Book Review: My Life as a White Trash Zombie by Diana Rowland

---

My Review: 

Really enjoyed this one. Wish there wasn’t so much of God’s name in vain (or that it was capitalized in the least), but it kept me reading and I really liked it a lot. This breed of zombies is unique and I actually really love the mc. She’s a breath of fresh air, and I’m SO proud of her later in the book. Sure, it took dying to turn a new leaf, but she still did it. I can’t wait for the next book.

I loved seeing the name Zeke the Zombie because that's the main character of my own book. But moving on...

I love the way this is written. The pacing and the descriptions are great. It reminds me a LOT of iZombie (one of my favorite series), with a lot less detective stuff. The book isn't actually that gorey or bloody, which is something you'd expect with zombie books--but I'm not complaining. I think it was well done, and I really enjoyed Angel's voice.

Also. I think it’s funny that people are complaining about how gross zombies are… for a book about zombies. What… what did you expect?

Summary: 

Angel Crawford is a Loser.

Living with her alcoholic deadbeat dad in the swamps of southern Louisiana, she's a high school dropout with a pill habit and a criminal record who's been fired from more crap jobs than she can count. Now on probation for a felony, it seems that Angel will never pull herself out of the downward spiral her life has taken.

That is, until the day she wakes up in the ER after overdosing on painkillers. Angel remembers being in a horrible car crash, but she doesn't have a mark on her. To add to the weirdness, she receives an anonymous letter telling her there's a job waiting for her at the county morgue—and that it's an offer she doesn't dare refuse.

Before she knows it she's dealing wth a huge crush on a certain hunky deputy and a brand new addiction: an overpowering craving for brains. Plus, her morgue is filling up with the victims of a serial killer who decapitates his prey—just when she's hungriest!

Angel's going to have to grow up fast if she wants to keep this job and stay in one piece. Because if she doesn't, she's dead meat.

Literally.
