Zoe's adventures with the undead continue in New Orleans in the dazzling sequel to Shambling Guide to New York City...

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 new-found 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?

What Risingshadow readers think about this book

6/10

Ghost Train is darker and not as much fun as the first part of the Shambling Guides, which is a bit shame. There'd be so much potential on the characters.
Phil, Zoë's boss, is not involved in the story much, that was disappointment, since I really liked this "ordinary bloke" vampire at the first part. Arthur, Zoë's (almost zombi) boyfriend, on the other hand is in it -being a total twat!

We are handed a handfull of new god's, demons and characters at New Orleans and of course Zoë's stumbling in the middle.

So maybe not us fun, but entertaining enough to wait for the 3rd part of the series.
