Book Review By Michelle M. Powers
The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror by Christopher Moore

Christmas is around the coner and the small neighborly town of Pine Cove, California is full of spirit and spunk. When 7 year old Josh Barker witnesses Lena Marquez accidentally murdering her ex-husband Dale while he's in a Santa suit he believes Santa is really dead. He runs home and makes a Christmas wish that Santa be brought back to life. Raziel, the Christmas Angel comes to Pine Cove to fulfill the Christmas wish. Unfortunately, Raziel takes matters a little too literal and puts the town in danger from brain eating zombies.

Yet, there's more to this story than the homicidal undead. Right after killing her ex, a mysterious stranger and his pet bat walks into Lena's life (and helps her bury the body) and romances her.
