Loose Change

Review: Lucky Stiff by Tonia Brown

I had heard good things about this book, but was frankly a little worried about reading it.  Zombie erotica?  It sounded like a gimmick.  Besides, I am squeamish about zombies, and even more so about erotica.  Still, I thought it might be good for a laugh.  What I found was much, much more. 

Peter is an eighteen year old boy who's never had much of a life, until he loses the one he had.  His friends, who accidentally kill him, decide to bring him back to life with the help of Madam Sangrail, an absolutely wonderful character who would steal the show if Peter weren't so compelling himself.  What he becomes may be undead, but he's more full of zest than ever.  Part coming-of-age tale, part romance, part action comedy, this is a story I couldn't put down.  Even though it is a very satisfying 232 pages long and I started it late at night, I didn't stop until I finished.  More than that, I can easily see reading it again.

Good characters, good sex, good fun.  This probably isn't for fans of the Romero mindless brain chompers, unless they have a sense of humor and are willing to put aside their preconceptions.  I think it will have particular appeal for women, which surprised me given the title and genre, but obviously there is plenty there for men too.  While there is a lot of sex, it is more like hot and steamy romance sex than anything else, and the characters are so much fun, you'll want to spend more time with them.  I'm hoping for a sequel, but in the meantime am going to look for any other books by this wonderful author.
