Synopsis: My mother-in-law’s a zombie. And she has anger-management issues.

My mother-in-law, Diane Newby, zombified by accident. She still volunteers at her church bake sales and cooks pot roast for her daughter and son-in-law, Ron Yardley. What ticks her off is when people don’t treat her like a normal human being – with glowing red eyes and super strength and speed. And if she doesn’t get her own way, look out. She explodes and leaves broken plaster and body parts in her wake. Nothing stops her: not brick walls, the federal government, or middle-aged spread.

But the world’s most powerful criminal plans to control zombies. His only problem with zombies is that they have way too much free will. He has a solution for that. But will it work with Diane Newby?

The world divides into pro-zombie and anti-zombie factions. Battles break out everywhere. Which side will you take? Who will live and who will die?

You might not survive this audiobook. But at least you’ll die laughing.

MY RATING: 5 STARS

MY REVIEW:

So if you were here 2 days ago you would know that I absolutely adored the first book in this installment. No surprise that I am digging the second one either. If you want to know more you can check out the review and tour stop for Zombie Turkeys here.

Once again we get to visit the lives of the fantastically droll Sam and Lisa as they adjust to the life after the zombie apocalypse starts settling down. Things aren’t going so well for them as there is only so much you can report on zombie turkeys, cows, squirrels and chickens. But never fear – something interesting is just around the corner for you. At the end of the first book (SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN’T LISTENED TO IT) you get introduced to the idea of the zombie virus being introduced into humans.

Now take everything you have ever heard or read about zombies and throw it out of the window. Our lovely zombie humans are not mindless creatures solely focused on the hunger for brains they cannot deny. Oh No. Our zombie humans are basically just that. Humans with the zombie virus that just makes them … more. Stronger, harder to kill, faster and way more resilient to damage.

Enter Diane Newby. Our story teller and blogger’s mother in law. Somehow (mysteriously) contracting the zombie virus Diane realizes she is so much happier with this virus than she was without and decides to forgo the antibiotics that can cure her of this ailment. And not only does she rock the zombie life by controlling all other zombie animals she does so much more for her country. Also – thanks to Diane – Lisa and Sam’s very successful online newspaper once again becomes the ever popular source of all zombie related news.

Of course – with great success comes great jealousy and envy and what would a good zombie book be without a very clever, very daunting arch nemesis out for their destruction. The Master of Disaster is this absolutely ridiculous villain that I found very hard to take seriously even though he legitimately was a genius that gave them an uber run for their money.

Now for our narrators Phil Blechman & Raven Perez

Once again they created this absolutely hilarious vivid world with their excellent character distinction and sound effects. The two of them have this amazing ability (in conjunction with Mr Zach) to create this world where I was a little bit scared to put my nose out the door for fear of it being pecked off by a zombie creature of some kind or having a cyborg snake sneaking up on me. I actually wonder if I can buy a flame thrower online…

Once again I have to mention – there is absolutely no way I would have enjoyed reading this book as much as I enjoyed listening to it so kudos to Mr Blechman and Ms Perez for being so excellent at what they do.

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Andy Zach. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

About the Author: Andy Zach

Andy Zach was born Anastasius Zacharias, in Greece. His parents were both zombies. Growing up, he loved animals of all kinds. After moving to the United States as a child, in high school, he won a science fair by bringing toads back from suspended animation. Before turning to fiction, Andy published his Ph.D. thesis “Methods of Revivification for Various Species of the Kingdom Animalia” in the prestigious JAPM, Journal of Paranormal Medicine. Andy, in addition to being the foremost expert on paranormal animals, enjoys breeding phoenixes. He lives in Illinois with his five phoenixes.

With his first book, “Zombie Turkeys” Andy blazed new ground in paranormal humor. The second book in his Life After Life Chronicles, “My Undead Mother-in-law” expands the zombie plague from turkeys to humans, with hilarious results. You can find both volumes on Amazon Kindle, Createspace print, and Audible audiobook editions.

Not content to keep in zombies earthbound, Andy puts them afloat in his third book, “Paranormal Privateers”. Just when you thought every funny zombie trope had been explored, new humorous horizons open up. You can get “Paranormal Privateers” in Kindle and print formats. The audiobook is available now on Audible.

Having conquered paranormal animal humor in his first series, Andy Zach launches into middle school superhero genre with Secret Supers. Four disabled seventh graders all get superpowers. Who knew a disability could be so useful for hiding a superpower? But the four friends, Jeremy, Dan, Kayla, and Aubrey confront problems that can’t be solved by superpowers.
