Publisher's summary

The zombie apocalypse has been good to Sarah and David. Their marriage is better than ever. They communicate well, share responsibilities, and now, they're starting a business. ZombieBusters-for all your zombie extermination needs. There are lots of zombies and that means lots of customers...

Except one of them doesn't want the zombies dead; he wants them alive and ready for experimentation. Mad scientists make for difficult clients, and this time Sarah and David might have bitten off more than they can chew.

"[A] cute and gory sequel to September 2010's Married with Zombies." ( Publishers Weekly)

Featured Article: Mmmm, Brains...Satisfy Your Cravings with the 20 Best Zombie Audiobooks Ever


Zombies have been a potent cultural force for decades. Something about the concept of a ragtag crew of survivors facing off against endless masses of shuffling brain-munchers really seems to speak to people! There are hundreds, if not thousands, of zombie-themed stories out there. But which ones are the very best? And which zombie audiobooks will have you double-checking the locks and sleeping with a baseball bat next to your bed?

A wonderful follow-up! (no spoilers)

What did you love best about Flip This Zombie?

I went into this audiobook expecting a shoot-em-up with nothing more than "jobs" completed, and a little plot relating to the couples marriage, given the first book. What I got was that and so much more. Without spoiling it, I'll just say that Sarah and David end up doing a lot more than killing zombies and bonding.

This series is a refreshing addition to the zombie genre, and I'd recommend it to all those who seek rotting corpses getting their butts kicked (though I imagine kicking zombies in the butt would just be squishy and gross; I recommend aiming for the head)!

As good as the first one!!

Any additional comments?

I can't think of any way this book could be improved. I guess that says it all. Can't wait for the next one in the series!!!

Awful book.

This book is horrible, and I do not know why I read the first three in the series. The mediocre, predictable story is made worse in the telling. The character telling the story from a first-person perspective is one of the worst persons I ever met in real life or literature. This woman is immature, spoiled, obnoxious, and unrepentant of her bad behavior. She learns nothing and grows not an inch through the adversity. She thinks little of her reader/listener and constantly implies we are spoiled children who just don't know how good we have it because we do not live in a post-apocalyptic world. The performance is marginal and the editor failed to remove a misread sentence in the third book. I will not listen to further books in this series, and I do not recommend it.

Good, but not as good as the original

If you’ve listened to books by Jesse Petersen before, how does this one compare?

Since the first one introduced us to the characters, it had a lot more room to maneuver and to surprise us with new revelations. This one, while fun, seemed a bit forced to try and continue the schtick Petersen used to flesh out her heroine in the first book.

Not as good as the first book

I did enjoy this 2nd in the series - but it's no where as good as the first. We are introduced to a new "breed" of zombie here - but the reasoning behind it didn't make a whole lot of sense and the explanation was a little anti-climatic. This story was a lot less about survival in a zombie world and more about how the zombies came into being. The whole reason I love zombie fiction is for the stories of desperate survival of those living through it. In this book, our characters have the survival thing down pretty well so it's primarily about the interaction between our main characters and the mysterious scientist. Important Note: I believe you HAVE to read the first book to even slightly enjoy this one....there is little or no character development in Flip this Zombie....all of which was done in Married with Zombies. If you have already read the top Zombie Fiction books - then I guess it's worth a credit.

Nope

I don’t know why, but I’m listening to the series. I’m not impressed. The narrator is decent, but the characters, Sara(h) mainly, are beginning to annoy me.

2nd book in the series, even better than the 1st!

I highly recommend you read Married with Zombies first, however, this one is definitely better and more satisfying than the first.

Loving This Series

I usually am not a big fan of zombie stories but something about this series caught my interest and I'm glad it did. Between the flowing story line and the narrator's performance the time listening to this book flies by and, before I know it, the story is wrapping up and the book is finished.
