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.

Rated 9/10

Fifteen-year-old Megan Berry is a Zombie Settler by birth, which means she's part-time shrink to a bunch of dead people with a whole lot of issues.

All Megan wants is to be normal—and go to homecoming, of course. Unfortunately, it's a little difficult when your dates keep getting interrupted by a bunch of slobbering Undead.

Things are about to get even more complicated for Megan. Someone in school is using black magic to turn average, angsty Undead into flesh-eating Zombies, and it's looking like homecoming will turn out to be a very different kind of party—the bloody kind.Megan must stop the Zombie apocalypse descending on Carol, Arkansas. Her life—and more importantly, homecoming—depends on it.

MY REVIEW
This is the first book in the Megan Berry series, I liked this book, it was lighthearted and funny. Made me wish I was that age again and that I actually was a Zombie Settler lol. Fifteen year old Megan Berry wasn't born your average kind of girl, she was born a Zombie Settler, someone who helps the dead settle their last wish and afterwards returns their body to their grave so they can rest in peace. But for the last 5 years her powers were dormant after a bad experience at the age of ten, that was until the night she is supposed to go on her first date with a popular senior. A zombie shows up at her door and in an effort to hurry it along so she could go on her date she messes up and has to take his arm back to his grave. There at the grave while trying to remember how to get the arm to go back into the grave she meets Ethan, an old friend and fellow Zombie Settler from before her bad experience 5 years earlier. Soon she has feelings for Ethan,but everything soon starts to go wrong,someone is using black magic to bring the dead back to kill people. Megan has her suspicions of Monica, also a fellow Zombie Settler. But things aren't what they really seem in Megan's life and she soon learns the hard truth about being a Zombie Settler,her past, and her present life.
