Eh?Eh! rated it: 2 of 5 stars
This was more of the same, each chapter headed by pithy sayings and our snarky couple making their way in a zombie world. Instead of marriage counseling, this one used business. You can tell the next one will be carbon copy with life-affirming statements (Eat Slay Love? Uh huh).

I'd thought the first book had left off with our heroes heading off to find Sarah's father? Maybe I misunderstood, because this book had them near Phoenix, offering their services as zombie exterminators. More...

(Spolier Alert! Do not read if you have not read Married With Zombies)

Sarah and David are back in Flip This Zombie, a sequel to Married With Zombies. It’s been a few months since the zombie Apocalypse happened and we find Sarah and David in a much better place than when we first met them. Their marriage is off the rocks and well you could say business is booming for them. They start ZombieBusters where they take jobs exterminating zombies for payment (usually food, medical supplies, am More...

This is the second book in Petersen’s Living With The Dead series, and it picks up a few months after the zombie plague has hit. Sarah and David have made their way south and are in their first weeks in their new business, Zombiebusters Exterminators, Inc. They have become mercenaries who will wipe out your zombie infestation for a price. Oddly enough, their relationship is getting better and better—almost as if their constant togetherness and their finely honed teamwork are working together to More...

Flip This Zombie is the second book in the Living With The Dead series. I haven't had the opportunity to peruse book one as yet, but it is not needed to sink your teeth into this book. With quips throughout the story to keep you on track in case you did not read the first one, author Jesse Petersen keeps you involved and entertained with humour, horror and humanities desire to survive, no matter what the circumstances.

David and Sarah are a husband/wife team who decides to make the More...

I absolutely loved Married With Zombies, Jesse Petersen's first novel, about a dysfunctional couple seeking marriage counseling at the onset of Zombie Apocolypse. It was a quick, super-fun read, so I had high hopes for Flip This Zombie! Well, it didn't disappoint! If anything, it was more fun than the first, and Married With Zombies was pretty darn fun!

As Zombiebusters Inc., Sarah and D More...

After the first book, I was really looking forward to the next two in the series. However, I wondered whether the author would be able to keep up with Sarah's snarky humor. And, in that regard, the author does not disappoint.

This book picks up a few months after the ending of the last book. The Government has bombed major cities in an attempted to control the zombie population. While getting rid of a few, it has left shells of buildings for zombies to hide in and killed survivors. More...

There is a zombie outbreak, people die, the government bombs cites to stop the worst from happening, it happens anyway. Enter Sarah and David, zombie exterminators extraordinaire.
This is the second book of the series Living with the Dead. Think Dawn Of The Dead, only the heroes made it out alive. The survivors of the outbreak live in camps and the situation is dire. Sarah and David drive around in their truck, bitch at each other and pick up odd jobs from people who want some specific zombi More...

This is the second book in the Living with the Dead series by Petersen, the third book Eat, Slay, Love came out in July of 2011. This was another fun book in the series. The witty banter between Sarah and Dave, as well as the hilarious cultural references, made this very entertaining to read.

Sarah and Dave have started their own zombie extermination business. Things are going great and business is definitely booming. That is until rumors of a new type of an uber powerful bionic zom More...

Just like the first book (Married with Zombies) this book was a good, solid, funny, smooth read. I'd even say this one was better than the first. It manages to be both kind of making fun of the chick-lit genre and the zombie genre yet some how managing to be being kind of faithful to both.

I'm not exactly sure what I liked more about this... I do enjoy the post apocalyptic genre very much and this was solidly set while the first one took place at the very opening of the zombie outbre More...

The Zombie Apocalypse has meant the end of organized civilization, the loss of electricity, showers, and meals that don’t come out of a can or cardboard box. Oh yeah, and it has also rendered the majority of the world population as insatiable, flesh-hungry, shambling monsters. Despite the loss of creature comforts and the uptick in the undead population, however, life After Zombies has been pretty goo More...

Book 2 picks up a couple of months after where Book 1 left off. Sarah and David have taken their adventure to Arizona where Zombie hunting and killing has become a not so profitable business for them. Cash is not as important as it used to be. People now use a barter system. Food and ammunition and other necessities have become Sarah and David’s payment for their Zombie exterminating services. This installment in the series includes a new species of even more dangerous Zombies and of course we More...

FLIP THIS ZOMBIE, by Jesse Petersen, is the second book in the Living With The Dead Series. In the last book, Sarah and David discovered that zombies were taking over the entire West Coast. Now they are working as freelance zombie hunters. They come across a scientist who wants to find a cure but nothing about this man is as it seems.

