"Call them the splatterati--werewolves who always know what to wear, zombies with bodies to die for, and vampires who know their fang shui--just don't call them late when it comes to happy hour, or the drinks might be on you."
Book Description
Seattle. One minute you're drinking a vanilla breve, the next, some creepy old dude is breathing on you, turning you into a zombie. And that's just for starters. Now, the recently deceased Amanda Feral is trying to make her way through Seattle's undead scene with style (mortuary-grade makeup, six-inch stilettos, Balenciaga handbag on sale) while satisfying her craving for human flesh (Don't judge. And no, not like chicken.) and decent vodkatinis.Making her way through a dangerous world of cloud-doped bloodsuckers, reapers, horny and horned devils, werewolves, celebrities, and PR-obsessed shapeshifters - not to mention an extremely hot bartender named Ricardo - isn't easy. And the minute one of Amanda's undead friends disappears after texting the word, "help" (The undead - so dramatic!) she knows the afterlife is about to get really ugly.Something sinister is at hand. Someone or something is hell bent on turning Seattle's undead underworld into a place of true terror. And this time, Amanda may meet a fate a lot worse than death...

Original idea and great delivery,

This review is from: Happy Hour Of The Damned (Paperback)
Okay, so I admit it: a book with a heroine who eats people was not something I ever thought I'd enjoy. But I loved it! It was a rollicky ride that had me laughing out loud, even at the times when Amanda was, umm, eating. This tale is twisted and macabre and downright hilarious. Mark Henry straighforward style makes the undead, martini-swilling, fashion-conscious denizens of Seattle, umm, come alive. And Amanda is a fascinating heroine: a diva when alive and more so once dead, but she is a devoted friend to her supernatural pals and determined to help no matter what. You gotta love her moxy (even if her eating habits are a touch, um, ghoulish).Can't wait to pick up the next in the series: Road Trip Of The Living Dead

Hey, watch it with the blood! These Manolos are new.,
By Richelle Mead "Author Type Person" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Happy Hour Of The Damned (Paperback)
If you're like me, you've always thought that the hot, flirty action on Sex and the City was missing one essential thing: humans getting eaten by zombies. Finally, someone has breached the gap in that field of entertainment, and his name is Mark Henry.Happy Hour of the Damned follows ad exec Amanda Feral as she adjusts to life as one of the living dead, following an unfortunate slip in a parking lot. Amanda's a sassy, no-nonsense heroine with a taste for both quality fashion and human flesh. Her friends, vampire Gil and zombie Wendy, are fantastic, and the trio provides non-stop wit and banter as they unravel the mystery of what's happened to a missing friend. Mark's easy writing style captures Amanda's voice perfectly and makes this urban fantasy book hard to put down. If you like your humor a little dark and twisted, you've come to the right place--and you'll never look at Starbucks the same way again. 17 of 20 people found the following review helpful

Read This Book,
By Jackie Kessler "Demon Author" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Happy Hour Of The Damned (Paperback)
In case you missed it above:"Gruesome, ghoulish and utterly groundbreaking. Mark Henry is daring and scathingly funny." --Jackie Kessler I really, really enjoyed this book. It's dark and macabre, and seriously twisted -- which in my world makes it damn near perfect. Amanda isn't your average heroine. She's unapologetically biting -- both in her humor and her food choices -- and she's got a brutal fashion sense and a fine appreciation for booze. What makes the story really work for me is that Amanda is more than a well-dressed vehicle for a scathing one-liner: she changes over the course of the book. She grows, bless her dead little heart. Like I said, the humor is dark. If EVIL DEAD is your thing, I bet you'll love this book. 10 of 12 people found the following review helpful

By Todd Thomas - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Happy Hour Of The Damned (Paperback)
Notice that most of the other reviews are from really highly ranked, strong selling fantasy authors? That says a lot about the quality of this book. It's not only a fun read, but it's a well-crafted fantasy world that would be great to inhabit, except for the flesh-eating divas.
