Undead Much? by Stacey Jay

Author: Stacey Jay
Reading level: Young Adult
Publisher: Razorbill

Rated 9/10


Megan Berry—Zombie Settler extraordinaire—just wants Pom Squad to trounce Cheer Team in this freakishly funny follow-up to You Are So Undead to Me. But someone's turning coma victims into settler-resistant über-zombies—and everyone thinks it's Megan's fault! Well, except for super-creepy male cheerleader Aaron. (Ew!)

Meg's also being stalked by a hot—albeit undead— seer named Cliff. Can Cliff's premonitions help Megan stop a zombies-on-ice deathscapade and discover who's really behind the coma-killer crusade before an entire army of undead rise up? And when Megan's boyfriend Ethan grows jealous of Cliff, will it end their intra-settler romance?

Stacey Jay's snarky teen-speak is “dead”-on and hysterical! Ally Carter better get used to the smell of grave dirt . . .


MY REVIEW
This is the second book in the Megan Berry series and it is awesome. I hardly ever say this but this book is better than the first one, and the first one was pretty awesome itself. It definitely left itself open for another book and I can't wait to read the next one that Stacey Jay has for us. Megan Berry isn't your normal sixteen year old girl, she's one of the most powerful Zombie Settlers alive. She's dating her old childhood friend, yummy 19 year old  Ethan. Things start to go bad when people who aren't even dead but in comas start to come to life and thirst for human blood and Megan is blamed for it because of reasons she doesn't even know. Her mom seems to be keeping secrets and acting strange. Then there's super cute Cliff who happens to be dead, for reason unknown to Megan she's can't settle him and put him to eternal rest and he seems to be following her. She soon has feelings for Cliff and keeps him a secret from everyone and learns of Cliff's visions of the future. Meanwhile at school while Megan's life is being turned upside down she has to deal with raising money and beating the cheerleaders for halftime rights in the new school gym. And then there's creepy, get in your personal space cheerleader Aaron who seems to be all touchy feeling with Megan wanting to always get her alone. Megan starts to also realize Monica is not the total witch she always thought she was and maybe they can be friends. Monica is convinced of Megan's innocence and doesn't believe for a second Megan dabbled in any dark magic to raise zombies, even if nobody else seems to believe it.
