The House of Dead Maids by Clare Dunkle

Tabby is taken from her orphanage and brought to Seldom House to be the maid of a young boy. Seldom House is unusual in that many ghosts haunt it; young maids and masters who have died there. Tabby doesn't understand what they want from her and she thinks they're trying to tell her something. That is until Tabby and the young boy come across the sick workings of Seldom House. After they run away, Tabby reconnects with family and the young boy is taken in with another family.

In the end, the young boy is taken to Wuthering Heights. He will later be the character Heathcliffe in the story of Wuthering Heights.

It was interesting. I have never read Wuthering Heights before, but I know the story line of it. This was an interesting prequel. Definitely a haunting tale, but with a nice ending.

I have not stopped reading! Bear with me. I'm taking a summer class and between that and work I'm not moving through books very quickly. I am still reading one, but I only get through a few pages a day. Expect to see more posts towards the beginning of August! :)

Kiss of Life by Daniel Waters

The second book in the Generation Dead series.

Adam has come back as a zombie and Phoebe feels like she owes it to him to help him become adjusted. He did die for her after all. Meanwhile, Pete Martinsburg is recruited by an anti-zombie group who is trying to make the zombies look dangerous. Now, the zombies are fighting for their lives even though no one will believe them.

This is one of those books where you need to read the first one so I apologize if the summary doesn't make sense. Kiss of Life was awesome just like Generation Dead. I love the concept of the differently biotic teenagers and the zombie movements.
