Dead City series.
While on assignment for secret zombie-policing society the Omegas, Molly (Dead City) and her team uncover a plot to zombify New York's citizens. Molly also discovers that her deceased mother (a legendary Omega member herself) is actually undead and watching over her family. With its likable, science-minded heroine; lots of action; and light banter, this fast-paced mystery is more romp than horror story.
