Synopsis: A spring break trip on a cruise presents a new
problem for Sylva. Passengers on the ship turn into flesh-eating zombies,
unlike the harmless ones she's used to raising from the dead. She and her
friends are trapped on the Pacific Ocean, and their only escape comes from a
guy Sylva had a crush on she thought was dead, named Brandon. Sylva doesn't
normally hold grudges, but when someone plays with her heart they have to pay.
However, with the fate of the human race on the line, Brandon convinces Sylva
to join him in a secret mission, yet she can't shake the feeling that he's
hiding something.
It didn't take long for her suspicions to hold true when it's revealed that Brandon has been romantically involved with the very enemy he now wants her to destroy. This villainous female would rather kill Brandon than let Sylva have a chance to patch things up between them. Sylva is not the kind of girl to walk away from love without a fight, but with a strange virus threatening extinction of human life, she shoves her own feelings in her back pocket to face her greatest nightmare, and that nightmare starts with something that is eerily growing right inside of her own mind and body.

My Review: This not my usual type of story this was almost to different for me. The Confession of Sylva Slasher was gory. I f you like the zombie Apocalypse with some gore and the end of the world as we know it then have I got the book for you! Sylva will take you on an adventure with the likes of things never have been seen before and likely never to be seen again. This story will leave with your head spinning and you barely hanging on to the edge of your seat. I completely sure that I knew how this story would play out and end.I could not have been more wrong. I don't know if I will be reading anymore about Sylva Slasher as she just wasn't my type. But , for all you horror story zombie loving world coming to an end people out there I highly recommend this book to you!
4/5

About the Author:
Ace
Antonio-Hall was first published in 1998 in an Adelphi University
publication called Luna, with a short story titled “1936.” After
earning his BFA degree from Long Island University, he taught
middle-school English for over ten years.
He now lives in southern California, and was the Vice President of the Greater Los Angeles Writers Society (2009-2011), and still holds an executive position in the organization which gives him a huge platform to market, sell, and promote his work through the many conferences, meetings and book fairs that GLAWS holds each month. He is also a member of LASFS and the International Thriller Writers.
His first novel, a coming-of-age YA zombie story, The Confessions of Sylva Slasher, was released April 2013 by Montag Press. It is part of a series with the next book Skateboard Xombies, expected for release early next year.
About the writing life, he says: “I harmlessly dream in Technicolor nightmares, watch a ton of horror flicks, eat more donuts than I should, and refuse to stop reading Spider-Man. All of those combined give me a sweet tooth to write about the suite life of zombies.”
Ace's true labor of love is writing fast-paced fiction with character-driven plots featuring female protagonists. He continues to write short stories and build on the world of teen necromancer Sylva Slasher as she reigns as Princess of the Undead.
