Jenny is a heroine you’ll have no trouble following into one bloody battle after another. She is strong and charismatic, a natural born leader, yet she also has a softer, more vulnerable side, one that is scared to hope for a better life. After surviving a horrendous childhood and just marginally better adulthood, Jenny is a woman with strong principles and a very kind heart.

Here's the set-up:
Dead girls don't cry.
In a world ravaged by disease
and chaos, Jenny has a secret. She and her brother were part of a
gruesome experiment conducted ten years earlier in an attempt to stop
the zombie apocalypse. If the rumors are true, her mother was the hated
pathologist who released the disease in the first place, leading to the
destruction of government, civilization, and life as we know it.
Despite
the constant terror of the undead, Jenny is as happy as a
post-apocalyptic girl can be. She has friends, she's good with a knife,
and she has Declan Munro by her side. But when she hears her brother
might still be alive and living with the Underground, a religious group
hiding in the now-defunct subway, Jenny jumps at the chance to find him.
She infiltrates the group to right the wrong she caused when she ran
away, leaving him in that lab.
When she finds him, though, Casey
is not at all what she expected. He's been turned. And the impossible
happens when Jenny is bitten. She and Casey are dead, but they're not
like any other rotters. Their minds are still intact. And there are
others: Thirteen children survived the mysterious experiments, and it's
up to Jenny to find them and bring an end to the plague. But not
everyone wants the chaos to end.
Between battling her hunger for
living flesh and the all-encompassing rage that goes with it, and the
realization that a killer is stalking both the living and the undead,
Jenny has her hands full. Coming between a dead girl and the people she
loves is a big mistake. Because if you can count on one thing, it's
this:
You wouldn't like her angry.
One Reviewer Notes:
J.L. Murray does a wonderful job of creating protagonists who are both bad-ass and vulnerable all at once. The complexity of the characters that the author creates is one of the things that keep me coming back for more. Further still, the story is well-written and paced just right. I always felt like the characters and I were moving toward something. And the movement wasn't aimless--each character had their own strong motivations for what they were doing. The author put a lot of thought into ensuring that everything in the story was there with a purpose.
