Dying for a Living by Kory M. Shrum

5.0

This book was a lovely surprise. I am extremely happy to have found it. I enjoy zombie books. Usually they terrify me. Not so this book. The author has come up with a fresh, unique zombie story. I didn't think it was possible. Along with the unique storyline, the author gave us solid characters. I loved them. This story has a lot of humor injected into it. I love the sarcasm! I absolutely had a good time reading Dying for a Living. The book is part of a series. It doesn't end with some crazy event that is continued in the second one. Rather it dangles the mystery that we already know with the promise that we will know more in the future. That is how we find ourselves caught in a web of a sarcastic zombie, angels who we are not quite certain are there to help or harm, extremist church members, romance, intrigue and dying, hopefully without a death. If you are looking for a unique, laugh out loud, reading adventure this is your book. If you wanted to read a zombie book but they scare you too much, give this one a shot.
For those who want to know, this book contains same-sex relationship talk and some violence, though not very gory.
