Just finished Death Warmed Over, first novel in Kevin J. Anderson's "Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I." series, and have started "Stakeout at the Vampire Circus," the first novella in (and, apparently, loose prequel to) it. Pretty decent light reading, although I saw the big reveal in DWO coming several chapters early. Still, the humor's good, and it's always neat to see a recently-formed urban fantasy setting; in this case, the Big Uneasy that shifted the supernatural balance only happened a decade or so back, and our hero only died a few months ago. That gives him just enough time to get back into a routine, but not so much that he's really taking everything in stride. Plus, of course, the world's still getting used to supernaturals; the first novel features a cosmetics company trying to market a product line to them, with exactly the ham-fisted tactics and names you'd expect.
