This Is Not a Test
Courtney Summers
Publisher: St. Martin’s Griffin
To be released: June 2012
Summary (from Goodreads):
It’s the end of the world. Six students have taken
cover in Cortege High but shelter is little comfort when the dead outside won’t
stop pounding on the doors. One bite is all it takes to kill a person and bring
them back as a monstrous version of their former self. To Sloane Price, that
doesn’t sound so bad. Six months ago, her world collapsed and since then, she’s
failed to find a reason to keep going. Now seems like the perfect time to give
up.
Sloane eagerly waits for the barricades to fall, she’s forced to witness the
apocalypse through the eyes of five people who actually want to live. But as
the days crawl by, everyone’s motivations to survive begin to change in
startling ways and soon the group’s fate is determined less and less by what’s
happening outside and more and more by the unpredictable and violent bids for
life–and death–inside.
everything is gone, what do you hold on to?

This sounds like a really
awesome zombie/apocalypse novel. I am also in love with this cover! There is
something simple, but gorgeous about it. I’ll definitely be checking this book
out next year!
