals. Vermin they're called, like rats they spread pestilence with their bite. Ella's world collides with another when she nearly decapitates a handsome stranger, 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 -- to 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 - home, head and her heart...

About the Author Books and writing have always been an enormous part of Anita's life. She survived school by hiding out in the library, with several thousand fictional characters for company. At university, she overcame the boredom of studying accountancy by squeezing in Egyptology papers and learning to read hieroglyphics. Today, Anita writes twisted historical novels. She lives in rural New Zealand surrounded by an assortment of weird and wonderful horses, cats, a mad boxer and chickens who think they are mini Velociraptors.

I liked the premise and the characters. I had three major problems.1. It seemed that about 3/4ths of the way through the book, the editing stopped. I started running into glaring grammatical errors. I started losing focus on the story and just wanted to correct the verb and noun tenses and add in the words that were missing. I can deal with the occasional error, but this was excessive.**Possible Spoilers**2. Late in the book there is a scene where the heroine, Ella, is beaten by her step-mother. It is described as fairly severe, and she can barely walk. Within hours she is dressed for the ball, dancing the night away and killing vermin all night. At one point she is tackled to the ground by the hero. Seth, and she does not even say ouch. The beating is never mentioned again. Where did it go? Does Ella have a healing factor? She should at least be sore. It is like the beating was added in later, after the book was finished, as another reason to dislike her step-mother. Since it was never referred to again, it may as well not have happened.3. At the ball (it is Cinderella after all) we are treated to a fight with the vermin. A novice vermin slayer joins the action. All of the experienced participants are standing there with masks on and this guy comes up and joins them. Ella goes into an internal discussion about how he should cover his mouth, because if you get the vermin blood in your mouth it will kill you. Of course, he gets the blood in his mouth, and gets sick. How hard would it have been for one of the experienced people to just say something to him? This is another case where it just seem that this poor guy was just thrown in so we could see him die. There is no logic to this. Surely, someone could say something. Not just stand there and think how stupid he is for not covering his mouth. That is the other problem that I have, along the same lines, after nine months of fighting the vermin, surely someone would have come up with something better than a handkerchief to use to keep blood out of their mouth. I don't even see how a handkerchief would keep blood out of your mouth. It would just soak through and get all over your lips and you would still get some in your mouth or nose when you breathed.I am sorry if this seems nitpicky or overly critical. The lack of logic just got to me.
21 of 23 people found the following review helpful. Love! By volleygirl23 Really good book. I read a lot, and by a lot, I mean an embarrassing exorbitant amount (usually between 5-20 books a month). I get so annoyed when I get a sample with a really interesting writing style only to buy it and by chapter three the dialogue is so inane or so morally retched, I have to delete it because who wants stupid books cluttering up their Kindle? Thankfully, this is not a stupid book. If you like the sample, you will like the entire book. However, in the beginning, after reading the synopsis, I wasn't quite sold because really?? Zombies in yet another story?? Nonetheless, Ella is a great protagonist with a sense of humor; in fact, she may be part awesomeness. And the ending? Inspired. Here's hoping for a sequel!
8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Good Book, Horrible Ending By Katrina Strong Warning, this does contain spoilers. I liked most of the book right up until the end. I liked the characters and the story, and I felt that it was well written. Right up until the end. At the end, there is the big battle where they are trying to capture a "queen" zombie to study it, but they are getting overrun so they have to blow up the nest instead. She goes back home after and walks in on her stepmother trying to kill her father. While saving him, she accidently infects her stepmother with queen zombie blood. This is where the author loses me. Rather than either lock her up and turn her over the soldiers she was JUST WITH so they can have that queen zombie to study that they needed, or killing her because she is evil, just tried to kill her father, and is about to turn into a QUEEN ZOMBIE, she just lets her go to wreak havoc on the countryside and go kill who knows how many people. She has two perfectly acceptable options, she had no trouble turning in the last zombie queen she found and has been killing zombies the whole book, but suddenly she thinks letting her stepmother go is a good idea. Now, every person her stepmother kills from this point on is on HER head. I know the author is trying to turn the book into a series, but that decision single handedly made me lose all respect for the character and there is no way I am continuing the series.
