Synopsis
Q: HOW MANY ZOMBIES DOES IT TAKE TO RUIN A SOCIAL LIFE?
A: NOT MANY.

Megan Berry is a Zombie Settler by birth, which means she's part-time shrink to a whole bunch of semi-dead people with killer issues. All Megan really wants is to go to homecoming, but when you're trailed by a bunch of slobbering corpses whenever you leave the house, it's kinda hard to score a date. Let's just say Megan's love life could use some major resuscitation.

Megan's convinced her life can't get any worse - until someone in school starts using black magic to turn average, angsty Undead into scary, hardcore flesh-eating Zombies. Now it's up to Megan to stop the Zombie apocalypse. Her life - and more importantly, the homecoming dance - depends on it.

Review
I read Undead Much?, the sequel to You Are So Undead to Me, first. Knowing the outcome of the mystery effected my enjoyment of this book. Having said that, You Are So Undead to Me is still so very fun.

Megan is constantly in danger because she refuses to listen to those who are trying to keep her safe. It's annoying. She's always walking into a trap because she knows better than her elders. While this is very true to the actions your average teenage girl, it still made me want to slap some sense into her. I see that as a good thing though. I cared about her and didn't want to see her hurt. Her loyalty to her friends often overrode her common sense which is both dangerous and endearing.

Lots of great zombie related ground covered here including black magic, zombie settling, the heredity of settling ability, the Settlers Affairs organization and even how to date when zombies keep interrupting your plans. You Are So Undead to Me is funny and light, while chock full of zombie mayhem.
