Nyx has never understood why she hated zombies, she just knew she did. However, during her job as a Night Tracker, half-Drow Nyx realized she saw her brother, a brother she didn't remember until the memories surfaced, taken by zombies. Just recovered from a massive vampire attack, Nyx is not ecstatic about dealing with zombies, but she would rather do her job than be shuffled out of the action like her boss attempts to do. While feeling out new allies, talking to high-mucky-muck seers, and trying to take a crash-course on zombie production, Nyx is also dealing with attempting to keep her all-too-human boyfriend while negotiating human social niceties with his family.

As always, this Night Tracker novel does an excellent job with characterization, humor, and action.
