Angel is back again!
White Trash Zombie Apocalypse - Diana Rowland

I must say that this was one of my favourite covers, it looks really awesome. Angel, bullet holes, her (or someone's) house tilted, and no pants(?). It just perfectly fits the book.

This book was awesome, it didn't have much action (only a few bits here and there), but a lot of stuff is revealed, answers are given, and ok we also got some new questions.

I really didn't like Philip in the beginning and also at the end of book 2, but luckily that changes and at the end, I was crying a bit. Poor Philip. No one deserves to go through so much crap.

I also loved the whole movie/zombie movie thing and how everything turned out to be related to the movie and all.

Overall, another wonderful, amazing book! I will be sure to buy all 3 of them for my collection, and I am really hoping there will be more of Angel, more of the zombies and more of everything! Please a book 4 or 5 or 6!

Conspiracies and Zombies.
Even White Trash Zombies Get the Blues - Diana Rowland

Not a long review, but a short what I thought about it.

I was kind of worried about this book, while the first book still left a whole lot open for more books, I wasn't sure if it would be ok or if I would like it.

It turns out, I didn't need to worry, the book was just awesomeness.
Angel is once again, a really kick-ass zombie. Marcus... well I wish he would stop being so worried and always making decisions for Angel. Angel doesn't need a babysitter, she just wants a cute boyfriend who she can trust and who trusts her in return.

It was also a very exciting book, lots happened, we got mafia, new zombies, conspiracies, death and so much more! I flew through this book, it was really an amazing ride, and unlike the first > second book, I couldn't wait to read the third one.

I will be sure to read the rest of the books too, whenever they come out, and I really hope many will still be written.

OMG! I am Zombie!
My Life as A White Trash Zombie - Diana Rowland

I recently read Married with Zombies, and was in for another zombie book like that. So naturally I went to my recommendations page and kindly asked for some more. And behold, some kind soul recommended me this one.

At first I was a bit sceptic, the cover turned me off a bit, and the whole White Trash, no. But I am happy I pushed through. It was a really riveting story. And so creative too.

Our main girl wakes up in the hospital, from apparent overdose. She gets a strange package with strange foods and various other things. Also a note about things and about a new job. And that is how Angel gets a job at the coroner office, she will be driving (and later dissecting) dead bodies to the morgue.

And from that point on things take a roller-coaster ride. She finds out she is a zombie. She meets all kinds of new people and much much more. It was all quite realistic, and I liked that while it was about zombies, it wasn't only about her being a zombie. No, it also featured a serial killer, her relationship with her boyfriend, her drugs use, and her often drunk and abusive father.

There is enough gore in this book, so be warned. Brains will really fly around, and the murders are quite gruesome. But all in all, you might dislike Angel at first, but believe me you will love her soon, you will be rooting for her and cheering for her.

And me? I will soon be reading book 2! Hoping and praying it will be just as good and won't suffer from second-book-in-series-syndrome. :)

Thanks my dear recommender for this awesome book!

Zombies and Bookstores
Allison Hewitt Is Trapped - Madeleine Roux

I bought this book, for the bookstore part. Yes, yes, I confess. But how many times do you find bookstore + zombies + camping in a bookstore in books? Well? Almost never.

The book starts at the bookstore, but as the weeks pass, we also go to other places. There are two groups of zombies (as said by Allison). You got Floaters (quiet) and Groaners (loud and you know they are coming). The book had some scary moments, also quite a bit of gore at some parts. I loved, loved Allison. She was quite kick-ass, and I loved the part where she dropped everything and went for some books, only to get into problems. :)

There is also some romance in the book, various heartbreaking scenes, but that gives a nice change from the zombies, the danger and the pain.

I loved the fact that it was all written like a blog, with comments added. I liked reading those comments (looked forward to it), to see how people were doing in other countries/part of the world. How the world just fell apart.

I really disliked the Black Earth wives, they were just disturbing and scary, and I felt sorry for Ned.

Overall, if you like a book with: Zombies (a lot), kick-ass main girl, some romance, lots of action, then this is your book and I would recommend it to you. :)

Sheepfarmer's Daughter
Sheepfarmer's Daughter - Elizabeth Moon

The main character in this novel, Paks, escapes an unwanted marriage agreement and joins a mercenary army. She kicks ass, but only after the appropriate amount of training.

 

The moral dilemma of Paks being in a mercenary army is postponed by the arrival of the evil Honeycat, who tortures and pillages and obviously must die. The fact that Paks kills people for money can be overlooked when you see that she kills the evil people. Process of elimination, right? ... Right?

 

I ultimately enjoyed this fantasy novel of magic, mass murder, and mercenary mayhem.

 

Please note that Elizabeth Moon is not afraid to kill characters.
