Angel Crawford is a self described 'White Trash' zombie that's a year old and in the process of getting her un-dead life together. 3rd book in the series, it's possible to enjoy this story without reading the 1st two as she recaps them in this book, but I recommend taking the time to read them in entirety. The plot is a continuation of the underground zombie war going on between the real old zombie mafia and this new age human run bio-techno group.

Once again, Angel's smack dab in the middle of it because her "Zombie-Baby" is playing for both sides. Throw in a zombie movie being made at the High School she never graduated from and you've got yourself a tricky plot.

Those who thoroughly enjoy a New Age twist on the old zombie monster tale.

Angel's humor and the variety of characters. You believe in both her self loathing and self respect. You also bond with the characters that believe in her and who she bonds with. It's also easy to hate those that would try to bring her down and/or do her harm.

I liked it better than the 2nd but it could still be a tad bit repetitive and dramatic at times. I found myself skimming over more than a few paragraphs. It was nothing that drastically took away from the plot or action though?

Read the 1st and 4th one. The 1st one isn't available as an online resource and the 4th isn't out yet.

Connected to a clever, witty, and down to earth protagonist. We come from different worlds but Angel and I are scarily similar.

Knows her audience and herself. She covers drug addiction, domestic abuse, HS dropout, and pathetically low self-esteem; things a majority of young girls deal with at some point.

It's fun and light-hearted while still being serious. There are lessons to be learned and fantasies to be escaped to.

It can get a bit gory at times, but if you can stomach Interview With a Vampire or True Blood, WTZA is not that bad.

Rowland uses GD more than I care for but the excessive cursing isn't TOO over the top.

I rated it a 4 in "Usefulness" because the underlining theme of self-empowerment in the midst of human misery can benefit anyone with the mind to extract the useful information and just have fun with the rest.
