Here we are. I really liked the first couple of books in this series and then stuff started to go down extremely fast. So what's wrong with this series now?
Angel and Phillip are starting to have rot that doesn't go away with extra brains, just as Dr. Nikas and Pietro are kidnapped by the enemy faction of the Saberton Corporation. So it's up to Angel and Co. to get them back.
The thing about Angel was how she had glaring issues. She wasn't educated, wasn't some kind of super genius or a gigantic soldier to kick all asses. Angel was Angel, the type of person who did what she could and winged the rest. Wasn't always enough, it never is, but hey. You could feel for her in a way. Many people disliked her based on many factors and that was fine, nobody is universally loved by everyone. Men also weren't constantly all over her, because again, that's just a stupid book cliche that I hate.
What changed? Everyone fucking LOVES Angel and she constantly gets chances to do things she is in now way qualified to do. When she fucks up they just explain it away, because meh, Angel is just so amaaaaaazingly cool we can't stay mad at her. The cool characters worth caring about all automatically love her and will yaaaas kweeeen her to hell and back (like Naomi, Jane, Dr. Nikas, Dr. Leblanc). At this point even all the eligible men are all over her ass, from Randy, to Marcus, to Nick, to Phillip.
They also do this very premature and stupid thing. When a character in media is consistently very typical in a way people are like “that's so X”. You know. Like freaking... Naruto (I'm sorry, this is a stupid example) behaves in a certain way and says certain things consistently for 15 years or so, so people can remark on certain things being typical Naruto. But here the character who have known Angel for like a year all act like she has her big things and something is like SOOOOO ANGEL. Excuse me? Other than being rude she never does anything that special.
The whole thing lost its touch. Other than the “Angel is wonderful effect” we have the problem of this book being some sort of a weird spy thing and doing extremely badly at it. Why are we wasting pages upon pages on the characters shopping for supplies at Walmart for the roadtrip? Who the shit cares about them eating pizza at the hotel? Also, the typical super girly makeover which is a must for some reason, though it is boring.
The pacing of the thing is bad.
At this point I'm done with the series. It's not a fun thing anymore, but devolved into a typical, boring thing that tries to sell a heroine to us who is simultaneously super normal, boring and relatable, but also super popular, good at everything and at the top of every single thing.
Good night and hope I find something to read that's not trash!
I just love these books! Angel is finally adjusted to being a zombie, or so she thought. More and more things keep happening to her that she has never had to deal with. Zombies are missing, her and Phillip are having issues with their new treatment, Marcus wants to move, and there appears to be a mole. On top of that, Nick is no longer a prick!? Non-stop action, with some humor thrown in, make this a wonderful series.
“How the White Trash Zombie Got Her Groove Back” is the fourth book in the white trash zombie series. The story continues on from the previous novel. In this novel Angel is caught in the start of a war between the Saberton Corporation and the zombie mafia. Which is started when Saberton is abducting zombies, which includes Angels friends. Angel goes on a mission with the zombie mafia, to save the abducted zombies.
The beginning of this novel was slower than the first three, but near the end the novel did pick up, and was more exciting. There was some great female friendship between Naomi and Angel. I enjoyed this novel as much as the previous three, but Angel at parts was a bit annoying. I gave the novel a 4.5/5 stars.
