Angel Crawford has buried her loser past and is cruising along in undead high gear--that is, until a murder-by-decapitation sends her on a hazardous detour. As Angel hunts for the killer, she uncovers a scheme that would expose zombies to the public and destroy the life she's built, and she's determined not to rest until she finds out who's behind it.
Soon she's neck-deep in lies, redneck intrigue, zombie hunters, and rot-sniffing cadaver dogs. It's up to her to unravel the truth and snuff out the conspiracy before the existence of zombies makes headline news and she's outed as a monster.
But Angel hasn't quite escaped the pill-popping ghosts of her past--not with an illicit zombie pharmaceutical at her fingertips. Good thing she's absolutely sure she can handle the drug's unpredictable side effects and still take down the bad guys...or maybe she's only one bad choice away from being dead meat--for real this time.
My thoughts:
I should check the review of book 4, but I remember being disappointed (with book 3 too?) I just remember this feeling of maybe calling it quits. But here Angel is back on top and being awesome!
Zombiefest is coming to town! Time to party.
She has her hands full as always. With school, with her job at the coroner's office, with her other job at the secret lab for zombies (where she got addicted to a new drug). That last being bad. Oh and there is a murder to solve. And are zombies about to get exposed?
Marcus seems to be out of the picture. Why is she hanging out with her looser ex? I like that her dad is nice again though.
Conclusion:
Action, a bit of rotting and zombie drama. I enjoyed it.

Zombies are definitely not my thing, they terrify me, but since this is clearly a humorous series, it think it would work much better for me!
ReplyDeleteOh me too! I get nightmares, but she is fun
DeleteKuddos to you pushing through even though the last couple have been meh.
ReplyDeleteI had hope
DeleteThat's great! It's rare that a series rebounds.
ReplyDeleteKaren @For What It's Worth
I hope it continues
DeleteMe too :D
ReplyDeletereview twins.
ReplyDeleteHihi so funny
DeleteGood to hear that it was enjoyable again
ReplyDeleteI bought the whole series for my library. For the readers, of course, and for the exhibition about zombies coming this fall, absolutely - not for me ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Yes yes only for the readers
DeleteI should check when the next one is due, might take a while
ReplyDeleteoh I have been curious about this one...and I like that it has a lighter tone to the whole Zombie theme.
ReplyDeleteIt does make it more fun
DeleteAlthough I enjoyed first two books I didn't read 3rd book and I'm not sure I'll read this one. :(
ReplyDeleteI hear ya! :/
DeleteAlmost Friday!!!!
ReplyDeleteWOOOOT
DeleteI didn't like that she was hanging out with her looser ex either. I thought this one was better than the previous one too.

There was a bump in the road and it made it over.
DeleteBut the ex, whyyyyyy
Oh I didn't know you read this series. It's one that I'd like to start, but it's hard finding the time for another series. Though, I do remember first learning of this latest book and thinking, "Whoa, that's some trippy cover there!"

I started it cos I liked her demon series, but I do prefer her demon one :)
DeleteJust read Kimberly's review and now yours. Glad it was a comeback of goodness for you. I need to start this series soon-ish.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you find the time
DeleteI'm really curious about this series. I like the freaky covers!
ReplyDeleteDos Santos is so good
DeleteI just can't bring myself to read these books. The covers creep me out too much.
ReplyDeleteBut they are sooo good...and creepy
DeleteMayyyybeeee :)
ReplyDeletePerhaps one of the weirdest story arches and covers I've ever encountered in a while. Lol.
ReplyDeleteLOL
DeleteIt's always such a relief when you give a series a second chance and it turns out to be worth it. Angel sounds hilarious!
ReplyDeleteIt was still a nice previous book, but yeah it lacked that awesomeness
