When I first heard/read about this book I wasn't so sure I would like it. Even though its got zombies, which are just plain cool in any form, I wasn't sure how I felt about a zombie-shrink. I'm very happy to have read this book however! Throughout much of it I kind of just wanted to leap into the book with a chainsaw and be like Ash from the Evil Dead movies, just because I felt so bad for Megan.

Megan had a good life going for her and it seemed like it would only get better. Even though I'm not convinced the quarterback she was so hot on was really worth the time of day, I understood a lot of his appeal to her came from the fact he was part of the popular crowd. A crowd she desperately wanted to be part of. Of course what does any good turn in life deserve? A zombie attack! Never underestimate the effect a zombie attack can have on a romantic mood.

The relationship between her and Ethan was kind of cute. It wasn't 'if he's not with my world is over' critical, but neither did either of them take it lightly. It hit just the right tone of teen love--the playfulness that can turn serious, the first kisses that make your breathing irregular and the protective need to still hold back a little to save yourself from any future hurt. I think Stacey Jay really hit those feelings on the head.

The black magic practitioner behind the Reanimated Corpses (that is the red-eyed flesh eating Undead, not the Unsettled) is a surprise with a capital S. I'm sure if I re-read the book I would pick up on the clues now that I know what I'm looking for, but throughout the book the only word that came to mind about the character was 'intense'. Actually the last twenty pages or so are full of surprises.

I definitely enjoyed You Are So Undead To Me and hope to see more about this 'Settler' lifestyle. I wouldn't mind seeing more about Monica, sure she's a complete witch with a B, but I'm interested to see how she juggled all her popular crowd commitments with her Settler secret. ( )

pretty good! ( )

I really enjoyed this book. I could not put it down. Loved the plot twist at the end kind of dawned on me as I was reading it. Highly recommend. Now one too book two. ( )

Might be a good story line but the writing is so bad. ( )

Fifteen-year-old Megan Berry is a Zombie Settler by birth. All Megan wants is to be normal and go to homecoming.
Unfortunately, it's a little difficult when your dates keep getting interrupted by a bunch of slobbering Undead.
Things are about to get even more complicated for Megan. Someone in school is using black magic to turn average, angsty Undead into flesh-eating Zombies, and it's looking like homecoming will turn out to be a very different kind of party. The bloody kind.
Megan must stop the Zombie apocalypse descending on Carol, Arkansas. Her life and more importantly, homecoming depends on it.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this modern, quirky twist on the traditional zombie tale! My favourite character was Megan. Despite her amazing abilities to control (and help) the dead, she remains determined to have a "normal" life outside of her Zombie Settler duties. I really like the cover of this book as it reflects the story within, without being too cliché.
