From Goodreads:
Ashton "Frosty" Martin is both elated and despondent when his dead girlfriend Kat comes back as a Witness just like Ali Bell's sister Emma (who has helped Ali and friends throughout the series).
Kat has a task for Frosty - help a fellow slayer and save him before it is too late. When Frosty gets to the place Kat directed him, he indeed finds a slayer - the disgraced Milla Marks, sister of neighbouring zombie crew leader River Marks - and the girl who betrayed the slayers to Anima Industries and caused Kat's death.
Milla is the last person on Earth Frosty wants to help or have anything at all to do with. But although she's been banished from her home crew, Milla has learned that Anima has more tricks up their sleeves, and they've found a way to reverse or hinder Ali Bell's new zombie-saving ability
Anima is still out to find the cure for death and use the zombies to create an immortality serum. And Frosty, Milla, Ali, Cole and all their friends are about to be collateral damage again–unless they can find a way to work together and rebuild trust.
It won't be easy. But Frosty never liked doing anything the easy way.

A Mad Zombie Party has been sat unread on my shelf for years. I absolutely loved the first three books in this series and read them as they released but the end of the third book killed me... I was so heartbroken over the death of Kat that I just never picked this one up. I finally decided to pick it up as part of my 2020 Series Catch Up Challenge. I am so glad I finally picked this one up as I did truly love it.
Frosty was never one of my favourite characters in the previous three books... he was just kind of there and I liked him okay but I never thought of him really as a key player. That completely changed in A Mad Zombie Party. I absolutely loved Frosty right from the get go and my heart completely broke for him. One of the things that I loved most about this book was that Frosty really went through a journey throughout this book. You see him go from heartbroken unable to go on, to starting to heal and eventually to thriving in his new post-Kat life.
Right from the start I was completely hooked to this series again. I remember everything from the other books and it reminded me just how much I loved this series. It's an amazing dystopia-eske retelling of Alice in Wonderland and it will always be one of my favourite series. Gena Showalter is such a fantastic author and I can't wait to try some of her other works in the future. She did an incredible job of completely gripping me from the start and I just flew through this book as I just couldn't put it down.
A Mad Zombie Party was a perfect ending to a fantastic series. I love how it was left slightly open ended so there is the potential that there could be another book in the future. I would absolutely love another book. If you're a lover of anything dystopia or Alice in Wonderland then I highly recommend this series. You won't be disappointed.
