Publisher's summary

A heartwarming tale of terror in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. Meet Sarah and David. Once upon a time, they met and fell in love. But now they’re on the verge of divorce and going to couples’ counseling.

On a routine trip to their counselor, they notice a few odd things: the lack of cars on the highway, the missing security guard, and the fact that their counselor, Dr. Kelly, is ripping out her previous client’s throat. Meet the zombies.

Now Sarah and David are fighting for survival in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. But just because there are zombies, doesn’t mean your other problems go away. If the zombies don’t eat their brains, they might just kill each other.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of zombie-themed stories out there. But which ones are the very best? And which zombie audiobooks will have you double-checking the locks and sleeping with a baseball bat next to your bed?

Funny!

This series is one of my favorites, it's great for listening to while commuting.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sarah--you have to respect someone who can kill a zombie with a toilet seat.

Haven't listened to Cassandra Campell before--she does a great job.

Zombies Save Marriages

This is a fun, fast-paced book. It's is definitely humorous, rather than romantic. If you like dystopian stories and comedies, this book is for you!

Fun, quick read (or listen)

Enjoyed this book. I have been on a Zombie kick over the last six months and have read more zombie books than most. This is not the best, and certainly not the worst. A fun, quick and worthwhile read.

Enjoyable

Sometimes books about the SHTF and zombie apocalypse are incredibly dark and depressing, but this is a very enjoyable book. Despite the dark subject matter at the end of the story I felt optimistic and have already downloaded the next book in the series. Well done!

Good read for zombie fans

I really enjoyed this zombie book. It has lighthearted zombie action and good humor with some gore thrown in. A couple try to work through their marital problems while trying to stay alive at the same time. Funny and interesting take on zombies. It would make a good series.

I enjoyed the heck out of it!

Would you listen to Married with Zombies again? Why?

I really liked the premise of this book. I love that the main characters are a struggling couple who don't have it all together. It made me laugh when they discover their marriage therapist eating the couple who keeps the weekly appointment before them, and who, incidentally, they can't stand. Despite the zombie mayhem, this book made me often laugh out loud. I can't wait to get the next in the series.

What did you like best about this story?

The humor coupled with zombie destruction.

What does Cassandra Campbell bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She did a great job reading the story and really brings the characters to life.

Light, fun reading. A bit repetitive though.

The premise is funny. The dialogue is of course totally unrealistic. This book would have benefited from an editor that made it even shorter--it gets rather repetitive as the premise gets stretched out...

Not worth a credit

I’m not sure why this book has so many good reviews. It was mediocre at best, every part was predictable, and the husband David was a complete moron. Who wants to go into a casino during a zombie apocalypse?! What a bonehead.

Anyway, it was boring and not at all funny (at all!). So yeah… you’ve been warned. If you want a different kind of zombie series that will make you laugh out loud, try The White Trash Zombie series by Diana Rowland.
