Amy is a survivor, one of the few humans, or frail as they're called, left after a plague has hit, leaving almost everyone either an ex-zombie or ex-human. The ex-humans and ex-zombies are left with an extreme hunger and an ability to heal, leaving them almost completely immortal. Amy is told that her mother is dead but she refuses to believe it. Stalked by feral dogs that exist in her imagination and real life, Amy is taken under wing by Lisa, an ex-human. They are captured by a group of exes who use humans as a labor pool. Amy doesn't know who to trust, and doesn't know if she's going crazy, but she's determined to survive at all costs.
"Frail" by Joan Frances Turner is a new twist on the zombie genre. It's extremely dark and convoluted at times, laying the groundwork for a series that promises to be different. This novel was hard to follow sometimes, with Amy being a difficult character to like at times. "Frail" is one of the oddest and strangest zombie books I've read. This wasn't my favorite read, way too depressing and not any humor.
