Zeus Is Undead: This One Has Zombies by Michael G. Munz

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


4.5 stars really.

The world is recovering from the return of the Olympians. Adjustments need to be made - especially for those Olympians that Zeus is punishing by stripping them temporarily of their divinity.

Athena is one such punished. She's grumpy about that. Who wouldn't when you've been the bodyguard of the King of the Gods for millennia only to be replaced by a sentient Ice Cream Sundae?

But then the dead start rising and infecting the world (except for Australia). Seeing her chance to get back in Zeus' good graces, Athena sets out to find out what is causing the chaos, taking along with her Zeus' mortal daughter and her business partner.

Meanwhile, Cosmic entities are threatening Earth unless Zeus produces Hecate. But there's a slight problem as the goddess died in the previous book.

What are gods supposed to do but posture greatly, throw off great one-liners and hope something happens?

****************

I loved the first book and this book was just as good. I was constantly chuckling as I read it and sharing quotes on my Facebook page. It helps to have read the first book and I highly encourage that if you like humor mixed with irreverent mythology you should read both books right away.
