Book Reviews of Happy Hour of the Damned

Book Review: Ghouls Night Out!
Summary: 3 Stars

There's a lot of flaws in this book, but for all of them -- a flashback that would have worked better if it had been broken up into segments and paced throughout the book, more expletives than was really necessary, a mystery plot that gets itself lost -- the characters are a riot! Amanda Feral, the foul-mouthed fashionista turned ghoul debutante, makes me, by turns, want to blow her empty little ghoul head off with a "boom-stick", and laugh out loud at her quips.

This is definately urban fantasy chick lit, or a playful satire of chick lit. Jim Butcher's "Dresden Files" it isn't, so come prepared for a froofy plot with a lot of naughty innuendo, ghoulish black comedy and gleeful gruesomeness. The world-building is what really saves this book: who'd 've thunk sexy zombies might lurk in our midst, clubbing crazy-themed clubs with their fellow preternaturals?

Summary of Happy Hour of the Damned

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 hellbent 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...

Advance praise for Mark Henry and Happy Hour of the Damned!

"Sexy, funny and twisted. You've never read anything like this!" --Richelle Mead, author of Succubus On Top "Dark, twisted and completely hilari

ous. I loved this book!" --Michelle Rowen, author of Lady & The Vamp

"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." --David Sosnowski, author of Vamped

"Happy Hour of the Damned - is it a comedy? An urban fantasy? A whodunit? Who cares! Mark Henry's written such a clever and engaging story that fans of any genre will totally adore it. Amanda Feral is the freshest, funniest character to come out of fiction since Bridget Jones and my only regret is she's not real and we can't go out for drinks. (Because, really? Zombies are the new black.) In short? I loved this book!" --Jen Lancaster, author of Bitter Is The New Black

"Happy Hour of the Damned blends the hilarious narcissism of Seinfeld with Night of the Living Dead. Who knew skincare-obsessed zombies were so much fun? I couldn't read this book fast enough." --Jeaniene Frost, New York Times bestselling author of Halfway to the Grave

"More brisk, batty, raunchy, and catty than a room full of cougars with a margarita machine. Happy Hour of the Damned is funny as hell." --Cherie Priest, author of Not Flesh Nor Feathers

"Gruesome, ghoulish and utterly groundbreaking. Mark Henry is daring and scathingly funny." --Jackie Kessler, author of The Road To Hell
