Audie Award Nominee, Paranormal, 2013

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. But when she's made into a zombie after a car crash, her addictions disappear, except for her all-consuming need to stay "alive".

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)

Entertaining!

What did you love best about My Life as a White Trash Zombie?

The characters are very interesting and quite funny. It is a great new take on the Zombie scene. Beware if you are sensitive to profanity because Angel swears like a sailor, however, I felt it did not detract from the story at all and actually added to it.

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

The narrator is actually very good and her accent lends a realistic voice to the characters in the story.

What did you love best about My Life as a White Trash Zombie?

The dialogue and how Angel talked was hilarious, great southern euphemisms and hilarity that made being a white trash loser fun and entertaining. She is raw and kind and full of life. She may be the undead but this story sure is not

very lighthearted and a great read for a long drive keeps you entertained without having to worry about getting lost in the story. I loved all of the books in this series so far.

Not Bad

With the exception of all the swearing and the implied sex-scene (Just one) at the end of the book, it seem more like a Teen rehab book to me. Although it kept my interest, I didn't feel an ounce of suspense. Nothing at the end of the chapter that compels me to get the next book. I am not sure it is worthy of 4 stars, but didn't want to give it 3.

...

Not what I expected; excited for more to come.

I admit, I haven't read many zombie novels. I mean what's to know about zombies? They have no minds, right? They're dead, right? Wrong. I really enjoyed this author's imagining of zombies. I find I have a vested interest in the characters in the book as they are well developed. I appreciate the fact the Angel is given a chance to make something of her life, all-be-it after her 'death.' This book addresses some sensitive topics, such as domestic violence and the cycle that victims can get trapped in. I appreciate how Angel is showing what a strong woman she is becoming, and how she is straightening out her life and her ability to understand others' psychology because of her own background. Angel is doing a good job of exerting her own humanity over her zombie tendencies, and exerting her conscience as best she can over her zombie desires.
I look forward to listening to her continued exploits and am eager to see where her adventures will lead her next....
