On
December 21st men the world over woke up changed by a virus. Ice
blue eyes and a primal savage personality were the norm for them and women
everywhere were being brutalized, enslaved or outright killed. Maxine woke up
to a completely different Ricki, one who raped and bit her. When he left her
alone, she ran from her husband and no matter where she went he seemed to find
her though she managed to stay just out of his reach. Hooking up with other women
they find moderate safety in numbers, but it’s a temporary fix. Ricki will
never stop until he has her in his control. It’s kill or be killed and Max
isn’t sure she can lop off the head of the man she loved. When she meets Zee, a
man who is only partially infected, the last thing she’s looking for is hot sex
with a stranger, but it’s all she can think about when she’s around him. Or
even when he’s not there. She has enough on her plate already without getting
it on with one of the few men who doesn’t appear to be infected, but how do you
say no to raging hormones?
This
is an interesting twist on the zombie apocalypse in that instead of mindless
brain eating zombies of both sexes this virus only affects men who act as if
they’ve gotten amped up on steroids or something. They heal quick, have super
strength, senses and speed and most have been reduced to mere primal instinct
with little logical thinking or planning. When Max and her friends find out
there are actually men who aren’t infected they can’t believe it. A scientist
in a military compound with the other non-infected is trying desperately to
find a cure, but before he can do that the compound is attacked and they must
flee.
It’s
a great concept and this story would have been wonderful if it wasn’t so
choppily written. It also needs further editing. Trim a bit here, shade some there,
embellish a bit and fix some errors and you’ve got a top notch hot paranormal
read. The sexy steaminess is wonderful though. I could really feel the heat
between Zee and Max. Woo doggie! *fans self* Beware though, there is some
brutality in this and some readers may find it to be too much. In addition
there is some gruesome head lopping. It didn’t bother me, but I’m just sayin’.
All-in-all I enjoyed this tale and would definitely read more about this
strange new world.
Definitely a different sort of zombie, which is nice to see, but not sure it's for me.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting type of zombie, but definitely brutal in areas. Yeah, not for everyone. Though the sexy yummy scenes are *wipes brow* um, hot. ;)
DeleteI love the concept! Too bad it needed more editing, but it may be worth pushing past for those yummy scenes ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. I would hate for you to miss the yumminess! *fans self* The editing isn't too bad. Give it a go!
