Married with Zombies (Living with the Dead, #1)

What do you do when you can't get along with your spouse?
Go to marriage counseling, of course!!
But what happens when your marriage counselor decides that you are on the menu and limps on over for a taste?
Ask for a lower rate?
Tell her that this is breaking your confidentiality contract?
Pop a mint?
Hell noes!! You kill her!!!!
The Plot
Sarah and Dave have been married for five years and are about to call it quits. They bicker all the time, they can't agree on anything, and just about every little thing makes them want to search for a divorce lawyer.... That is until a zombie plague infects Seattle.
Now with team work they are learning to blow zombie brains apart, loot stores with the same grocery/weaponry list, keep an eye on each other's back in case a zombie hoard decides the other one looks tasty, and finally agree that their councilor might have been right.... They can overcome their differences if they just try.
The Funny
I have to admit there were some major LOL moments in this book. One of them was in the very beginning that involved a smelly neighbor and death by toilet seat. I couldn't stop laughing at that one.
Others involved a neighbor named AMANDA who reminded me of CANDY from TWO AND A HALF MEN. SHe was just so simple and fun to watch... I mean read.
The couple bickering back and forth were really fun and if you have been married as long as I have (since '97) you will be able to relate and see the humor in everything. It was really fun to read.
Urban Fantasy?
I'm not sure about that? Sure there were guns and zombies and a couple of "woah where did you come from?" ninjas, but I don't know if I would call it Urban Fantasy. Maybe baby urban fantasy. They have yet to break out the spandex and leather.
Kid approved
If this was a movie, I think it would be or could be rated PG-13... but zomg... there is a ton of cussing in this book. I mean a ton!! So, it all depends on what you let your kid read. There isn't any ta-tas or tinky winkys. I think they say "tits" a couple of times but they are complaining about their slum lord.... but I don't know... I found the cussing really unnecessary. It amazes me how much women authors like to drop the F-bomb
Zombie Love
I felt the zombies in this book were very well done. It was really fun when the couple started taking their zombie knowledge from zombie movies. I was waiting for them to look for twinkies, but maybe in the next book ;)
Overall
Definitely a fun book and a great easy read to kick off the Zompacolypse Season.
Remember!! Zompacolypse is coming!! (starting October 1st!!)

Thank you for the information about the cussing. I was interested in the book, but I check reviews to see if it is rated PG-13 or up, because cussing gets in the way of my enjoyment and I avoid books with rated R scenes, because I don't want that stuff in my head. There are so many books out there and a finite amount of time, I would rather spend my time reading books I can enjoy fully.
