  <default_description> Seattle. One minute you're drinking a vanilla breve, the next, some creepy old dude is breathing on you, turning you into a zombie. And that's just for starters. Now, the recently deceased Amanda Feral is trying to make her way through Seattle's undead scene with style (mortuary-grade makeup, six-inch stilettos, Balenciaga handbag on sale) while satisfying her craving for human flesh (Don't judge. And no, not like chicken.) and decent vodkatinis. &lt;P&gt; Making her way through a dangerous world of cloud-doped bloodsuckers, reapers, horny and horned devils, werewolves, celebrities, and PR-obsessed shapeshifters--not to mention an extremely hot bartender named Ricardo--isn't easy. And the minute one of Amanda's undead friends disappears after texting the word, &quot;help&quot; (The undead--so dramatic!) she knows the afterlife is about to get really ugly. &lt;P&gt; Something sinister is at hand. Someone or something is hellbent on turning Seattle's undead underworld into a place of true terror. And this time, Amanda may meet a fate a lot worse than death... &lt;P&gt; Advance praise for Mark Henry and Happy Hour of the Damned! &lt;P&gt; &quot;Sexy, funny and twisted. You've never read anything like this!&quot; --Richelle Mead, author of &lt;I&gt;Succubus On Top &lt;/I&gt; &quot;Dark, twisted and completely hilari&lt;P&gt;ous. I loved this book!&quot; --Michelle Rowen, author of &lt;I&gt;Lady &amp; The Vamp &lt;/I&gt;&lt;P&gt; &quot;Call them the splatterati - werewolves who always know what to wear, zombies with bodies to die for, and vampires who know their fang shui - just don't call them late when it comes to happy hour, or the drinks might be on you.&quot; --David Sosnowski, author of &lt;I&gt;Vamped &lt;/I&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;I&gt;&quot;Happy Hour of the Damned &lt;/I&gt;- is it a comedy? An urban fantasy? A whodunit? Who cares! Mark Henry's written such a clever and engaging story that fans of any genre will totally adore it. Amanda Feral is the freshest, funniest character to come out of fiction since Bridget Jones and my only regret is she's not real and we can't go out for drinks. (Because, really? Zombies are the new black.) In short? I loved this book!&quot; --Jen Lancaster, author of &lt;I&gt;Bitter Is The New Black &lt;/I&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;I&gt;&quot;Happy Hour of the Damned &lt;/i&gt; blends the hilarious narcissism of &lt;I&gt;Seinfeld &lt;/I&gt; with &lt;I&gt;Night of the Living Dead.&lt;/I&gt; Who knew skincare-obsessed zombies were so much fun? I couldn't read this book fast enough.&quot; --Jeaniene Frost, New York Times bestselling author of &lt;I&gt;Halfway to the Grave &lt;/I&gt;&lt;P&gt; &quot;More brisk, batty, raunchy, and catty than a room full of cougars with a margarita machine. &lt;I&gt;Happy Hour of the Damned &lt;/I&gt;is funny as hell.&quot; --Cherie Priest, author of &lt;I&gt;Not Flesh Nor Feathers &lt;/I&gt;&lt;P&gt; &quot;Gruesome, ghoulish and utterly groundbreaking. Mark Henry is daring and scathingly funny.&quot; --Jackie Kessler, author of &lt;I&gt;The Road To Hell &lt;/I&gt;&lt;P&gt;</default_description>

Boy did this book help thanks to the humor that fills it.  I adore Amanda and her gaggle of friends.

    <body><![CDATA[I hated this book.    No I will not read the 2nd book in the series. This is pretty harsh for me.  I almost always give a 2nd chance. Maybe, I just hate books where a zombie is the protaganist. They eat people.  Amanda tells her about sex with her boyfriend.  Then later says, &quot;oh by the way, I ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70593156">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Not sure about this book.  It's an interesting idea, as I've never read a book with a flesh eating, fashion conscious, smart assed zombie protagonist.  However, some of those things are what get in the way of enjoying the book.  I'm interested in the PREMISE, but not the protagonist.

    <body><![CDATA[The book reads like a memoir told from the first person viewpoint of a snarky-as-hell, newly-undead, fashionista socialite named Amanda Feral. An advertising executive with a tendancy to mock every single person she meets (if not out loud, in her head), she and her friends spend their time in one ni...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25264118">more...</a>]]></body>
