Zombies- as if that wasn’t enough to ruin any girl’s dream of a happily
ever after.
Reagan and friends have worked hard to survive Mexico. They fought warlords
and cannibals, slave traders and Matthias Allen. They fought and they survived.
Colombia is closer than ever, and with it their dream for a better, safer
life. But first they have to make it through Mexico City, a huge metropolis
rife with civil war, intelligent Feeders like they have never seen and danger
around every turn.
As Reagan’s wounds heal and the Parkers look to the future, their close
family is threatened yet again. But there’s more to life than fighting Zombies.
There’s more to their world than decay.
Love and Decay, Episode Ten is the tenth episode in Season Three 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...
We should have been more prepared, especially with our history. Truthfully,
we had actually tried to come into this city with guns blazing and our heads on
straight. We had game-planned and strategized. We had picked up as many weapons
as we could along the way. It just wasn't enough.
There was no way to prepare for this amount of carnage. Seriously. No way.
**
Once again, The Parkers and Reagan are venturing into a city full of
unknown and uncertainty. They are to find Tomas and hopefully, with his help,
get through Mexico City intact and unharmed as they make their way to Columbia.
Just when they think they are doomed for good...well, they just might be.
Three-fourths of this story is all out crazy. The stuff they see when they
reach the city is beyond devastation. It is by far the worst they have ever
seen before. It is just death upon death, dead upon dead. But the last fourth
of the book is where sweet overcomes it all. You fans of the series are going
to flat out love what comes in the end. Things happen that we haven't gotten to
appreciate in some time: love, romance, and being happy.
I do, however, think all the sweet is trying to make you forget the ugly
that is sure to come. We are living in the zombie world now and nothing is a
sure thing. If we have learned anything since the beginning, it is that.
I have said it before, I will say it again...this series is one of my
all-time favorites and I can never get enough. 5 Stars All the Way!

Zombies- as if that wasn’t enough to ruin any girl’s dream of a happily
ever after.
Reagan and friends have found sanctuary with Tomás. The cathedral offers
protection from Zombies and a place to rest and recuperate.
But what happens when the outside world follows you inside?
There is a greater hazard to the Parker family than Feeders and warlords.
The evil at the end of the world has sunk its claws into one of the brothers
and threatens to tear the family apart.
Reagan must decide what’s best for the people she loves and find them
safety, the kind that lasts. The kind of safety that will keep them together.
Love and Decay, Episode Eleven is the eleventh episode in Season Three 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…
Maybe there was something errantly wrong with me. Maybe I didn’t have the
ability to function in reality. Maybe the idea of a place to live where Feeders
couldn’t touch us and warlords didn’t try to sell us, where evil tyrants didn’t
hunt us and cannibals didn’t try to eat us, was too sweet to pass up. Maybe I
was too lazy and naïve to let my childish dreams go. Maybe I still believed in
love in this world of decay and happiness in a place that was rotting from the
inside out.
Maybe I still believed in happily ever after.
**
Reagan has come to realize it is time to pack up and move out. Mexico City
has been nothing but a nightmare for them and it is time to move on and put
some distance between them and this hell on earth.
This is one of those “Shake your fist at the heavens” episodes. One of
those “You got to be kidding me” episodes. Seriously. You got to be kidding me.
I am really not sure what all I can say or will be able to say. I don’t want to
give much away, but if you are current on the episodes you most likely know
what is to come. Prepare yourself now. Grab the tissues. Secure a good reading
spot. Ready yourself for the feels. This is one powerful and emotional read!
My heart is torn, the tears are flowing, and I am wondering if the group
will be able to recover from this mess they have found themselves in. 5
Heartbreaking Stars!
