I have to be honest when I first began reading this book I thought it was a little too over the top for me but I figured I should stop being "Judgey Judgerson" and give it a fair shot. I am so glad that I did. It was a really enjoyable read. It has a little bit of everything humor, romance, murder and mystery.Pallas is a tough cookie who won't take crap from anyone. Her back story is sad and makes you wonder if she isn't a pawn in a bigger scheme. The supporting cast is interesting as well and I liked that every possible paranormal/mythical creature made appearances. I enjoyed the different spin on zombies that was presented. Rather then being bitten and immediately tuning into mindless brain eating machines, there is a 15 year delay. The zombies in this story were religious and very superstitious. It had parallels to someone having a terminal disease, trying to continue to live life and make peace with it.As this is part one to an expected trilogy there were a few little carrots dangled for back stories that I will be more than happy to chase. If you're someone who likes to compartmentalize and not allow any food to touch each other on your dinner plate, this may not be the story for you. However, if you are looking for a story that is a great example of urban fantasy pick this one up.
