This is the first book I have read about Amanda Feral, so I did not have the background other fans of the author have. The beginning of the book started a little slow for me.  Basically,  An author female zombie, a drug dealing female zombie, a gay male vampire, and an older Hispanic female called Abuelita go on a road trip. The author is going to a book signing and the drug dealer is going to recover some stolen drugs. The drugs are sold to vampires, so that takes the sting out of the book being about true drug dealers, which I would not like to see, just saying.  So far, sounds like the beginning of a joke someone may tell in a bar, right?  Well, as is true of most road trips, the beginning of the book, the somewhat slow part for me, is a lot of snarky humor between the passengers and irreverent thoughts on the part of the author zombie, Amanda Feral.  Very, very funny, if you can imagine what zombies would find entertaining (chowing down on body parts kept in a purse, because everyone knows you have to take snacks with you on a road trip).  Then they make their first stop, the town where the author zombie is doing a book signing and all Hell breaks loose. The action and pace of the book is non-stop, murder, mayhem, and one surprise after another, including finding out what the gay vampire does for a living and who Abuelita is.  The book was wonderful. I can't wait for the next one.
