Angel Crawford was a bit of a hot mess. Addicted to pills, living with an alcoholic father and dating a no-good loser, there doesn't seem to be much hope - until she wakes up after an accident with a craving for brains. A new job at the coroner's office gives Angel all the access to fresh brains she needs but other zombies are turning up dead and Angel still hasn't found out who turned her in the first place.

I listened to this on audiobook and it was narrated by Allison McLemore. I really liked the narration and while I had to listen to the first few chapters slower than normal to get used to Angel's thick Southern drawl, I eventually was able to speed up and fly through the book. I really liked Angel as a character and I actually think anyone who loved iZombie the TV show (I haven't read the comics) will love this book as it's very similar. Angel is on a real learning curve and moment of change in her life - not just with her new status as a zombie. She's still someone who needs to deal with addiction (just this time it's brains) but she's finding ways to improve her life and her fathers, and has the incentive to finally keep a good and steady job. She gains new friends who don't lead her down dark paths and finally gains the courage to stand up for herself to those trying to beat her down. She was really great to follow, and the story was fun with just the right amount of zombie horror for me. I liked trying to guess what was going on and who was the hunter and who was Angel's 'guardian angel'.

I definitely recommend this book for anyone wanting a fun story, and I recommend the audiobook as well!
