The Confessions of Sylva Slasher by Ace Antonio Hall peaked my interest so much, I had to share it with you.
The cover alone made me pause, then………..
OMG, cruising with zombies…priceless. 
Sylva Fleischer is a teenager who works as a necromancer for a living. Wanting to get away from raising the dead for police investigations and demanding grieving families for a while, she goes on a cruise for spring break. Her vacation from the dead is short-lived when passengers on the ship turn into flesh-eating zombies. These are not the same simple-minded harmless zombies she raises and can control, so Sylva and her friends are trapped on the Pacific Ocean. Their only escape comes from a guy Sylva thought was dead: Brandon. It just so happens to also be the anniversary of his death, and she’s still hurting from his loss!
Why didn’t he call to say he’s alive? All those tears … for nothing.
Sylva doesn’t normally hold grudges, but when someone plays with her heart they have to pay. However, with the fate of the human race on the line, Brandon convinces Sylva to join him in a secret mission, yet she can’t shake the feeling that he’s hiding something.
It didn’t take long for her suspicions to hold true when it’s revealed that Brandon has been romantically involved with the very enemy he now wants her to destroy. To top that brutal betrayal, the villainous female would rather kill Brandon than let Sylva have a chance to patch things up between them. Sylva is not the kind of girl to walk away from love without a fight, but with a strange virus threatening extinction of human life, she shoves her own feelings in her back pocket to face her greatest nightmare, and that nightmare starts with something that is eerily growing right inside of her own mind and body.

Thanks for visiting fundinmental!
I can’t wait for the next book. This was crazy fun to read and I’ve been waiting for more.
As if food poisoning and sinking aren’t enough to worry about, now you have to worry about zombies on your next cruise, Sherry! LOL Maybe Mr. Wonderful can be convinced to skip it.
Forgot to mention my favorite zombie movie. Can I pick a TV show instead? That would be The Walking Dead. If a movie,hmm…Books keep popping in my head! I’ll have to think about it:)
This sounds so fun! I love zombie books.
I think this author is having way too much fun writing this series!! Best job ever!!
I’m so with you on that cover, Sherry! Talk about amazeballs! I have a hard-on for all things zombie, especially when the story has a bit of humour to it. I will definitely be checking The Confessions of Sylva Slasher out sooner rather than later.
