Teenage delinquent Angel Crawford lives with her redneck father in the swamps of southern Louisiana. She's a high school dropout, addicted to drugs and alcohol, and has a police record a mile long.

Critic reviews

"Allison McLemore's delicate voice and Southern accent give Angel's first-person narration a humorous kick. McLemore excels at bringing Angel's self-deprecating and sarcastic comments to life. Her brisk pacing suits Angel's personality and draws listeners in from the first chapter, keeping them glued to their earphones as she plays up the book's 'gross factor' with drawling descriptions of gooey brains and crunchy skull cavities. She's also good at giving unique voices and mannerisms to secondary characters." ( AudioFile)

awesome!

it's a great read. the narrator made the story believable. if zombies did exist. Lol I'm definitely going to read more of the series.

I was surprised

This book was much better than I expected and I've already purchased the next one.

cute story

Very fast listen. great performance. Don't put it on speaker in the presence of children.

Most Awesome Zombie B!7@#

If you have not yet picked this book up, you should! You don't even have to like zombies to love this book! There is some strong language, adult topics, and some violence, but mostly it's the story! Perfect vocalist for this, too. she does it all almost too perfectly!
Makes me laugh, makes sad, sometimes makes me angry, but usually only for the character rarely AT!

Very entertaining

This book was a joy to listen to. At first it seemed like a rip-off of iZombie but it then went in a different direction. Angel’s transformation from an individual who had little self-worth to a strong, independent person was worth the read.

Brains...Brains!

For Angel Crawford death is the best thing that ever happened. I bought this book to take a break from the last few Sookie Stackhouse books and I'm so glad I did. Angel is a unique character with great voice throughout the whole story- tough, trashy and underneath it all kind and determined. The mystery of the zombie killer is not anything new or too thrilling but it was an interesting plot element while Angel got familiar with her new...life. It's also great to get a new supernatural perspective from a creature other than a vampire or werewolf. Even if that point of view can be more than a little disgusting, I think it's part of the fun of the book.The narration is excellent too, on a par with Johanna Parker of the Sookie Stackhouse books.

Bottom line- this book left me smiling at the end and I'll be happy to spend credits on the rest of the series.

Fast, fun read

Liked that the world building and zombie aspects don't totally weigh down the pace of the story.
Liked that MC is "poor white trash" but also very relate-able and sympathetic (i.e. we are not reading her story to laugh at / be amazed by her antics, all the while knowing we are totally superior to her),

Entertaining

I enjoyed how the story progressed, dealt with some trauma events and fleshed out characters. A fun twist to the urban zombie genre.

Omg

This book was absolutely amazing! The descriptive words took me into a world of my own, being able to picture everything I listened to. reading this book was the best choice I'd ever made!

A great narration of an entertaining story

This book is extremely funny and is a refreshing break from the usual vampires, werewolves, and witches. Allison McLemore does a great job of bringing the characters to life and she delivers the lines beautifully.
