Undead Much by Stacey Jay
5.0
A somewhat satisfying sequel to You Are So Undead To Me. The first book was more amusing and light-hearted while this novel seemed to have so much things going on at once and definitely more serious.
The plot had a ton of suspense, I'll admit, but it seemed like it was dragged on forever and ever. So many hints, so many clues, but no real concrete information until the last quarter of the book or so. And that's when I felt like everything happened at once. Kidnapping, the creepy ass ritual, the culprits, relationship issues, etc. etc.
The characters, Megan, Ethan and even Monica was a delight to read about. Megan is still the likable character and you can't help but cheer her on. However, I have to say, I feel like she was really gullible and highly unsuspecting. She couldn't really tell who to trust and who not to trust except for the obvious. So it was slightly annoying to see her being friendly with the slightly disturbing and ultimately, creepy as hell, dude. And Ethan, as always, is worthy of our swooning. He's perfect. Nothing to say. And it's interesting to see Monica's more humane side instead of her always seemingly snarky attitude towards Megan.
The ending is a huge cliffhanger. So disappointing, really. Especially since there has been no news if there's another sequel to this series.
Overall, Undead Much is somewhat satisfying but there's just that whole excessive tension thing going on that bothered me.
