For long time fans of Mark Henry's Amanda Feral series, this novella heralds the return of our favorite snark-talking, sharp-dressing, body-parts chomping sex on heels zombie. However, if you've never read the novels (you should!) this is also a great jump on spot. Henry includes enough necessary exposition, cleverly disguised as humorous internal "monologing" & girl talk, that a newbie won't get lost in the zombie shuffle. (Not to imply that Amanda, or her BFF, Wendy, shuffle. That would ruin their shoes.)This novella is the first of three; & sees Amanda traveling to promote her supernatural expose book, Happy Hour of the Damned (which, coincidentally, is the first book of the series.) There is a certain amount of meta-humor in this book, because Amanda turns to writing to support her undead lifestyle. This allows Henry to poke fun at a lot of the cliches about writers, fandom, & the realities of being a full time author, & this is part of the snarky charm of the tale.I won't lie to you; if you're looking for your typical HEA romance, thinly veiled in the realms of the paranormal, look elsewhere. If, however, you're looking for a buffet of sass, snark, sexy creatures of the (late evening &) night & fast paced, fun plotting, you can stop looking & buy this book. I couldn't stop reading this delightful romp, as Amanda & friends rollercoastered haphazardly through plot twists & cuddling vampires. I can't wait to get my hands on the next installment.
