Waiting on Wednesday – 7/21
Okay “Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine.
This week my Waiting on Wednesday book is: Kill the Dead(Sandman Slim, Book 2) by Richard Kadrey. I absolultely adored Sandman Slim..you can read my review of it here. The gritty anti-superhero attitude of Sandman Slim is wonderful and I am eager to get my hands on this sequel.

Synopsis from Paperbackswap.com: “What do you do after you’ve crawled out of Hell to wreak bloody revenge? If you’re Stark you turn to bounty hunting, tracking and decimating whatever rogue monsters you’re paid to kill. Stark hates the work, but he needs the money, especially the big bucks Lucifer is offering. In town as an advisor on a biopic of his life, Lucifer needs protection, and he wants Stark as his bodyguard. But the gig isn’t all bad; there is the very sexy, very hot French porn star Brigitte Bardo, a friend of Lucifer’s in LA to remake her reputation as a legit actress. While it isn’t love, it’s pretty damn good, and after 11 years of demonic chastity, it’s enough for now.
Stark has enough trouble juggling a diva devil and a scorching French bombshell without a zombie plague to complicate matters. And just what happens when a human-angel half-breed is bitten by the living dead? His human side begins to die, transforming him into an unstoppable angel of death—a killing machine devoid of emotion or thought, with no regrets or future to worry about. Not a bad way to be when you’re choices are limited. Now, Stark has to decide…if he does finds a cure for the zombie infection, will he take it?”
