2.) Aside from Vicky, who is your favorite character in the book, and why?
3.) When she did her guest blog here at BBB, Nancy (author of the book) had a quiz for readers to determine if they were being plagued by demons or a particular type. If demons really did exist, which would be the kind most likely to be bothering you?

Wow this book comes out and grabs you if it is like the review! Has anyone else here read it? If so do you rate it as high as the reviewer? Anyway it sounds like something I would like.
How do the zombies act?
Lisa,
YES! It is excellent. I actually enjoyed this one more than book one. And book one was really good.
Nancy’s writing style is really smooth and personable. The characters are really easy to relate to. She brings up some great social issues that paranormal creatures could face if they lived in our world and makes them plausible and real. They are really tapping into our own socioeconomic issues so you get a twofer but it isn’t preachy, it is just what it is. Down to earth, exciting and a thrill ride.
And I am so glad to see how the Love interest landed. eh he he
The Zombies act just like anybody else. Except the eat a TON of food. They don’t go into a blood lust (eating people) unless they see blood and then can hopefully be controlled. So, they aren’t totally gross or anything like you would think.
I haven’t read this series yet but do have both books in this series in my TBR pile.
I enjoyed book one more than book two. I missed seeing as much of the zombies in this book. But it was still a very good read. I really like Nancy’s writting style.
Well then the concenese is just like the reviewer! I’m putting in an order to Amazone. Does anyone else wonder why not as many people come to book chat like they used to?
Lisa, I do wonder about this, but it seems that so many people are crazy-busy these days, and this may just not be a priority.
Hi, everyone!
I hoped to get here earlier, but I was very busy with revisions to Bloodstone, book 3 in the series, which will be out in the fall. Bloodstone is set in Boston, so the zombies will be out in force.
Hi Nancy! Thanks so much for stopping by! I can hardly wait for Bloodstone — and what a cool title!
Hi, Carol!
I like Bloodstone as a title, too. I started working on the manuscript thinking of it only as “Deadtown 3″ (exciting, huh?) but when my editor asked for title ideas, I’d just been working on a section where a bloodstone was really important, and it seemed like it would fit well with the other titles in the series.
Nancy, can you tell us a bit about your interest in Welsh mythology, which plays such a significant role in the series?
