Zombies- as if that wasn’t enough to ruin any
girl’s dream of a happily ever after.
In the last two years, Reagan Willow has survived
Zombies, kidnapping, being held prisoner, more Zombies, car crashes, a
dangerous stalker, no showers and most importantly Zombies. Life is complicated
in the Zombie Apocalypse but Reagan is surrounded by friends that have become
family, a settlement she can trust and a man that would do anything to keep her
alive.
Last spring, Kane Allen tried to take Reagan away
from all those people she’s come to love so fiercely. She escaped, though, and
in the aftermath of that traumatic experience, she’s learning to live with the
guilt and consequences of her actions.
Life has moved on since Kane and his father
Matthias attacked the compound, but that doesn’t mean it’s been any safer.
On a routine supply-run, Reagan finds out exactly
how unsafe she is
Reagan may have survived Kane’s captivity, but
can she escape a Zombie ambush or retaliation from The Colony? Matthias
promised war, and he’s keeping his word.
The Zombie Apocalypse has never been so
dangerous.
Love and Decay, Episode One is the first episode
in Season Two of a novella series in a Dystopian Romance 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. Approximately 20,000 words.
My take...
It
was hard to believe in God when the world around me resembled hell so strongly.
But then there were moments like this. There were situations I survived when I
shouldn’t have. There were minutes added to my life that should not exist.
There were miraculous drives home in which a vehicle this beat up should not
have made it- but it did. And I did. I continued to breathe, to think, to live.
I continued to survive despite this decay, despite this horrid death that crept
into every part of my existence but my own life and the lives of those people I
loved most.

Oh
glorious day! I am thrilled beyond belief to be back in Higginson's wonderful
world of zombies. I was over the moon when asked if I wanted to read an ARC of
season 2 episode 1. Um, would riots ensue if Daryl was killed on The Walking
Dead? Hell to the yes! I jumped at the chance to read an ARC. I have missed
these people something fierce. Especially Reagan and Hendrix. Hallelujah! It is
about time these books returned!
****
Because
as much as Hendrix loved me. And the boy absolutely did love me… He wouldn’t
hesitate to put a bullet right into my temple if I happened to get bit.
And
that, my dear End-of-the-World survivors, was true, everlasting love.
****
Life
is somewhat better since we last heard from everyone. Meaning it is stable for
the time being. The threat of Matthias is still present. But life continues. No
one knows for certain if Kane is dead or alive. No one has seen him when out
scouting. But no news doesn't necessarily mean good news.
I
really wasn't expecting this book to be all that intense. I was actually
thinking that Higginson would just give us all a read that slowly got us back
into the groove of things in their zombie infested world. Kind of a 'here is what’s
been going on update' kind of story. Yeah, so not happening. From the start to
the very end the story was absolutely crazy. The story was intense (as usual).
And the story was amazing (as usual). I loved every minute of it and so glad to
be back with everyone again.
****
I
was the kind of girl that strapped on a semi-automatic, and a sawed-off and
blew the head off anything that tried to come near my man.
I
didn’t play homemaker. I played backup. That was the only love language I could
speak.
****
Another
must read episode to an all new season!! I am so glad it is back and give mad
props to Higginson for bringing it back with a bang!!
