Book Summary
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 an 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.

| Megan |
Well what was everyone's initial reaction?
 |
| Ren |
ZZZZzzzzzZZZZzzzz
 |
| Dara |
My Life as a tortured Reader
Sorry, my filter is less when I'm tired.
Everyone laughs at Dara
 |
| Alicia |
I didn't hate it. I just didn't love it either. It was blah.
|
| Megan |
I didn't really feel tortured, not in the beginning
 |
| Alicia |
me either. . .more like the female in the center of men in a Bukkake experience.
i'm not tortured but i don't want come on my face either. :-/
|
| Megan |
thank you for that Kenya
How did yall feel about ANGEL?
|
| Kenya |
The writing was great. I just didn't care about Angel in anyway. I couldn't relate. She wasn't interesting.
She was kind of really dumb.
|
| Ren |
If she whined one more time about having to eat brains I was going to blow mine out!!
|
| Alicia |
interesting-ness?
interestingosity?
interestingation?
I found it was missing those things.
|
| Megan |
Of course it was missing those Alicia. I don't think those are words. And. . .I mean I would have complained about eating brains too.
|
| Alicia |
Those Are too WORDS!
|
| Dara |
I didn't care about Angel. I was loading my shot gun up with zombie killing ammo... Just sayin!
She was supposed to be this bad girl, but none of the bad stuff was actually happening to her. She had her shit pretty much together in the first 30%. Maybe she was just too reasonable--which conflicted with how she thought of herself.
|
| Alicia |
And her life wasn't interesting. She went to the morgue and did morgue stuff and ate brains--that was the entire first 30%.
|
| Ren |
There were certain parts that had me doubled over with laughter but the suckfest ruined it
|
| Kenya |
I agree with Alicia. I thought I was getting a flawed character instead she was Mary Poppins that had a drug habit long ago.
|
| Megan |
I liked the whole brains in jars thing. I thought it was really funny--and that it was a zombie POV situation
What was your favorite part?
|
| Kenya |
I don't have a favorite part, just a favorite set of sentences: "Glass and blood and metal. A broken body beside me. Teeth and hunger. Gobbets of flesh ripped away." And then boredom
|
| Alicia |
I didn't finish. Quit at 30%. And at that point, there was still no plot.
|
| Megan |
That's a good quote minus boredom part!
|
| Kenya |
It lacked penis...seriously...40% and no penis is no bueno!!
Everyone laughs at Ren!!
|
| Kenya |
So immature Ren!!
(Really agrees with Ren but is trying to change her image of being a horn dog)
|
| Megan |
Sadly... I'm not sure. To be honest I kept asking myself... What is the point of this story.Great concept. Needed better execution! And the ex-boyfriend was gross.
|
| Dara |
Are we forgetting that they start to rot if they're not up on their brain consumption. Talk about a mood killer and EWWWWWWW!
The plot was... zzzzzz!
|
| Ren |
I wishes she would have owned that shit. If she were a badass I would have been happy. She was just annoying!
Things that you would have changed?
|
| Ren |
I thought for sure there would be a killer kegger in there! It would have been a little more interesting for her to at least try to get smashed!
|
| Kenya |
I would have liked to see something happen to her vagina due to her being a Zombie. Maybe make it extra sensitive or have a penis form from her clitoris.
|
| Alicia |
In defense of the lack of drugs and partying, the mellowing drugs she took to relax, and also the beer, didn't affect her after she became a zombie. So maybe she lost interest (and thus, became a very boring zombie).
|
| Ren |
ewww extra fishy! @Kenya
nasty cracked and chafing vajayjay!!
|
| Megan |
REALLY Kenya?
|
| Alicia |
Megan, sometimes it's best to just ignore Kenya!
|
| Kenya |
it would have added flare!(ignoring me only makes me stronger!! BHAHAHAH I'm like the Easter Bunny. . .)
|
| Megan |
Okay so now that we are talking about clits growing penisis...penises!! I think we should wrap this up!
ANY FINAL THOUGHTS???
|
| Ren |
Don't waste $8!
