Zombies- as if that wasn’t enough to ruin any
girl’s dream of a happily ever after.
Tyler Allen has been heartbroken more times than
she can count. Her family is full of psychopaths, the love of her life was
gunned down in front of her and she’s just rescued her little brother after her
father kidnapped and tortured him.
Tyler doesn’t think she can handle any more
grief. But how can she stop the pain when she feels as though she’s the reason
for it. She’s the reason everything she touches or loves dies.
The only thing she can think of is to not fall in
love again, not with anything. She’s built a wall around her heart and forced
herself to remain detached from everything and everyone. All she wants to do is
safeguard herself from more misery.
But she also wants to protect everyone else from
her.
If only they would listen.
The Parkers have forced themselves into her life
and she couldn’t help but come to care for them, especially Page. Reagan and
Haley have also become friends she respects and loves. But Vaughan Parker is
the worst of them all.
He doesn’t want friendship from Tyler. He wants
something more. And he’s not going to let her get away with ignoring all the
possibilities that could be between them.
Tyler knows she’s doing the right thing by
keeping her distance from him. Until that protective barrier is shattered and
he is able to show her exactly what’s she’s missing. He will not only ask more
of her than she’s ready to give, but he’ll show her a world of possibilities
she didn’t know existed.
Love and Decay, Episode Eight is the eighth
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...
This
world was ugly and dangerous. The people I loved were the people that damaged
me the most. And when I let myself begin to care, or come to peace with the
deep, genuine emotions I had for someone, they were always taken away from me.
And
they weren’t always given back.
**
Ah!
Were back with Tyler once again. I think it was a much needed break don't you?
After all, Hendrix needs a moment to cool down after the last episode. Reagan
needs time to sort out all her mixed up emotions. Yes, I do believe this is the
perfect time for a little break of sorts. Tyler is dealing with some major
feelings right now. Feelings she believes she has no right to. But Vaughan
isn't about to let her crawl back into herself after the glimpse he catches. Oh
no, he holds on to it and wants Tyler to hold on to it too. To see what he
sees. To feel what he feels.
Finally.
That is the one word that comes to mind when I read this episode. But even with
all the advancements between Vaughan and Tyler, it still doesn't make them an
automatic couple. Tyler has a past she needs to work through. Her first and
only love was taken from her and killed by her father. Tell me that isn't
enough to mess a girl up, am I right? She made Logan promises and she is not
sure her heart can take on someone else to love. It is going to take some time.
But at least she is heading out in the right direction for once.
By
the way, we get a second set of eyes on the whole Hendrix/Reagan debauchery. A
second opinion on what they did wrong. Tyler has ties to all parties involved.
So we hear what she thinks about Hendrix's rash decision, what she thinks about
Reagan's messed up views of Kane, and how she even feels about her brother and
mother. Kind of like a voice of reason in the whole Meltdown of Romance from
episode 7. It actually makes me feel somewhat better after the last episode and
gives me a glimmer of hope that Reagan and Hendrix will work it out. Just a
glimmer, but that is all I need. I think. I hope.
I
love when we get these changing of POVs. I think we can all agree (once
everyone reads this one) that is was a much needed change. As always, looking
forward to more of this series and what Higginson has in store for these guys.
I feel something big is about to happen, and I cannot wait to see it front row
and center. 5 Frickin Stars!
