She wants her to marry for money and climb the social ladder however, Nora cares more about about history and educating herself. This new world is called New Victoria and Nora, essentially an orphan, lives with her aunt who runs a tight ship. Imagine a world in the future where although it may be technologically advanced, society is more like it was in the Victorian Era with a class system, fancy balls, tea parties, strict rules and strict etiquette. In Dearly, Departed, romance meets walking-dead thriller, spawning a madly imaginative novel of rip-roaring adventure, spine-tingling suspense, and macabre comedy that forever redefines the concept of undying love." But until then, beating or not, their hearts will have what they desire. Eventually, they know, the disease will win, separating the star-crossed lovers forever. And when his bond of trust with Nora turns to tenderness, there’s no turning back. But as is the case with the rest of his special undead unit, luck and modern science have enabled Bram to hold on to his mind, his manners, and his body parts.
Then Nora meets Bram Griswold, a young soldier who is brave, handsome, noble. Catapulted from her world of drawing-room civility, she’s suddenly gunning down ravenous zombies alongside mysterious black-clad commandos and confronting “The Laz,” a fatal virus that raises the dead-and hell along with them.
But fate is just getting started with Nora. For Nora, no fate could be more horrible-until she’s nearly kidnapped by an army of walking corpses.
But after her beloved parents die, Nora is left at the mercy of her domineering aunt, a social-climbing spendthrift who has squandered the family fortune and now plans to marry her niece off for money. A teenager in high society, Nora Dearly is far more interested in military history and her country’s political unrest than in tea parties and debutante balls.
The place is New Victoria-a high-tech nation modeled on the manners, mores, and fashions of an antique era. But can Cupid’s arrow pierce the hearts of the living and the dead-or rather, the undead ? Can a proper young Victorian lady find true love in the arms of a dashing zombie? The year is 2195. Goodreads says, " Love conquers all, so they say.
