>Eat Slay Love by Jesse Petersen (Living With the Dead 3)

*Sigh…* I love this series. This is the third book in the Living With the Dead series, and it’s awesome. Perfect funny, fluffy, reading with a bit of gore. Seriously, if you like zombie movies like Zombieland, or Shaun of the Dead… this will be perfect for you. Like the cover says, the series is a romantic comedy, but takes place amidst a bunch of zombie-killin’. But warning, there will be a bit of spoilers so read the other books in the series first.

So the book starts off where the last one ended – Sarah and David are slowly making there way to the rumored “Midwest Wall” in Illinois, where apparently the zombie outbreak hasn’t reached. They’re also in possession of a small vial of The Cure – it saved David from being zombified in the last book, and they’re hoping that they can get it into good hands at the Wall. Things get a little more complicated when they meet entertainment reporter Nicole, and doped-up, ex-rockstar Colin McCray. While the foursome are trying to escape hordes of zombies and cults, Sarah notices David’s stranges new habits… like that he doesn’t bleed and can lift really heavy crap. Uh oh….

So, this book was hilarious and great and oh-my-gawd I hope it’s not the last Sarah & David book. Sarah is funny, snarky, and pretty kick-ass while also remaining human and compassionate. David is sweet and funny, and there were a lot of sweet/funny/worrisome moments throughout the book. And I have to say that after all the crap they went through in the previous two books, it was nice that they found more friends than psychos in this one. At least for the most part.

Also, the cursing in this book cracks me up. For example, this little passage…

“Our eyes met and despite the fact that we’d been sniping at each other a bit, the connection between us was stronger than ever. He got me, he got my autopilot reaction of going bitchcakes when I got scared because it was the only way I could function without falling apart. And I got him, too.”

Yup, bitchcakes. Seriously if that doesn’t make you want to read this series, I don’t know what will.

Sarah Says: 4 stars!

>Flip This Zombie by Jesse Petersen (Living with the Dead #2)

This is the newest sequel to Married with Zombies, which I reviewed a while back. In Married with Zombies, Sarah and David are close to divorce when the zombie apocalypse starts. They have to try to stay alive, and in turn that ends up saving their marriage. In the sequel, Flip This Zombie, they are starting their own business – ZombieBusters, Inc.

ZombieBusters Inc is going pretty well – they respond to pleas of help posted in survivor camps, go kill zombies, and then collect their payment (in trade, of course). One night though a somewhat ominous message is posted for them :

“I am in need of your assistance for a unique task. If you can accomodate me, please meet with me. Sincerely, A Friend”

So, craving some sort of new mission in zombie-slaying, they go and meet with Dr. Barnes, a scientist who asks them not to kill zombies, but to capture them alive and bring them to his lab. Taking on this job puts their marriage, and their skills, to the test – cause whatever Dr. Barnes wants live zombies for, it’s not good.

This was a pretty good follow-up. There was a lot of suspense in this one, and I guessed (correctly) at a couple things. There were some big shockers at the end though, and it was a really good ending. I seriously can’t wait for #3, which will be titled Eat Slay Love and will hopefully be out in June, per Amazon.

I did however give some points off this one because I didn’t laugh as often as I did in the first one. Now, in all fairness, I have a cold and it might just have been harder to make me laugh. Still worth the read though )
