This one is fun, quick, and fits easily in a purse so you can carry it on a plane. I finished three books on my recent flight from east to Midwest, and I am terribly behind on reviewing them.
Earl and Duke are a vampire and a werewolf, respectively. They’re traveling along, broke and bored, when they decide to stop at a diner. The owner and sole waitress seems completely unfazed when a bunch of zombies break her front windows and shuffle in to attack them, calmly grabbing her shotgun and complaining about having to replace her windows again. Earl and Duke are intrigued, and when the diner owner offers to pay them to replace her gas line and get rid of the zombie infestation, they agree.
Throw in a ghost and a demon-worshipping teenager, and you’ve got yourself a rollicking little story. Earl and Duke have a theory that weird attracts weird, and it certainly seems to be true in this sleepy little town. Luckily, they’re used to weird, and take it all in stride. There’s nothing earth-shatteringly original here, but the writing and the story are fun and breezy.
