Synopsis
Q: How many guys does it take to make your boyfriend wild with jealousy?
A: Only one, if he's UNDEAD.

Megan Berry had a perfectly average new-sundress-and-boy-obsessed life--until her power to settle the Undead returned. Oh, and then her best friend tried to kill her--and ruin homecoming--with a bunch of black magically raised zombies. At least she got a spot on the pom squad and a smokin' boyfriend (Ethan). But now Megan is in deep fertilizer all over again.

Why? Well, let's see...

· Feral new super-strong zombies? Check.

· Cheerleader vs. pom squad turf war threatening half time as they know it? Check.

· An Undead psychic hottie (Cliff) who's predicting a zombie apocalypse--and doing his best to tempt Megan away from Ethan? Yum. I mean, Check.

· Earth-shattering secrets that could land Megan in Settler prison for life? Um, IT WASN'T ME!!!

Everyone thinks Megan's at fault for the new uber-zombie uprising. Looks like she'll need the help of both Cliff and Ethan if she's going to prove her innocence before it's too late...

Review
I sincerely loved this book. With wit, biting sarcasm, teen angst and supernatural elements, Undead Much? has a familiar Buffy the Vampire Slayer feel that enthusiastically leapt from the page and into my heart. It had the perfect mix of deadly peril and fluffy humor that drew me in and kept me entranced from start to finish.

While the second book in a series, Undead Much? is perfectly capable of standing on its own. I had no problem following the story, although I do regret missing the first book and am currently dying to read You Are So Undead to Me.

Megan Berry is highly entertaining both while kicking zombie butt and while stressing about going to second base. Undead Much? is made of serious twists, some romance, a huge amount of action and pure awesome.
