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

Who knew a story could be so disgusting and hilarious at the same time?
Married with Zombies was fast-paced, full of kick ass action and lots of humor, with two enjoyable characters that you'll cheer for until the very end.
Sarah and David's circumstances were highly amusing. Not because they were fighting for survival against hordes of zombies, but because they were a couple forced to work together to stay alive when they couldn't even decide on how to handle listening to music together in the car.
As the story progresses, we witness the development and strengthening of their relationship with each decapitated zombie and every near death experience that they survive.
As with any good zombie novel, there are casualties to face. So the story does occasionally have some heartfelt and heartbreaking moments. But more often than that, there are less serious moments where we are introduced to zombie strippers, zombies with gambling addictions, and relationship advice that I couldn't help but to smile about.
"Put the small stuff into perspective. It's better to be wrong and alive than right but eating brains."
I recommend Married with Zombies to anyone who enjoys a good dose of humor along with gory, vividly-detailed zombie carnage.
And really, who wouldn't enjoy that?
I can't wait to read about Sarah and David's next adventure in Flip This Zombie.
"Sarah, do you really want to tell her about our plans?" he asked, his voice low so she wouldn't hear us argue.
"Why not?" I asked as I shrugged his hand away.
"Because I'm not really certain she'd make the best travel partner through a zombie-infested city," he hissed. "She gets confused by Scrabble."

This is kind of a humorous series with some series implications as well. Petersen does a fairly decent job at pulling the storyline together.

I loved it. I finished it in a day. I was just in it for the gore and the humor, so it was exactly what I was expecting ;)
It was fun yesterday watching The Walking Dead and then Zomblieland. Totally lost in zombies!
Ya know, this last episode wasn't one of my favorites. I think I had my expectations set too high. I've been waiting so long for Rick and Shane to fight it out, but surprisingly it was a tad boring to me.
I would have to agree with you. I was so hoping for a body count but was left supremely annoyed and disappointed.
This sounds awesome! LolGood review too btw
I really like this series. Each book really is funnier than the last! When you're done with book 3 you should see my quotes, rofl.
@Shelley - I'm sure the next episode will be better ;)@Kellie - Thanks!
@VNF - I didn't realize you had read the whole series. That's awesome. Glad to hear that they get even better.
