Angel Crawford, a high school dropout with a troubled past, finds her life irrevocably changed after a near-fatal overdose. Waking up in the ER with no physical injuries, she receives a mysterious job offer at the parish morgue. As she begins her new job, Angel discovers she has a new, insatiable craving for brains. Complicating matters further, a serial killer is on the loose, and the morgue is filling up with decapitated victims just when Angel is hungriest. To top it all off, she finds herself developing feelings for a hunky deputy. Angel must quickly adapt to her new undead life and solve the mystery of the serial killer before she becomes his next victim. /n/n The novel blends dark humor with the supernatural, offering a unique take on the zombie genre. Set in the swamps of southern Louisiana, the story combines elements of crime, romance, and the paranormal. Angel's journey from a troubled young woman to a zombie navigating the complexities of her new existence is both hilarious and heartwarming, making for a compelling and entertaining read.
