Ghost Train to New Orleans by Mur Lafferty

First sentence:

"Zoë Norris would have rather had a root canal than conduct this interview for a new writer."

Description:

"Zoë Norris writes travel guides for the undead. And she's good at it too -- her newfound ability to talk to cities seems to help. After the success of The Shambling Guide to New York City, Zoe and her team are sent to New Orleans to write the sequel.

Work isn't all that brings Zoë to the Big Easy. The only person who can save her boyfriend from zombism is rumored to live in the city's swamps, but Zoë's out of her element in the wilderness. With her supernatural colleagues waiting to see her fail, and rumors of a new threat hunting citytalkers, can Zoë stay alive along enough to finish her next book?" -- from the back cover

My thoughts:

I enjoyed this sequel to The Shambling Guide to New York City. I especially liked the Ghost Train with the ghost train robbers on horses galloping along beside it!
