robinmy avatar reviewed on + 2109 more book reviews


After the success of her New York travel guide for the undead, Zoe Norris' boss asks her to pick some of the writing staff and work on a new travel guide to New Orleans. Zoe is excited by the challenge, but her excitement wanes when she finds out that her boyfriend Arthur was bitten by a zombie and his medicine is gone. With only days until he turns into a zombie, they need to find a cure fast. Someone in the Louisiana swamps is supposed to know a cure, so Arthur tags along on the trip to New Orleans. Meanwhile, Zoe is having problems with her Coterie staff and must use her new-found powers to fight a vengeful God.

The second book in the Shambling Guides series doesn't have the humor or the first. The story also seemed to drag on and on. The audiobook was narrated by the author. It was very much a straight read since she didn't use different voices for the characters. My rating: 2 Stars.
