When he offered me a cop of his Zombie book, I jumped. I mean HELLO ZOMBIES!!! LOL Well if you like Zombies like me I am sure you would have jumped too.<br \/>\nSO our heroine wakes up and is told her new After Death name or New Life name is Winter. She is kinda confused and not really sure WTF is going on. She is \u201cremade up\u201d to fix damage from her \u201cdeath\u201d and sent on her way. She doesn\u2019t get along very well with her reaper and is really confused. She decided to try and re-end her life but meets tall dark and also handsomely dead Grimsky. HE is trying to help her understand their world when she is met with another issue\u2026..a HUMAN who is taking shelter in her home. Now some of you zombie haters can stop worrying because Winter and her peps don\u2019t eat Humans\u2026ERRR Or do they??? Moving along\u2026..We then meet even more new characters like the undead queen and her army of the brainwashed undead\u2026..Shesh it was a crazy cast of characters who kept you laughing IE Winter picking her finger nail off accidentally to GAPSING IE The undead army bowing to Winter\u2026\u2026<br \/>\nThis book at times is so silly and fun but then after you read it your like WHOOOOOO\u2026..seriously that is not joking but RL matters\u2026.It makes you look at things in a new perspective while touching on it in a light fashion. I mean who knew Zombies could teach me a lesson????<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6153\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6153\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png?resize=231%2C55\" alt=\"about the author\" width=\"231\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Daryl Banner is a writer and composer who graduated from the University of Houston with a degree in Theatre and Psychology.
