review 1: This book is a Paranormal Romance and usually I leave those to Voodoo Bride, but this one had zombies so I had to read it! And I can tell you it was a very satisfying read. The romance and action is nicely balanced and the zombies are my favourite kind: hungry for human flesh! There could have been a bit more zombie mayhem I thought (ok, I admit: it will be a strange day when I do not think so), but all in all the zombie storyline and the zombie action were cool and well written. Voodoo Bride really enjoyed the romantic storyline which was pretty smutty, but in a good way according to her so this was a great read for both of us. I will certainly read the next book in this series when it's released.
review 2: Aw, man. I had such high hopes for this one. When a b... moreook is described as a "zombie romance" how can you not? I thought this was going to be really campy/sci-fi movie bad but it was just bad. Story: Sarah Petit is a police officer in New York who goes to an empty warehouse to investigate a "disturbance" and is attacked by a gang of zombies. She survives and it is discovered that she is one of the few people who are immune to the military invented disease that turns people into zombies. Enter the very handsome Green Beret who is also immune and asks Sarah to help him head up his top-secret covert mission to destroy all things zombies. Yeah, because that happenes.First let's start with the cover, which I think is hysterical, but what a missed opportunity. Don't even get me started on the outfit. Well, OK, let's get started there. What cop DOESN'T wear a leather bustier and matching pants? And, hello, she's carrying a dagger. A dagger? For a zombie killing spree? Seriously? But how much better would this cover have been had Sarah's heaving bosom been groped by a leering zombie over her shoulder? Come on, that would've been gold.Plot aside, because it's so bad and not worth discussing. There were only 4 zombie scenes in the whole book and only one of them was a good one. My biggest problem with this book was all the romance. I know it's called a zombie romance, but I wasn't expecting so MUCH of it. Geez. Now I like a good sex scene as much as the next girl, but when the hero is (and I'm quoting here) "spanking her clit and announcing "I've got what this greedy pussy needs!" " well, even I was a little grossed out. Ewwwww. Way too many sex scenes and waaaay too much really vulger dirty talk.I've got to wonder how big the zombie romance market really is. A for originality, but don't waste your time, ladies. less
