A Thing For Zombies
It's funny, the things you get used to seeing, now that they've passed the Undead Amnesty laws. Funny how quickly you learn to ignore them. But then one of them walks in like this and you realize there are some things you'll just never get used to.
Like zombies wearing g-strings.
*****************************************************************
Seventeen-year-old Kevin Velasco is about to have his heart broken.
As if crushing on his lifelong best friend, Jamie, weren't bad enough, she's obsessed with someone else, or...some the Undead. How can a guy compete against that?
So, when an attractive young zombie shows up at the pool where they lifeguard, Kevin becomes desperate. But his pushing forces Jamie to make a mind-blowing confession, leaving Kevin to wonder how far she's willing to go for the Undead.
And, more importantly, how far is he willing to go to win her back?

Good going, dude.
It's hard to do a review on this story without giving anything away.
All I am going to say is that the MC is the idiot of all idiots. If you're curious to know wtf I am talking about, then read this story.

Teens......!
As always Mr Tanpepper has written a book that had me glued from the first page. A great version of the zombie uprising, centered around two teenagers. Good plot with an end that shocked, but made me smile too.
