Shambling Along

 

Full disclosure – I listened to the Audible version of this book whilst painting my daughter’s bedroom.  It was a good light read for that sort of thing.

(I did claim that my last book review would be the last one about zombies – and it was. While this book does have zombies, they are side characters and it’s not creepy…)

Cute book – as cute as the cover.   Spunky out of work magazine writer Zoe Norris (oops …she had an affair with her boss who was married…to a cop with anger issues) flees the South and moves to the Big Apple to change her life and start over. She is getting a bit desperate for a job when stumbles into the secret world of the “Coterie” –  the hidden world of “non humans” who live amongst us; werewolves, vampires, succubi, incubi, demons, zombies etc.    The Coterie needs a travel writer – she needs a job.  But she’s human.  Can she deal with them? More importantly, are they willing to deal with her?

Cute, fast paced, dangerous with a bit of romance tossed in.   A lively little Urban Fantasy .   I have downloaded the next one – “The Shambling Guide to New Orleans”.  Looking forward to that.
