Helpful Score: 4

If I were to compare this book to anything it would definitely be, Sex in the City with Zombies. Our leading lady Amanda Feral is so self-absorbed you cant help but laugh at and with her. The plot circles around a group of friends including several zombies, a gay vampire, and a succubus. All of which are just as vain as Amanda Feral is.

The book is full of gore and violence, which I loved. Its not often in the Urban Fantasy/Paranormal genres that I actually think GROSS/AWESOME at the same time. If you have a weak stomach beware!

There are about 130 footnotes, but dont let that turn you off. Sometimes they are worth losing your spot over, but other times not worth glancing away from the brilliant narrative. Not only do you have some hilarious footnotes, but you get drink recipes and music playlist from the club of the evening.

Sometimes I felt that the plot was forgotten, and those were the better parts of the book for me. The plot isnt what pulled me in and made me want to read. It was the situations that the characters get themselves into, and the people they meet along the way. All of this while learning how to be a zombie.

Pick it up if you want a good laugh for a few hours! Dont expect to be wowed by the actual plot though.
