I’m generally not a fan of zombie lit, nor do I generally prefer my monsters to be anything other than horrifying, but when I read the first book of this series for Halloween Bingo last year, I fell in love. The titular zombie, Angel, is the perfect heroine: sassy and feisty and fiercely independent, but also vulnerable and even tenderly caring at times. In this third book of the series, she is still learning to navigate her new place in the world as both newbie zombie in a hidden zombie society and as a newly semi-respectable, drug-free, contributing member of society with “the Normals”. She’s trying to figure out how to have a healthy, functioning romantic relationship. In one really sweet and sad moment, she is delighted and amazed that she actually has real friends who would show up at her party. But there is plenty of action with a budding war between the zombie mobsters and a defense contractor trying to develop the means to control and weaponize zombies.

Audiobook, via Audible. Alison McLemore’s narration is still absolutely perfect.

I read this book for the Booklikes Halloween Bingo 2019, for the square Dead Lands: Elements of the undead - zombies, wights, vampires and other revenants. This story is chock-full of zombies, of course!

Thoroughly enjoying this 3rd book in the White Trash Zombie series. Angel is one of my favorite fictional characters. 

On the ereaders and ready to go for April!

And I'm kidding myself even planning a TBR because no telling what I'll wind up reading or how many.

I don't have a Twitter account, but I saw this and thought it sounded fun. I have a genius doctor with occasional debilitating headaches and tinnitus (from a Korean show called Quiz from God), a con man (from Terry Pratchett's Going Postal), and a coffeehouse manager (from Cleo Coyle's On What Grounds). If the con man and doctor can help us talk our way into a safe place before we get overrun by zombies, we might be fine. Unfortunately, the coffeehouse manager and I would be utterly useless.

What about the rest of you?

Some people say civilisation after a zombie apocalypse will go back to The Stone Age. Nobody tidies up or collects the bins.

The electricity keeps going off.

There are dead bodies piled up in the streets.

It is actually more like the 1970s.

I guess, I'm just not the right audience for this book. Or really any book about zombies.
