Weekend Review: Even White Trash Zombies Get The Blues by Diana Rowland

I want to start out by saying that I do not like the book covers in this series. It kind of grossed me out to see Angel sitting on the toilet right on the cover. Toward the middle of the book the main character is kidnapped and held in a room that she believes was once a bathroom, so I think that's the main reason for this cover choice. Angel had some issues in this book that I think everyone could relate to, she's having trouble at work, people are using her past against her, and she's having trouble with her boyfriend. Her past is a major issue in the book, since people don't believe what she says because of her past. She does make an effort to better herself despite what others say about her, which I think makes her a strong character. Even though the character is kidnapped, I never felt like she was in real danger because she was always such a strong character. The entire time she was being held I kept wondering when she was going to get herself out of trouble. Let's get to the part that I didn't like, her boyfriend. While I like that this isn't one of those books where all the males are in love with the female lead, I don't like the guy that is dating her. He doesn't seem suited for her, and I would like to see her with someone else, someone that she has chemistry with. She says herself that she isn't sure how much she likes Marcus, which is another point in the book that I really liked. Usually the female character falls in love with one of the male characters over the course of one book. Towards the middle/end of the book there's a lot of action. There's a part that shows that there is a bond between the new zombie and the one that created it, which is suspected to be the reason Marcus is so taken with Angel. I think that would be interesting, but I'm not sure if I would like that to be the reason he's so taken with her. Overall, this was a good book and I do plan to read the other two.

About the weekend review

I have decided that I want to take submissions for my weekend reviews. I'm a writer first, but I also enjoy reading and reviewing. I think it would be a good idea to figure out a way for people to submit books for me to review on my blog. I would prefer self published novels, since I'm about to step into that world and I know I will need all the help that I can get. I hope when I finally decide to release my novel into the world that there's someone there to help me. Now, if I do decide to review self published novels, that does not mean they will get a positive review. All novels will get the review they deserve, which is what I would want for my own book. If you're interested please find a way to contact me.

My LEAST Favorite Books

I've done a bunch of posts on my favorite books, and books that have inspired me, but today I wanted to do a post on books I hate. Some of these books I've actually read to the end. I also want to say that just because I didn't like these books doesn't mean that you will dislike these books. I've already had someone bashing me for my amazon review of one of these books, but we'll get to that in a minute.

I got this book because Barnes and Noble suggested it to me after I bought the Sookie Stackhouse books. I was waiting for the new Sookie Stackhouse book to come out and thought it would be cool to read this while I waited. I wasn't aware that this was the second book in a series, but you can read this book without reading the first. In the book Elena Micheals, the only female werewolf, is captured to be part in a crazy game where supernaturals kill each other. The entire book is Elena wishing Clay would save her, or whining about missing Clay. She came off as one of the weakest characters I had ever read. I also hated the tv show, which is basically just a rip off of true blood.

This is the book I got attacked for my review on. Another amazon reviewer said that I must not be very intelligent if I didn't like this book. Sorry to break it to you, but intelligence is not measured by what books you enjoy. I honestly think a better name for this book would be the art of forcing you to get on anti-depressants. This book is told from the point of view of a dog. The book actually starts off with the dog about to die!! I have two dogs and didn't want to read that. The dog follows his boring master through college and onward. His master falls in love, has a kid, his wife dies of cancer. After the man's wife dies he gets accused of having a "relationship" with an underage girl, so his daughter also gets taken away. I had to read this book for school, I never would have picked something like this on my own.

What's a Stephen King book doing on this list? Well, it's not that it was poorly written, or anything like that, I just didn't like the book. Stephen King has always been kind of a hit or miss author for me. I like some of his work, but hate some of his other books. This and Insomnia are the worst two Stephen King books I've picked up. I didn't finish either of them.

I bet a lot of people have never seen these books before. Sometime around the time when Final Destination 3 was released New Line Cinema partnered with Black Flame Publishing to give you these crappy books. I actually collect them, not because I like the stories, but because I'm a huge fan of horror movies. The content inside the books is mostly original, there are a few novelizations. These books are basically poorly written fan fictions. The ones by Natasha Rhodes are the worst of the worst. Some of the Nightmare on Elm Street ones actually had decent ideas behind them, but these books are still poorly written. I might do a collection post on them in the future.

Weekend Review: My Life As A White Trash Zombie

I didn't want to read this book. The cover kind of grossed me out, but this book was everywhere. Barnes and Noble, Books-a-million, even the books amazon suggested to me. I finally gave in and read it when I saw it at the library. I'm glad I finally stopped letting the cover bother me and read this. It's about Angel Crawford, a lady who doesn't have the easiest life. She wakes up after an overdose and is given a note and a cooler. She's forced into a job at the morgue, and now has a craving for brains. Also, this book has a little mystery to it. There's someone killing people and leaving their headless bodies behind. This book was a fun little read and I plan on reading the other books in the series.
