Dearly Departed by Lia Habel

I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't like the cover. I think it's clever but it still wouldn't make me pick it up off the shelf, but then I don't tend to like covers with people on, especially people staring at me. I also still find it kind of confusing to have a steampunk theme set in the future with digital technology, but I am coming to terms with that and I think the history is very interesting. So, we'll see how it goes!

From Goodreads:

Love can never die.

Love conquers all, so they say. But can Cupid’s arrow pierce the hearts of the living and the dead—or rather, the undead? Can a proper young Victorian lady find true love in the arms of a dashing zombie?

In Dearly, Departed, romance meets walking-dead thriller, spawning a madly imaginative novel of rip-roaring adventure, spine-tingling suspense, and macabre comedy that forever redefines the concept of undying love
