It was kind of refreshing to read an UF book that did not have kick-butt heroine (though she did kick butt a little, it was not her sole life's purpose). I was squicked by the fact that she's dating a zombie whose parts are healing/falling off and especially when they had sex; I think I threw up in my mouth a little. I'm more used to unemotional/terrifying zombies that want to eat you than ones that want to share their experiences and sleep with you. And yes, he does have to eat the long pig. Ugh. But that was the only detracting point of the book and it was a brief part of the book though Ti, the zombie, is in most of the book and probably the sequel (and he does seem like a nice guy. But. Ugh.).
