My Zombie Valentine Book

I always preface a review of an anthology by saying that I don't like anthologies. The stories are too short, have too much stuff crammed into them and little to zero character development. That said, this one was no different. I bought this book for the Katie MacAlister story and I didn't like it at all. This is a zombie anthology and most of the zombie elements in this story were extraneous to the story. I found most of the story to be irritating especially Sally with her bastardized Franglaise which also served no purpose. I did like Sebastian and Damian and would have welcomed more on both.

Angie Fox's Gentlemen Prefer Voodoo wasn't much better. Amie Baptiste is one of those wishy-washy females that you just want to slap. Her dragon insisted that she needed a man so she voodoo'd herself one. Unfortunately, he was dead at the time. Enter the zombie who is instantly in love and wants to marry Amie. She has three days to make up her mind before he rots permanently back into the ground.

Zombiewood Confidential by Marianne Mancusi only warranted reading half before I was disgusted enough to bypass the rest of this lame hollywood story filled with empty, bubble-headed stars and starlets.

And finally the best of the lot from Lisa Cach, Every Part of You. We have a guy (Tom) who is definitely no sweet-talker. We have a gal (Angelica) who hates every part of her body and visits a plastic surgeon (coincidentally where she meets Tom). And we have an evil plastic surgeon illegally injecting an experimental drug (like botox) into unsuspecting patients which is turning them into carb-loving zombies. This one is really funny and Tom is every woman's dream man regardless of what comes out of his mouth at first.
