Review from Meghan

on Zombie Models

Neither one of these lovely young ladies 

could have imagined what their day would 

end up being like as they headed to Excited 

Modeling on Lincoln Street that morning.

I actually thought this would be a separate story 

from the first and, while reading Zombie Housewives, 

I was racking my brain thinking of all the ways the 

models could turn into models: same brand of tainted makeup, 

hair spray, tanning lotion, etc. Turns out it is a continuation, 

like a second chapter in a novel, but still good. 

According to the book description on Amazon, this is a 

"stand-alone" novel, but I really don't feel like it is one 

because, without the first book ("chapter"), 

you have too many questions as you read through this one.

I'm actually curious to see how far this story can go and 

would like to see this series go further.

Review from Bookie Monster

Zombies!!  Ahhhh!!  In this novella we see a brief glimpse of three, very bored, very unhappy, housewives in suburbia.  Who knew that doing the dishes could be hazardous to your health?! I may never hand wash dishes again!

After each of them has an argument with their husbands, they wake up the next day thinking it’s just going to be another mundane dayin the neighborhood.  But each of them is afflicted with strange symptoms and decide to head to the local clinic to get checked out….this is where the real fun begins!  And just because they are zombies doesn’t mean they’ve forgotten how bored and unhappy they are in their lives.

This is an extremely quick read and thoroughly enjoyable.  It’s not a dark zombie tale of survival; it’s a snippet into the lives of these three women once they come down with a strange virus that turns them into zombies.  Don’t go looking for anything deep and philosophical here because you won’t find it.  But, if you are looking for a quick, enjoyable read… this is your story!

The ending leads you right into it’s zombie sequel… Zombie Models.

Life - and marriage - isn't perfect, especially for 

these three women. That night, when they were 

arguing with their husbands, neither could have 

foreseen the next day being much worse or how 

bad that "much worse" could be.

The description of the problems in each house

 were well written. And pay attention - if you do, 

you may figure out what the cause is before the story tells you.

I found this story to be quite funny. Don't know

 if I was supposed to, but I did. It was a fun short read. 

I want to say "cute," but that can't possibly be the right 

word for a zombie story, could it?

Review:

Zombie Housewives is a New Adult thriller

 about three frustrated women who contract 

a virus which turns them into zombies. 

Sounds like a typical zombie tale, right?  

Well, don’t misjudge this short novella 

because of its length or subject matter. 

This is not “Walking Dead”. It’s chock full of surprises

 including fascinating characters who will tug 

at the inner angst of most female readers.

Think Desperate Housewives with rotting flesh. 

Campy, fun horror. Zombie Housewives is an 

interesting tale, well written with snappy dialogue. 

If you take the “zombie” part out, Ms. Blackwelder 

has penned a great story about life, forgotten 

dreams and flat relationships. And, of course, 

learning to deal with a less than attractive skin disorder.

Zombie Housewives is not thought provoking, nor 

do I think it was intended to be. It IS a fun read for

 that short time when you’re waiting at the doctor’s 

office or in the carpool lane. If you like it, 

don’t miss the sequel, Zombie Models
