Publisher's summary

Angel Crawford is finally starting to get used to life as a brain-eating zombie, but her problems are far from over. Her felony record is coming back to haunt her, more zombie hunters are popping up, and she’s beginning to wonder if her hunky cop-boyfriend is involved with the zombie mafia. Yeah, that’s right—the zombie mafia. Throw in a secret lab and a lot of conspiracy, and Angel’s going to need all of her brainpower—and maybe a brain smoothie as well—in order to get through it without falling apart.

Another great book!

What did you love best about Even White Trash Zombies Get the Blues?

How emotion provoking it is. I felt like my girlfriend was telling me this story about her own life because I was reaction that way emotionally!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Angel will always be my favorite!

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

She makes this story with her voice and inflection! She has one of the BEST voices I have ever heard and I could just listen to her talk all day long!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did. It made me go through the emotional spectrum! I was doing yard work and listening to this book and I swear my neighbors probably thought I was crazy watching me react to this book!

Fun

This is such a fun series. Just enough mystery to keep it fresh. The narrator does a really good job of southern accent she will fool most non native. I for one will continue to listen to this collection even though they are not in my usual genre. Fun fun fun.

Love This Series

I love mysteries, and I love zombies...this is a brilliant combination of the two! I have recommended this series to a lot of people.

Second time through

This is my second read through and I love it even more the second time around. When these first came out I read them and going through them again with a voice and a voice I might add that fits Angel so well is just so delightful.

"Hello, my name is Angel...I'll be your zombie..."

"Hello, my names is Angel and I will be your zombie today."

Even White Trash Zombies Get the Blues by Diana Rowland, progresses right where My Life as a White Trash Zombie leaves off. And yes, I suggest listening to the series in order, otherwise the listener will be completely lost. Angel is back, working as a driver for the parish morgue and has adjusted to her life as a member of the walking undead rather nicely. However, her luck takes a turn for the worse when she loses the body she picks up from a recent crime scene. Desperate for answers, she much search for clues as to why, and stop her troubled past from coming back to bite her and putting her much needed job in jeopardy. Angel is witty, funny and real. I found myself actually laughing out loud and listening way past my bed time, on several occasions.

I read the eBook version of the first White Trash Zombie novel, but decided to give the audiobook a try for the second. I'm so glad I did. I loved how the narrator performed the story so much, I went back and picked up the first book on audio as well. Allison McLemore is simply wonderful and portrays Angel's laid back, sarcastic attitude to a tee, making her all the more lovable. So much so, she is on my short list of favorite female book leads.

Worthy follow-up to My Life as a White Trash Zombi

Any additional comments?

This second book in Rowland’s zombie series is a worthy follow-up to “My Life as a White Trash Zombie.” The protagonist is a young girl who has dropped out of high school and been convicted of driving a stolen car, but now is trying to get her life on track. You’ll read the book because you like zombies but you’ll appreciate its realistic depiction of the struggles of growing up. The heroine takes care of herself without needing to cling to a boyfriend, which I found really refreshing. There is a lot of swearing, particularly the F word, which didn’t bother me, but would be the only thing that would stop me from giving it an unqualified recommendation as a good read for teenaged girls. [I listened to this as an audio book performed by Allison McLemore, who did an excellent job].

Great!

I love zombie fiction and this series is a great one. Different than the zom poc we all know and love but still great. Very funny and still serious enough to make for a great series.

Great Series!

I have listened to all 3 of the White Trash Zombie books and totally enjoyed them all. Great characters, interesting storylines, and awesome narration by Allison McLemore. I was happy to read on Ms. Rowland's blog that there will be 3 more books in this series. I'm only sorry I'll have to wait for her to write and publish them. :)

I'm addicted !!!

100% Addicted to The White Trash Zombie Book Series!!!! Can't stop !!!! Absolutely Love it!!!!

Angel keeps getting better!

After book one, I was hooked. I enjoy Allison's narration and when she talks as Angel, just not so much when she is being one of the characters that populate this alt reality world. She almost sounds like Mr. Roboto in a few instances.

All that aside, this is a very strong entry in the series that became one of my top ten for 2013 (that I listened to or read, it has nothing to do with whenever the actual release date may have been).

One thing that always fascinates me is how a writer can weave a web in a "whodunnit" sort of tale. Rowland does excellent in this regard.

While I am not a fan of cognizant zombies or the whole "brains" thing that began when "Return of the Lic=ving Dead" hit the screens...it works here and makes for a fun time.

Off to get book three!
