PJ Jones is well known for her parodies of a certain vampire series, as well as werewolves and damsels in distress. So when I began Attack of the Fairytale Zombies I had some idea of what to expect--her witty, irreverent prose, humorous dialogue, and funny insulting references to some celebrities(Yes, I'm referring to Oprah, Kim K., and Taco Bell). But Attack is more than just a simple parody--it is a well written story involving characters you care for--Barthalemew Huganut, the knight, Drag the dragon, and Heather, the witch. True, it is parody, but it is also a love story as well as a story of friendships and loyalties. The concept is original. Barth, a dragon slaying knight is called upon to save Fairytale Kingdom after a zombie curse threatens to destroy all those Barth cares for, including the beautiful witch Heather he has fallen in love with. Through fast paced action and plot twists, you virtually race through the novel wondering if Barth will be successful in his quest. Attack is funny, engaging and a recommended read for those who relish parody and satiric comedy, though after the final scene you may find you want to take a clean shower. Read Attack of the Fairytale Zombies and laugh out loud!
