Publisher's Summary
Could you find a museum for a monster? Or a jazz bar for a jabberwock?
Zoe Norris writes travel guides for the undead. And she's good at it too - her newfound ability to talk to cities seems to help. After the success of The Sbambling Guide to New York City, Zoe and her team are sent to New Orleans to write the sequel.
Work isn't all that brings Zoe to the Big Easy. The only person who can save her boyfriend from zombism is rumored to live in the city's swamps, but Zoe's out of her element in the wilderness. With her supernatural colleagues waiting to see her fail, and rumors of a new threat hunting city talkers, can Zoe stay alive long enough to finish her next book?
Critic Reviews
With really interesting restaurant recs and sightseeing suggestions, and unusual (to say the least) takes on the Statue of Liberty and Grant's Tomb, it's got everything you need to know for the trip of a lifetime--or longer! And with the smart and intrepid Zoe to show you around, how could you possibly get in trouble? I give it 5 Michelin stars and 8 Zombie Planet Thumbs Up (with real thumbs)!"Well-written and immersive...a travel series you'll definitely want to stick with.If Buffy grew up, got therapy and found a real job, it would look like this.

Dropped
I enjoyed both books but gave this one a low rating because the series was dropped with no closure.

Narration could be better, but that's a quibble
Another quirky adventure for our editor. I want to see more of Anna, no pun intended. This ghost kicks butt. She starts out so demure, but turns out to have an interesting story and a lot of chutzpah. I really hope this isn't the last of the series. It's been fun so far.

Not as good as first book
I like the narrator and many of the characters. But this one didn’t have the fresh quirky appeal of the first book.

Want more!
I primarily read fantasy so many of the stories can seem redundant. Not so with Ms. Lafferty’s work. She’s come up with some quite original ideas and I’d really like to see where they go from here. I love the excerpts for the travel guides. They’re entertaining and well thought out for traveling as a supernatural being. Very clever. Would also like to hear these books narrated professionally to really see these characters come to life.

Fun
Really liked the book. Mur Lafferty is always enjoyable and a good narrator. I thought the first book in the series was a little bit better. Looking forward to seeing the next.

Good story
I enjoyed the story and the concept. But the author shouldn't read it. Not enough change in the characters from her voice. The author can be a bit monotonous
