Excerpt
Blurb:
Seattle. One minute you’re drinking a vanilla breve, the next, some creepy old dude is breathing on you, turning you into a zombie. And that’s just for starters. Now, the recently deceased Amanda Feral is trying to make her way through Seattle’s undead scene with style (mortuary-grade makeup, six-inch stilettos, Balenciaga handbag on sale) while satisfying her craving for human flesh (Don’t judge. And no, not like chicken.) and decent vodkatinis.
Making her way through a dangerous world of cloud-doped bloodsuckers, reapers, horny and horned devils, werewolves, celebrities, and PR-obsessed shapeshifters—not to mention an extremely hot bartender named Ricardo—isn’t easy. And the minute one of Amanda’s undead friends disappears after texting the word, “help” (The undead—so dramatic!) she knows the afterlife is about to get really ugly.
Something sinister is at hand. Someone or something is hellbent on turning Seattle’s undead underworld into a place of true terror. And this time, Amanda may meet a fate a lot worse than death…
Ok, I've been putting so many links on this novel into my "Other Debut Coverage" sidebar that I practically feel like I've read it. It looks clever and amusing, although dark fantasy isn't my thing. I know Raven would probably like it, as would Kimberly and Scooper.

Yeah, this one sounds like it could be fun.
Everyone seems to be covering this book, but it definitely deserves it!
I'll have to see what others say. Death just isn't funny to me and funny zombies....it worked in Shaun of the dead but....
I'm just not into the dark stuff. I probably have the same sort of attitude toward it that you have, Carole.
Thanks Tia, I did enjoy it! :)
I've heard about it, but I don't know how I feel about zombie heroines. Maybe this is the perfect book to find out. I don't know.