My favorite zombie-hunting couple is back! This time they have taken their talents and are using them to their advantage. They set up residency in a surv More...

This is the follow-up to Married with Zombies, and continues Sarah and David's adventure through the zombie-infested West. I have to say, I didn't laugh nearly as much in this book - but to be fair, I am sick right now, so it could be that too.

Sarah and David see a note in one of the survivors camps claiming that "A Friend" has an interesting proposition for them. They go out to meet this "friend" and agree to take a rather unusual job - instead of bringing back More...

Goodness... Zombiebusters Extermination Inc? Seriously?! Oh well... to each his own. I'll probably have mine as Zombionic Annihilator Pte Ltd. What?! I want to make it sound professional too! Plus, I kill even the bionic ones.

Moooving on, Sarah and David - all of a sudden experts in this Zombie-killing thing, just puts me off. Before I wrote this review I asked myself, what is it really that I dont like about this book? I figured, its just that I dont want to be like Sarah. I just dont More...

After reading the first book in the series, Married with Zombies, I have been anxiously awaiting the second installment of the Living with the Dead series. I’m a big zombie fan, and I’ve always been a little bummed that so few people take advantage of the opportunities for humor where zombies are concerned. Possibly one of the reasons I’m so in love with these books is that they are funny, and there’s all the zombie stuff of course, but they have a certain mix of dark reality, humor and real p More...

In the first book of the series Living With the Dead, Dave and Sarah were forced to deal with the shock and horror of a zombie apocalypse - an event which, ironically, saved their marriage. This, the second book of Dave and Sarah's story finds them hip-deep in zombie mayhem (as usual) as they travel from place to place in their tricked-out SUV helping rid the world of the living dead.
But things are changing among the zombies: at first all Dave and Sarah hear are rumors, which they dismiss More...

Petersen's followup to Married With Zombies is just as fast-paced and funny as the first, which I highly appreciated. The books make for incredibly quick reads, though not for lack of plot or writing ability. Petersen has mastered the art of moving scenes, which some authors who attempt to write books in this genre get bogged down in. Her take on the actual zombies (and the infection) themselves isn't entirely original, but the whole "husband/wife team" thing is refreshing as it hits w More...

Man, what a disappointing follow-up to a rather enjoyable first book. I will admit that I did not finish this book, mainly because I simply could not buy the entire premise of a husband and wife team going into the zombine-exterminating business. I mean, what purpose does money serve if the entire fabric of society has been shredded? The author regularly contradicts herself with this very issue, in one sentence stating how these characters are able to loot any store or home they want to gather w More...

Flip This Zombie is set 3 months or so after Married With Zombies. That's 3 months or so of zombie apocalypse and Sarah and Dave's Zombiebuster's Extermination, Inc business is booming. Sometimes literally. But lately they've been hearing strange reports from their clients and also the folk in the survivor camp nearby. Reports of bigger and slightly more intelligent zombies. Alongside these reports, they've been given an offer by a scientist to catch him some zombies and suddenly they have a lot More...

Sarah and David return in this follow-up in the Living with the Dead series. They have survived the zombie apocalypse for approximately three months and they have become relatively comfortable with killing zombies. This deadly couple has gotten into such a rhythm that they have built a business, Zombiebusters Extermination, Inc., and they have have gotten a bit complacent. Sarah and David figure that if they have to live like this, they might as well take out as many gross zombies as they can.

I really enjoyed the first book so I had some high hopes for the sequel, and while I was kind of put off initially, it turned out pretty alright in the end.

"Flip this Zombie" continues where "Married with Zombies" left off -- Sarah and David, whose relationship now rekindled after a near-divorce, have started a zombie-exterminating business. But one particular client doesn't want zombies killed, he actually wants them alive. Thing is, he's a scientist. And he want More...

Another fun story, full of zombie goodness!

This book did feel a bit more serious than the first book though. Don't get me wrong, it has plenty of funny moments and enough zombie mayhem to satisfy even me, but the overall feel was a bit more intense than I had thought it would be. Not that this is a negative thing, I really enjoyed the story and love Sarah and David even more after finishing this book (David is my favourite of the two I'll confess). And as with every good zombie book, More...

"Flip This Zombie" is the second book in the 'Living with the Undead' series and although it's an enjoyable read it didn't have the same impact, humour and laugh out loud moments that were so much a part of the first book 'Married with Zombies'.

Somewhere along the way, this novel became a little too much like so many other zombie novels. It lost a little bit of it's originality and although Sarah and David still snark at each other and banter back and forth it isn't in the sa More...
