YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

Angel Crawford is a loser.

Living with her alcoholic deadbeat dad in the swamps of southern Louisiana, she's a high school dropout with a pill habit and a criminal record who's been fired from more crap jobs than she can count. Now on probation for a felony, it seems that Angel will never pull herself out of the downward spiral her life has taken.

That is, until the day she wakes up in the ER after overdosing on painkillers. Angel remembers being in a horrible car crash, but she doesn't have a mark on her. To add to the weirdness, she receives an anonymous letter telling her there's a job waiting for her at the parish morgue—and that it's an offer she doesn't dare refuse.

Before she knows it she's dealing with a huge crush on a certain hunky deputy and a brand new addiction: an overpowering craving for brains. Plus, her morgue is filling up with the victims of a serial killer who decapitates his prey—just when she's hungriest!

Angel's going to have to grow up fast if she wants to keep this job and stay in one piece. Because if she doesn't, she's dead meat.

Literally.

What is easiest for you? If I had a set amount of chapters per day might keep me on track. But I am really fine with whatever.

7-8 chapters per day would have us finishing it in five days. If that is too many though we could drop that to 4-5 per day.

7-8 chapters per day will work

Ch 1-7 done! Had a long drive for a short training class so was able to knock them out on audio! Loving it so far. Not uber deep of a story/tons of world building but so much fun and really adoring Angel as a character. She's a mess and so flawed but totally relate-able/likable.

Ch 8-15 done this morning while working. Day shift today which is a struggle for this night shift girl.

(view spoiler)[ Angel's humor is my favorite part of this. I find myself often chuckling at the thoughts she has. I'm loving that she is slowly finding other zoms and trying to piece together how she became one herself. I'm curious who is decapitating people and who set her up with the job/left her the notes. I love that she comments on the attractiveness of some of the men in her life yet the book - so far - isn't super graphic on the sexuality end of things. So far its a funny and enjoyable story and the narration on the audio version is great! (hide spoiler)]

I have picked this book up but I am having a hard time focusing on the book. I don't think it is the book but me. I am having a hard time focusing on any book right now.

I am going to try again today

Thank you

@sweettie pie reviews - did you have any luck getting into the book? I did get it finished a couple of days ago and ended up quite enjoying it and plan to invest in the rest of the series on audio as well.
