Biting Cold
by Chloe Neill
Chicagoland Vampires, book six
Merit is on the hunt, charging across the stark American Midwest, tailing a rogue supernatural intent on stealing an ancient artifact that could unleash catastrophic evil on the world. But Merit is also the prey. An enemy of Chicagoland is hunting her, and he'll stop at nothing to get the book for himself. No mercy allowed.
No rules apply. No lives spared. The race is on. (description from Amazon.com)
Okay, trying to be non-spoilery...not only does this particular book in the series pack a whopping emotional punch, but it also ramps up the action a notch. Merit has to fight some big battles and face some enemies she previously thought were friends... I loved it. Yet again, Neill sucked me right in and left me waiting anxiously for the next one...

Two Weeks' Notice
by Rachel Caine
The Revivalist, book two
After dying and being revived with the experimental drug Returne, Bryn
Davis is theoretically free to live her unlife—with regular doses to keep her
going. But Bryn knows that the government has every intention of keeping a tight
lid on Pharmadene’s life-altering discovery, no matter the cost.
Thankfully, some things have changed for the better; her job at the
rechristened Davis Funeral Home is keeping her busy and her fragile romance with
Patrick McCallister is blossoming—thanks in part to their combined efforts in
forming a support group for Returne addicts. But when some of the group members
suddenly disappear, Bryn wonders if the government is methodically removing a
threat to their security, or if some unknown enemy has decided to run the
zombies into the ground… (description from Amazon.com)
I love this science-fiction take on zombies. Caine's writing always blends the perfect amounts of action, romance, and sheer drama for me. Looking for a zombie series that doesn't go heavy into the whole brain consumption aspect? Give these a try...
