My Review of AlibiZ
AlibiZ is powerful sequels to the action packed RecruitZ, and trust me the action did not stop with RecruitZ. The discoveries at the end of RecruitZ had me dying to read AlibiZ and it did not disappoint. The is action around every corner, and new revelations made just about as often. There is so much packed into AlibiZ and yet I still feel like I need more. That is a beauty of Karice Bolton’s writing, there is always a need for more story. The story no matter how action packed or shoved full of details never feels overstuffed or complicated. 

Rebekah has really grow since I first met her at the beginning of RecruitZ and she really takes on a leadership role in AlibiZ. After all the revelations of RecruitZ, her mission has shifted from just her own tragedy to saving the Afterworld from the corruption and evil that has seemed to grow in the wake of the outbreak. She obviously cannot do this alone, and Preston and her friends are right there besides her trying to take back their world. 

I always like the friendship and potential relationship between Rebekah and Preston, and AlibiZ has me rooting for them even more. I like the little bright spots of their jokes and flirtations in the middle of some of the dark incidents going on around them. I think Preston is a good influence on Rebekah and keeps her from retreating to far into her own head. 

While some of the questions I had from RecruitZ were answered, so many more were created, especially in the last few pages on AlibiZ. I guess I will just be impatiently waiting for Karice to work her magic and release UprisingZ . If the title is any indication, it is going to be even more action packed.
