White Trash Zombie Apocalypse
graydawn says:
Traditional urban fantasy with kick-ass heroine, written in 1st-person. The variant is she's a zombie, although these "zombies" retain their intelligence (which makes them more like the more usual UF vampires: really strong, hard to kill and quick to heal, except instead of blood they need to feed on brains.)I picked this particular book upon sale because it looked like fun. I was, however, not aware was the 3rd book in the series. I don't think that was a big obstacle, because although there were a number of references to previous events and how some of the characters were involved in those, the exposition is adequate to catch up with the story.The plot involves a evil conspiracy and a flood, and the zombie heroine acquits herself with more energy and smarts than one normally associates with "white trash". The story is lighter on romance than the usual urban fantasy. The writing is smooth and workmanlike.It's not a bad book, but there's nothing really special to distingu...ish it from any of the other urban fantasy available.

Angel Crawford is back, making progress with her "becoming a Zombie gave me a second chance" life.She overcomes natural disasters, sinister plots and fiendish new weapons in a spirited romp through the consequences of being a new zombie with the talent and courage to do something about the bigger picture.There was enough new in this book to add interest (zombie research labs - run by zombies? Movie zombies who may not actually be faking it) and enough that was familiar (Angel's witty if uncouth mouth, humour around the need for "BRAAAINS", and a continuing sense that there is still a great deal more to learn) to make the book a satisfying read.Two things made the book a little less satisfying than its predecessors: the plotting and time-line are not as tight and Allison McLemore, who normally does a superb job performing the White Trash Zombie novels, read the last two-thirds of the book with a cold. She did a great job in the circumstance but I wish Audible had let her come back when she had recovered - I kept wanting to hand her a tissue.I'm still a fan and I'm looking forward to book four: "How The White Trash Zombie Got Her Groove Back." I just hope that Allison McLemore is cold-free this time.MoreLess
