As a child, Saturday mornings meant a big bowl of Lucky Charms and cartoons. I was a huge fan of Bugs and Friends. That’s no-brainer. However, there was another early morning favorite…Scooby Doo. I loved trying to solve the mystery before the rubber mask was pulled off to reveal the dastardly culprit. Mark Henry’s Amanda Feral series is replacing that empty spot in my adult (notice I didn’t say grown-up) heart.

I must come clean early and say that Battle of the Network Zombie is my l More...

Pretty much the only reason I had this book was because it was a Kindle "Free Book of the Day," so I thought, "Why not?" I don't regret reading it, precisely, but I wish I had known a few things in advance. 1) This book was #3 in a series, so the main character--zombie Amanda Feral--makes several references to things that happened in previous books. Having not read books 1 and 2, I didn't know what she was talking about. Irritating. 2) This book had footnotes. As in the More...

In the deliciously vulgar third book in the Amanda Feral series, we see how far Miss Feral’s finances have taken a dive. Her car is repossessed, there’s all sorts of firings/layoff’s going on at Feral Inc. What’s a zombie to do when she gets offered the chance to judge a new reality show? Amanda judges for free people, why not get paid?! When Wood Nymph Johnny Birch is found murdered closely followed by the murders of two of the house guests, Amanda goes all Magnum PI, better dressed mind you an More...

The plot is fairly original, even in the paranormal subgenres that have emerged in recent years, but there are several issues I have with the text, the major one being that, though it's supposed to have been written first-person from the point of view of a callous, jaded, money-hungry, celebrity-hounding ad executive (Amanda Feral), it reads like it was written by an adolescent boy with a preoccupation with aberrant sexual habits and bodily functions (as so many adolescent boys are):

In the third installment of the Amanda Feral series Amanda is back, dirtier than ever. Her ad agency is on a downward spiral and her expense budget is in the toilet. In order to keep her condo and pay off her debt to the Reapers Amanda says yes to an opportunity to appear on a new reality show. Yet, things are never simple with Amanda and she finds herself in the middle of her very own murder mystery.

Amanda Feral books always makes me giggle and snort like kids do when they tell fart More...

Stylish Amanda Feral has found herself with a bit of a problem – lack of funds. To keep her zombie self in the height of fashion takes work, and money. Even more important than her designer clothes is her body, which takes work to keep the scratches, gashes and body parts all intact. When a zombie gets a boo-boo it doesn’t heal, and they must turn to the reapers to patch them up, which comes with a high price tag. The reapers want payment – now. Amanda’s advertising firm took a turn for the wors More...

Amanda is back, bitchier than ever in Battle of The Network Zombies and I LOVED it! It's sad to think of this series ending, it so is... This book was hilarious!


Amanda is drowning in debt, she owes a lot of money to the Reapers, the supernatural version of Doctors, and the little bitches are trying to collect their money. What is a girl to do? Become a judge on a new Supernatural Reality Show, of course.


The craziness start even before we get to the show and it More...

So happy to see Amanda back and snarky as ever! To bolster her struggling finances, she agrees to judge a paranormal reality show... but then must figure out how to still make a buck when the obnoxious host is found incinerated. With the help of her fellow zombie chick Wendy, and (surprisingly) her newly vampirized and zombie strip-club-owner mother, Amanda sets out to solve the crime and keep herself in hot shoes and body repairs.

Okay, I admit, I didn't know this was part of a series before I borrowed it from the library. The blurb on the back made it sound like a fun book and I've got nothing against vampires, zombies and other non-humans. I've enjoyed Carrie Vaughan's Kitty books, for example.

But I knew by the end of the first scene (set in an intentionally non-classy strip joint) that this book just wasn't for me. I might like books on the undead, but I can do without the gratuitous sexual references and f More...

A splendid conclusion to this irreverent series about a fashionista zombie and her BFF. Amanda tries her hand at mystery-solving when the host of American Minions, wood nymph Johnny Birch, is found murdered. Much mayhem and hilarity ensue in the now trademark Mark Henry style. This is a great read and I look forward to learning what Mr. Henry comes out with next.

Mark definitely takes his snark and his naughtiness to a new level in this book. Final line from my expanded review on my blog...

"This book is like having sex with a dislocated shoulder, it is really uncomfortable at times but you are having too much fun to stop."

I loved this book! It was hilarious,sexy and full of swearing. Amanda is a zombie who works in showbiz and is making a supernatural reality tv show. Add a little murder, a transexual werewolf and a very unhygenic stripper and it makes one funny book.

I was put off by the new cover art, I know that really shouldn't matter but I liked the cover art from the first two books very much and the cartoon look just didn't do it for me on the third, not classy enough for our Amanda...just my opinion. Usual Amanda shenanigans...and wicked quips, lot of fun.

I really like Mark Henrys snarky sense of humor and an interesting twist on zombies being in the regular world with jobs and friends. I would definitely recommend this book to zombie lovers who love mysteries and snarky humor.
