A fast-paced young adult novel that will appeal to even reluctant readers, male as well as a broad female audience. It's a post-apocalyptic world where water covers much of the planet, magic rules, zombies walk and werewolves roam the wilderness.
When Mikey LoPinto is bitten by a werewolf and infected with the werewolf virus, Riko Light and Mikey set out to find a cure. They meet a strange boy named Oz who leads them on a journey threatened by cannibals, witches, demons and zombies.
Oz and Riko find themselves falling in love while the clock runs out on finding a cure for Mikey, and Oz fights off the deadly spell cast by his mother’s Satanic Bible.

This is a decent paranormal fantasy book--containing werewolves, witches, zombies and cannibals. Riko's best friend Mikey gets bit by a werewolf and they only have a few days left to get a cure for him. The journey is fraught with dangerous creatures--will they make it in time? The cover is so cheesy but the writing is decent. I could see my high school students liking it as well as adults.
