104:44 Deadline by Mira Grant

The 2nd book in the Newsflesh series (sequel to Feed). This one is mainly told from the POV of Shaun about a year after George's death. He continues to talk to her as her voice keeps resounding in his head but he is resolute in trying to find the people behind Tate's actions that led to her death. Little did he know that the biggest story is just about to land in his lap...

Again, incredibly fast-paced with real characters. Much less about the zombies themselves and much more into the science of how it happened and where things are going. It's harder to identify quite as much with Shaun as I did with George but he is still incredibly well written and he's easy to understand. There are definitely some major surprises again in this one (no spoilers, sorry) that will leave you cursing Ms. Grant and wanting to go hunt her down so you can get your hands on a copy of the next manuscript. Unfortunately, it looks like that will have to wait another year and I will just have to make do with her October Daye series until the next one comes out.
