Product Description
Megan Berry is a Zombie Settler by birth, which means she's part-time shrink to a whole bunch of semi-dead people with killer issues. All Megan really wants is to go to the homecoming ball, but when you're trailed by a bunch of slobbering corpses whenever you leave the house, it's kinda hard to score a date. Megan's convinced her life can't get any worse - until someone in school starts using black magic to turn average, angsty Undead into scary, hardcore flesh-eating Zombies - and now it's up to Megan to stop the Zombie apocalypse.

Format:Paperback
Fifteen-year-old Megan Berry thought that she'd been rid of the Settler gig forever. Ever since the zombies attacked her at the age of ten, she hasn't been expected to continue interviewing the regular, nonthreatening undead to help them settle their worldly affairs so they could quietly go back to the grave.
But now, dead guys are showing up on her doorstep again, and even though Megan's Settler powers have returned full-force, picking up the job she inherited from her mother is the last thing Megan wants to worry about. Homecoming looms, and Megan not only has to work on snagging a date with the most popular football player in school, but she also has to avoid confrontation with fellow Settler Monica so that she and her best friend, Jess, can make Pom Squad tryouts.
How is Megan supposed to work her way into Carol High's upper crust if dead people keep interrupting at the most inopportune times?
Homecoming grows even more unlikely for Megan when she learns that someone is using black magic to reanimate corpses into the flesh-eating variety. What's worse is that they seem to be targeting her, and Megan is having a rough enough time just trying to appear normal while easing back into the Settler business.
This unexpected attraction Megan has for the Settler Affairs officer who's been assigned to her case isn't helping much, either, especially when he starts creeping into every aspect of her life. Megan is going to have to work her hardest to figure out what's going on and keep her life in order, before being a Settler manages to destroy it.
This hilarious story has something for every girl who likes monsters, magic, mystery, and a little kick-ass action. I also found it to be an interesting take on zombies, and I look forward to seeing more of Megan in the promised second book.

The Story Siren Reviews:
26 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback
Stacey Jay made my first exposure to the wonderful world of zombie literature a fun one! I always think of Michael Jackson's Thriller video when I think of zombies. Not that has any significance for this review, but I just felt like throwing that out there, because that's how I kept imagining the zombies when I was reading this novel. I thought the whole Settler society was a very interesting and unique! And Jay does a remarkable job depicting it.
I was expecting a darker theme, but it ended up being lighthearted and funny. There's a steady dose of suspense, action, humor and romance which always makes for a good read. Megan is a typical teenage girl, I mean except for the whole helping the undead thing. But that is what makes You are so Undead to Me such a charming read!
I had no idea who the culprits were! Now that I know, I don't know why I didn't figure it out earlier, but I was just at oblivious as Megan! I love when a novel baffles me like that. Stacey Jay has written an impressive debut novel and I'm looking forward to reading more by her!

Cute & fun read!
19 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback
This is SUCH a fun and cute read!
Megan Berry is a Zombie 'settler'. Basically she helps the undead settle into the afterlife.
"Welcome to your after-death session. My name is Megan. May I have your name, last name first?" -Megan doing her opening spiel.
Megan has been out of the zombie settling game for 5 years, when suddenly- right before her date with Mr. HOT senior Josh- a zombie shows up at her door ringing the doorbell.
Here's the deal. Once the zombie tells the settler whatever it is that has them bothered enough to CRAWL back from the dead, then they are good to go and head back to the grave.
WICKED interesting twist on the whole 'zombie' thing right?
But zombies CAN be brought back by dark witchcraft and these particular RC's (reanimated corpses) are very very bad and very very dangerous. Someone is raising RC's... and now Megan's childhood best friend Ethan (who is insanely hot now) is back and has decided to be her "pretend" boyfriend in order to protect her from these rogue RC's.
Dude, I know right? I WILL NOT tell you who is behind raising the RC's, but you won't freaking believe it! And the end was full of so many wicked awesome twists that I cannot WAIT to start Undead Much!

Fairly Good
11 July 2010
Format:Paperback
This isn't the type of book that comes with any original material or an exciting storyline, but if you're into the woes of teenage life with a supernatural setting, this is your book. The first thing that hit me while reading this book was that it's very "Buffy" and also very predictable, but I must give Stacey Jay credit for her skill in giving me a "will they or won't they" feeling between Megan and Ethan up until the every end. I was as confused as Megan about Ethan's feelings about her and I have to say that Stacey really captured the feelings of confusion and frustrations of teenage love we all feel sometime throughout our youth, but with the exception of that I can't really say I enjoyed being with Megan while she dealt with balancing her school life and her settler duties. She came off to me as a bit spoiled and self-centered who badly needed to "grow up" and put her priorities in order even if she was kinda forced into this lifestyle. She was also very hard to root for when she seemed to put her social life WAY above things that obviously needed her attention more and came off as the girl you're supposed to hate while reading a story. I can't say I enjoyed this book very much, but I can see there being a target group of readers who would enjoy reading this book. I would place this story as a "good try" on Stacey Jay's part for a first book, but I think, along with Megan Berry, Stacey Jay's writing badly needs some growing up to do.
