Jesse Petersen (Goodreads Author)
Once a zombie, always a zombie?
Dave and Sarah are pretty happy in the Middle-of-Nowhere, Montana. They’ve done their part in saving the world (kind of) and now they’re settling in for a long life of killing straggler zombies. Well, they think that’s what they’re doing until a helicopter lands on their front lawn with old friends Nicole Nessing and Robbie “The Kid” on board...more

How about the ending to Eat Slay Love? The Wall. Family. Resistance. And Sarah going all Commando-Bad-Assy. I was so glad that they got some rest up in Montana. And if I could go back and tell them not to get on the helicopter I would. STAY! DON’T GO! But they both have that HOPE and SAVE HUMAN-kind thing going for them, so why stop now? I was totally amazed at how at-ease David fell into being a test subject. *scratches head*

I loved the first three books in this series (and the covers) so, I was excited when I heard there was a 4th book. I assumed the 3rd was the final book because I felt it had a nice ending without getting too "campy".
Now on to my review, I do not like the cover of this book, it doesn't match the others...which is annoying! I felt the story in this book was very forced. It seemed rushed and had no emotion behind it. I also felt it was a bit silly to have all the characters together (even character...more

Sarah and Dave have managed to find a safe place – inasmuch as anything is safe after a zombie apocalypse. They’re hold up, isolated, capable of defending themselves and well stocked up to face the coming year. They’ve even come to terms with Dave’s half-zombie nature and use it to their full advantage. The only problem is Sarah’s growing restlessness. After months of constant fighting for survival, the quietness of their lives is wearing on her.
That, and the fact she is pregnant. And, with Dave...more

I have mixed feelings about this installment in the Living With The Dead series... a series I really enjoyed for its balance of action coupled with snappy banter and surprisingly well developed characters.
Like other readers, I was disappointed by how this installment was constructed as a quasi-greatest moments compilation; reuniting all of the supporting cast and bringing our heroes back to where our story began. That said, I also had to suspend by disbelief to accept the entire zombie apocalyps...more

I liked it, but did I really like it? So I guess this is 3.5 stars...
The final part of a series. I was a bit surprised at the plot. After the last book I expected something quite different -- an exploration of the plot bunnies left over at the end of that book, a venture into unknown lands beyond the wall... There was definitely the beginning of another full length novel there.
Instead there was this -- fairly short, a rather hurried tie-up of any loose ends with a happy ending.

It's hard to write an accurate review when you love the author but don't like the book. I loved the first 3 books in this series. I bragged about them to anyone who would listen, and even purchased them a second time when I got my Kindle. Jesse Petersen is a skilled writer, and the saga of Sarah and David was fun, kick-ass, and entertaining. Until this book, anyway.
The most glaring difference is the writing. Where is the sass and snark? Where is the fun in the midst of a zombie apocalypse? Wher...more

I have to say, I eagerly awaited this book. I absolutely loved the first three in the series so I figured this would be a slam-dunk for me. Unfortunately it was not so. It seemed shorter than the previous three books, almost rushed, in a way. I don't feel I can criticize too much because I have never poured my heart and soul into a work for public consumption, but, the book left me wanting a little bit more. Regardless, I am very much looking forward to her new book!
This one wasn't as good as the others in the series, in my opinion. It felt like everything happened way too fast, and it was really short. This could have easily been a full length book and been drawn out more. It was still a fun read, don't get me wrong, but I felt it went overboard on the winking at the reader bits that were in the other books. With this one being so short, it didn't work as well. Overall, it was a good read and I still liked the book, I just wanted it to be longer and slowed...more
Well, how to rate this. I love Jesse Petersen's work. I loved the rest of this series. I was so excited to read this and even though I enjoyed it, it felt rushed. Especially in the end. There could have been so much more to this. Even the comical parts were lacking. Not that it didn't have the humor, it did, it just wasn't delivered like the other books. I still enjoyed the story. Just wish it had more juice to it.
A great end to the series, The Zombie Whisperer concludes the story of Sarah and David, which began in Married with Zombies with a zombie outbreak in Seattle. Appropriately enough, this novel returns the action to Seattle for a final showdown with the living and undead. A number of characters introduced in the previous 3 novels, and in the short stories, reappear to assist (or hinder) Sarah and David as they make a last attempt to save the world. But Sarah's hiding something important, and even...more
Although the story is quite predictable and the cover is a little off, still this final book in the Living with the Dead series is a better ending than I have expected. It was still action packed and still gives me the urge to keep on reading until the very last page. It has become quite Braking Dawn-ish and had some errors in the text though, but I still loved it.
I really enjoyed this final book to the series. I was extremely happy that the author reunited Dave and Sara with characters from the previous books. It made me laugh, but also kept me in suspense at certain points. I was grateful that the author went on to tell us what happened with the couple after they saved the world.
I love the David & Sarah books and was really excited to hear another one was out. This one was fun, with characters from all of the other books showing back up and tying up a lot of loose ends. My only complaint is that it felt much shorter than the others, but that could just be because I wanted the story to go on and on...
I really liked how this series ended, I didn't feel riped off or like it was summed up to fast. Everything went went very well with the other books and even made me cry in the end. This is a ass-kicking, sarcastic zombie mind level read. If you liked the movie zombieland you will like this series.
I loved this series! The main characters go from the brink of divorce to heroes who save mankind and become a family. I loved the reunion with characters met in the other books as well. I did find it a bit less exciting than the previous three books, but a great ending to this bad add couple's journey...hopefully only for a while and not forever!
I really liked the first three books in this series, but this installment felt forced. I agree with others that it seemed arbitrary and distracting to bring back every major remaining character from the previous books. The plot and dialogue did not really measure up to the rest of the series either.
For whatever reason, the writing was just not as good as the previous books in the series in my opinion. Not sure what happened here.

I really enjoyed this book. I am sad that the story had to end, but I like how everything was wrapped up. I like knowing what happens to all the characters that I have grown to know in a book. I don’t feel like the story was rushed or “campy”, like some of the other reviewers mentioned. It did feel a little shorter, but I read the first 3 in paperback, so I can’t really compare. I will agree that the cover is not as good as the other 3, but I also understand that this book was published differen...more
That cover is hideous! What the hell happened with the awesome pink covers?:( I hate when covers don't match.

I really enjoyed this ending to the series. I liked seeing a return of the characters from the first three books, though I did have to refresh my memory of who some of them were. I disagree with some of the other reviews and feel that the wittiness of the first few books was very much intact in this one. I hate to see this series end.
Love all these books!
a thrilling and fun conclusion to this awesome series. So glad to see it get the finale it deserved and get more Sarah and David! They've grown a lot over this series and seeing them functioning as a unit is so much fun. Another nonstop action adventure filled with snarky fun! and zombies. :)
Horrible mismatched cover, terrible font and pretty damn awful editing work, however, Jesse didn't fail with the storyline.
A great end to the series, though I'm still sad to see it finish. If you can see past the publishing issues you'll enjoy the story.

Loved the ending to this series so much. I also loved that it encompassed some old friends and some new friends that you can read about in the side series.
well done, wraps up all the other books well. may not be the greatest stand alone book. but everyone should read the series anyway.
I'm gona miss Sarah's snarkiness and David's super-zombieness...but it was a good ending to the series.

A Facebook application once told Jesse Petersen that she'd only survive a day in a zombie outbreak, but she doesn't believe that. For one, she's a good shot and two, she has an aversion to bodily fluids, so she'd never go digging around in zombie goo. Until the zombie apocalypse, she lives in the Tucson with her husband and two cats and writes snarky urban fantasy about monsters and zombies. Find...more
