FROST, by M.P. Kozlowsky

The story: Frost has never stepped a foot outside her building. Why should she? New York lies in ruins, overrun by robots and the zombie cannibals known as Eaters. It's only when her last living companion, her pet broot Romes, becomes dangerously ill that she decides to risk it. She will find evil robots, answers to questions, help in unexpected places, solutions to old mysteries, and maybe even love--but will she be able to save Romes?

Liz's comments: I probably would have liked this a lot better ten years ago. As it is, I'm pretty done with dystopia, even one that juxtaposes robots and zombies. The fact that (spoiler alert) Frost herself is a very human looking, acting, and feeling robot is a last-minute reveal, which leads one to believe that a sequel is de rigeur. Of course.
