Zombies- as if that wasn’t enough to ruin any girl’s dream of a happily ever after.
A vaccination gone oh so wrong and a huge portion of the world’s population was turned into Zombies. Reagan Willow is forced out of her home when her parents become casualties of the horrid Zombie Apocalypse. With the help of her best friend Haley, they’ve become somewhat of experts on surviving the dangers of a world thrust into chaos and decay.
Reagan and Haley are on a vague mission to find somewhere safe to live out the remainders of their terrifying life when they stumble upon the Parkers, a pack of brothers that seem to have the survival thing down in a much more efficient and successful way than Reagan could ever have imagined. They are also protecting their eight year old sister, Page, and will do anything to keep her safe.
The brothers decide that Reagan and Haley need help with being kept safe as well, and as a group they set off to find the Zombie-free utopia Reagan is dreaming of.
Zombies are a daily problem, constantly threatening the lives of their group, but they’re not the only peril on the journey ahead. Militia groups of power hungry men are also a constant concern. And settlements of paranoid, suspicious people turn out to be just as hazardous.
Danger looms over every inch of the way, but Reagan, Haley and the Parkers are determined to get to their goal and remain together. Soon the Parkers become more to Reagan than just traveling companions and more than friendship starts to develop between her and Hendrix, the second oldest brother.
But at the end of the world, nothing can be as simple as life and death. Now, Reagan is going to have to schedule falling in love between hunting and surviving. Hopefully she can last long enough to find out if true love can still exist when everything else has started to fall apart.
Love and Decay, Volume One, is a compilation of the first six episodes in a twelve episode season. It is a Dystopian Romance Novella Series about Zombies, the end of the world and finding someone to share it with.
This story takes place over multiple episodes, with a release date every two weeks. Each episode is approximately 20,000 words.

My mini take...
If you are reading this review you are probably
trying to decide if you should pick up this volume of books by Higginson. The
answer is absolutely! With each episode you get zombies, suspense and romance.
The perfect recipe for total awesomeness. You will be following the lives of
Reagan, Haley and the Parker family as they travel across the desolate U S of A
in search of a better life away from the hordes of zombies and those out to
cause evil since the government no longer exists. Once you are done with the
first episode you will be calling these characters family and will care about
their wellbeing. Settle in and kick back...this is one hell of a journey you
are about to partake in.

Zombies- as if that wasn’t enough to ruin any
girl’s dream of a happily ever after.
A lot has changed for Reagan in the few months
since she stumbled upon the Parker family. She has given up her isolated
vagabond lifestyle and along with her best friend Haley, made a permanent home
with the brothers and their sweet, little sister.
More specifically, Reagan has fallen in love with
Hendrix Parker, a man just as consumed with loving and protecting her.
Their love is tested time and time again as their
lives are continually threatened and put in danger, Zombies lurk around every
dilapidated corner and an uncertain risk follows them across state lines.
While the undead haunt their newfound happiness,
Matthias Allen and his obsessive son Kane remind Reagan and friends that
Zombies aren’t the only evil lurking in this new apocalyptic world. Kane is on
a mission to make Reagan his and take her back to The Colony, where his father
reigns as a tyrannical overlord and Kane is second in command.
While Tyler and Miller Allen adjust to life with
the Parkers, Reagan and Haley after their own escape from The Colony, the group
decides to set up camp at a safe settlement that offers them refuge.
But is anything truly safe at the end of the
world?
Soon they are surrounded by Zombies trying to eat
them, an enemy settlement trying to rip them apart and the internal, every day
struggles of trying to live together at the end of the world.
No matter the cost, Reagan refuses to give up
Hendrix, Haley and the others that she has come to love so fiercely. She will
fight any enemy, against any evil; she will do anything to keep her freedom and
the people that have become her life and everything she lives for safe.

Series about Zombies, the end of the world and finding someone to share it
with.
This story takes place over multiple episodes,
with a release date every two weeks. Episode One, Season Two will release
February 14th, 2014.
My mini take...
I see you are back considering volume 2 of the
LOVE AND DECAY series. As if you need convincing, right? You obviously read the
first one and now you are needing to get your grubby little fingers on the next
installment. That's ok. I understand. I feel your feels. This is one amazing
series and it is only right you finish it out. Lucky you, you get an additional
episode told in Hendrix's POV. And I was right earlier in my review of Vol 1
wasn't I? I told you that you would be calling these awesome characters family
and you are, am I right? Thought so. Come see if the crew make it out of this
season alive. You are going to want to get comfortable. Once you start you
won't be able to stop!
