Angel is a not stop go go brain muncher in this edition. I really enjoyed the fast paced edge of my seat constant danger and destruction mode she stayed in for most of the book.
Points that made this a winner
1) Angel is growing up, acting more mature, taking responsibility
2) She goes to the dark side, for survival but is not squeaky clean
3) Her love life muddles, I love a messy heart
4) She is not the docile doormat little zombie woman- YES!
5) She knows when a good bite matters. LOL- you'll get this towards the end of the book.
I devoured this in less than 24 hours, while pretending to work, feed my family, and sleep. I liked it. :D

I must say that this was one of my favourite covers, it looks really awesome. Angel, bullet holes, her (or someone's) house tilted, and no pants(?). It just perfectly fits the book.

This book was awesome, it didn't have much action (only a few bits here and there), but a lot of stuff is revealed, answers are given, and ok we also got some new questions.

I really didn't like Philip in the beginning and also at the end of book 2, but luckily that changes and at the end, I was crying a bit. Poor Philip. No one deserves to go through so much crap.

I also loved the whole movie/zombie movie thing and how everything turned out to be related to the movie and all.

Overall, another wonderful, amazing book! I will be sure to buy all 3 of them for my collection, and I am really hoping there will be more of Angel, more of the zombies and more of everything! Please a book 4 or 5 or 6!

Took me far too long to read Angel's next adventure in her new zombie life.

The last books events trickle into this one while Angel deals with typical issues a person has along with the worry of being kidnapped again. All she wants is to get her GED, make something of herself, and have some sort of relationship with her dad. Which has sort of all been happening...besides dealing with undead crap.

my least favorite of the series to the point where I'm kinda thinking I'm dropping it unless I find rave reviews for the next book

Once again Angel is back and it seems that as she keeps trying to get further ahead in her new chance at life, be it zombified or whatever, things keep conspiring to push her back and cause her problems. I can’t promise no spoilers if you haven’t read the first two yet, so be cautious as you read on!

The Big Bad in this one is kind of new, but as with the last book, we have some of the bad guys who show up once again. And once again there may be some possible switching of sides, which we may not know about. First Angel almost gets hit by a truck at the local high school where they’re filming a zombie movie. She’s saved by the zombie she was forced to make in the last book, Phillip. So it seems like maybe he’s not a bad guy? But that opinion doesn’t last long when he is part of some other events that make him out to be still an enemy.

The doctor that was so evil in the last book is also back, maybe working for the bad guys this time. Angel is still having to deal with her boyfriend/zombie daddy Marcus’s often overbearing overprotectiveness, as well as his condescension at times. Her father is also a wild card, she can’t quite tell if he’s really working on not getting drunk all the time, and his attitude at times doesn’t make it seem he is. Fortunately Marcus’s uncle Pietro seems to be more someone that Angel can count on.

And it’s not only the bad guys she knows, but a new family and maybe a spy, as well as mother nature taking a swipe at Angel’s life as well. I enjoyed this one for sure, and am looking forward to seeing just what happens in the next book between the latest villains and how the people closest to Angel say they are working on things, and if they’ll actually do that.

About: There’s a zombie movie getting filmed in Angel’s neighborhood, and she joked a time or two with those aware of her condition, that it’d be fun to see if she could mix in among the fake ones after a couple days of starving. But someone beat her to it, and it wasn’t even funny! You see, the project Zoldier (like Soldier but Zombie) is still on, someone still experiments with the undead, with zombies. One of them lost his mind during a performance, and jumped to find himself a new one. Like Angel didn’t have enough on her plate, what with the flooding that threatens to destroy her home where she lives with her father, and the arguments she has with her boyfriend, and her ever re-appearing baby-zombie, the man she turned into one. Not to mention the creepy lady who keeps snapping pictures of her for some reason.

Mine: There’s so many moments of “who are you working for?!” that even Batman would be proud (points if you know what I’m referring to). Everyone’s a double agent too, it only seems they work for who they seem to be working for, what. I still think that Zoldiers was a dumb idea to start with, even if they, say, had basis to think there’s means to make fake brains, and keep off hunger, you still have soldiers who need buckets of food just to do the standard soldier stuff. I mean, there’s a great reason we have pig farms, not zebra, for instance. The parasite that makes zombie a zombie doesn’t give a damn about your goals, it just cares to keep you fixed and steady. The best part of the book was flooding. And that should tell you everything.

Angel really is the only thing that keeps me going with these series. I cannot give this book more than 3 out of 5 right now.

Honestly, this series is weird, but so is any series with a zombie as the lead character. A zombie that will rot and start eating people's brain if she does not get her supply of brains. Pretty gross actually.

But Angel is so nice, she wants to turn her life around. She has a nice boyfriend. She is a bit too curious but overall she is pretty great.

Why go on and on. Movie being filmed about zombies. Angel is in trouble. ZOmbie mafia vs the evil ones. Smooching. Brain smoothies.

A fun series that I would recommend. I did it! Short for once.
