Where, oh where do I begin? Married with Zombies is the book that initiated my love affair with zombie books. Yes- it's that fabulous!

This book is laugh out loud funny... completely and absolutely hilarious! David and Sarah have all the problems of a regular marriage. They bicker, they argue over mundane things, they tease each other and all before/after/during bludgeoning any zombies in their midst.

Sarah absolutely rocks my face off, she is smart, witty and resourceful- I love her! David show more totally reminds me of my husband, which means he is awesome!

Married with Zombies is super fast-paced, crazy funny, and even a little romantic. (Not in a hot, steamy zombie sex way... but in a cute, romantic comedy way!) This is an absolute must read for everyone! I had never read a zombie book before this one, I figured that so wasn't my thing... Um, it is. MwZ will make you an instant fan of all things zombie! show less

The members of Monstofelldosis Anonymous meet in a church basement twice a week and discuss things like when was the last time they were outed, problems they are having and anything else that comes to mind. When Ellis the Invisible Man not only turns up dead, but has been killed according to His Story (by H.G. Wells), the others begin to get uneasy. Is there someone in New York City going around killing monsters? They need to get to the truth quick before more members die because no one show more wants to go out like they did in their Story.

This is an interesting, creative, humorous take on monsters. Well-written with well-developed characters this is a mystery that had me turning the pages as fast as I could read them. I’m happy to see there will be another story involving the monsters from Monstofelldosis Anonymous. I look forward to reading it!

I just love a sequel that's better than the first! Sarah and David are back, fighting zombies and watching out for each other. Petersen ups the ante and keeps the tension going strong: Between the emergence of a new type of powerful, smarter, bionic un-dead, and the mysterious secrets of the living, Sarah and David will have to use all their wits to survive. Whom can they trust? What will happen next? I enjoyed this one immensely. The first one was fun, of course, but here, the writing is show more tighter, the characters more complex, and I really liked the interaction between the two protagonists. Who knew the zombie apocalypse could be so romantic? show less

I must say that this was an enjoyably refreshing sort of story. Yes, there is a vampire but no, he does NOT sparkle. Yes, there is a werewolf but he does NOT fight with the vampire to win the girl's heart. *Takes a deep breath* So refreshing!

This story brings back all the beloved monsters of my youth... well except that "The Adam of His [Frankenstein] Labor" (The monster never truly did have a name, poor soul) is now a woman and called Natalie. Other than that, she shares a lot of similarity show more with Shelley's monster in the fact that she is a sensitive, gentle soul who is afraid of being rejected. As I fell in love with Shelley's creature, I utterly loved Petersen's portrayal of Natalie. I simply loved the manner of the monster's deaths (a bit too morbid of me?!) as it stayed "true" to the genre. Even the ending was true to form. And the 12 step program? Genius!

Yes, I am raving about this book, about it's novelty, about it's story. It is truly a great book. show less
