Bad Hair Day
by Carrie Harris
Kate Grable series, book two
Publication date: November 13, 2012
Kate Grable is geeked out to shadow the county medical examiner as part of
her school's premed program. But after he's arrested for murder, she's left with
the bodies. And when Kate's brother, Jonah, stumbles upon a dead gamer girl,
Kate realizes that the zombie epidemic she cured last fall was only the
beginning of the weirdness taking over her town. Someone—or something—is
murdering kids. Something really hairy. And strong. Possibly with
claws.
Could it be werewolves, like Jonah and his dorktastic friends think? Kate's supposed to be a butt-kicking, zombie-killing genius . . . but if she can't figure out what's behind the freakish attacks, the victims—or what's left of them—are going to keep piling up. (desription from Amazon.com)

Oh, Carrie Harris... how do I love your books? Let me count the ways:
1. Sassy heroine
2. SMART heroine
3. Good friends
4. A great boyfriend
5. Funny, loyal brother
6. Viral Zombies
7. Hilarious LARP groupies
8. "Werewolves" (or are they...)
9. Nanobots
10. Geektastic internships with Doctors
11. A "Rock"-a-Thon
This book once again made me laugh out loud, even as I was marveling at the brilliant blend of the paranormal and hardcore science. I love that for every weird phenomenon that happens, there is a perfectly viable explanation and, of course...Kate is always right there to fix things!
The perfect vacation read (I tore through this one while I was in Martha's Vineyard, in fact), I am going to bestow a beautiful Gold Star to this book!
I'm also going to let you know to keep an eye out for Carrie Harris' novella, Bad Yeti, coming out on the same day (I've already pre-ordered mine!) featuring Kate's younger brother, Jonah!
