Because I simply can't stop watching the train wreck, I pushed through this book.
Overall verdict: The old "start with a mystery plot for a few chapters, and pick it up in the end chapters" is still alive and well. I wonder if maybe she should think about doing more short stories, because I think the main mystery plot (concerning zombie porn) and the subplot with the too-real zombie that she raises would have each made a good, strong short story, because that's about the amount of plot and attention devoted to them. The middle of the book is eaten up with the usual relationship/metaphysics stuff that most of us are just bored by. Plus, bad wedding planning stuff that doesn't advance that plot at all. The book also features the traditional 2-3 page epilogue at the end that ties everything up (but Anita didn't get knocked out this time, so progress!) but doesn't actually resolve anything. Parts of the book dealing with the FBI case appear to have actually been edited.
It's better in some places, and worse in others than the last one.

Like I said, some improvement, but not enough.
