Zombies- as if that wasn’t enough to ruin any
girl’s dream of a happily ever after.
On the heels of escaping Gary and his camp of
militia, Reagan, Haley and the Parker brothers are traveling south without a
car and not much in the way of weapons. Conditions are bleak, but they have
each other and they have hope.
When an unexpected thunderstorm hits and they are
exposed on the open road, the group must fine shelter in an abandoned barn. The
structure is crumbling and dirty but they are able to escape the worst of the
storm. Hoping to make it through the blustery night, they make camp and hope
for the best.
However, when a horde of Zombies follows them,
they realize how precarious their temporary lodging is and how unlikely it is
they will survive the night.
Now they must find a way to fight off the
aggressive Feeders while still keeping everyone alive. They are low on ammo,
fighting blind in the dark and struggling against the elements.
Reagan has come to care for this group too much
to lose someone now. But staying alive until sunrise feels like the hardest
task yet. She’s used to danger, killing and surviving; but nowadays she’s not
as concerned with her own life as she is with those that surround her.
Protecting those she loves comes with great cost, but it’s a fight she’s
desperate to win.
Love and Decay, Episode Three, is the third in 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...
As the crew slowly make their way south into
Arkansas (WHOO PIG SOOIE) they come across more aggressive zombies than they
have seen in the last couple years. Sure there have been rumors of these types
of zombies, but in this new world there is no way to know if these stories were
fact or fiction. Unfortunately it seems to be truth. Now, more than ever, they
are in need of transportation and more ammo if they expect to survive these
new, amped up, flesh eating monsters.
This episode of LOVE AND DECAY was an absolute zombie
bloodbath. Although we didn't get much zombie action in the 2nd episode, well,
Higginson makes up for it by bathing the entire story in guts and gore. Oh and
a bit of romance to help balance it all out. Ok, more than a little. Things are
definitely heating up between Reagan and Hendrix. I know I was blushing for
Reagan when she finds herself alone with him.
This is one series I am always eager to read.
When it is time for the new episode I am scouring the internet seeing if maybe
Higginson released it early. And after finishing this one, I am beyond excited
for #4. In #4 we will get Haley's POV. Holla! Love that girl and I dying to
know what it up between her and Nelson. Aren't you?
congrats to Marie on the new release! Thanks for sharing :)
