Deadtown by Nancy Holzner

4.0

Victoria Vaughan is a demon-killing shape-shifter in a world where a virus accidentally killed, then re-animated much of downtown Boston. Don't worry, reader, the zombies are all perfectly nice paranormal americans. However, the norms are all terrified and have set up an encampment called Deadtown around the virus-affected area. All paranormal americans (PAs) have to live in Deadtown, and most don't have any civil rights in America, such as voting, to better the situation. I can definitely see this enriching the series.

I find her politician/lawyer/werewolf boyfriend kind of annoying, but I dig the character Vicky. She's very much a female Harry Dresden, and this first book in the series shows just as much promise. Check it out if you like the Dresden Files.
