Passing Strange by Daniel WatersPublished: June 1st 2010 (Simon and Schuster)
Karen DeSonne always passed as a normal (if pale) teenager; with her friends, with her family, and at school. Passing cost her the love of her life. And now that Karen’s dead, she’s still passing—this time, as alive. Karen DeSonne just happens to be an extremely human-like zombie. Meanwhile, Karen’s dead friends have been fingered in a high-profile murder, causing a new round of antizombie regulations that have forced them into hiding. Karen soon learns that the “murder” that destroyed their non-life was a hoax, staged by Pete Martinsburg and his bioist zealots. Obtaining enough evidence to expose the fraud and prove her friends’ innocence means doing the unthinkable: becoming Pete’s girlfriend. Karen’s only hope is that the enemy never realizes who she really is—because the consequences would be worse than death.
I have the first two sitting on my shelf waiting to be read so I thought 'Why not?' Looks good though doesn't it?

Ooh, another Generation Dead novel! Karen's my favourite character, and this story sounds really interesting. Thanks for this post - I can't wait!
This looks interesting ;)
Interesting cover:)
I wasn't that keen on the last instalment of this series, but I'm intrigued to read this summary because it sounds like Karen might be taking centre stage - and she's also my favourite character. I might have to give this one a go now! Great pick.
I haven't heard of this one yet. It sounds really good. Great pick!
You won an award on my blog :)

Hmmm...not entirely sure I would like this. I have a prejudice towards zombies. They freak me out!
Can't wait for this one either :)
