Rating: 4 out of 5

Sheri is very protective of her younger sister and endures zombie hunting during the day and being inhumanely chained to a wall at night to make sure Dani is taken care of.  The man that has imprisoned her, Aleksy, finds her nightly storytelling relaxing and is a reminder to him that, although Sheri has zombie bite marks, she is still human.  The day may eventually come where Aleksy has to make a decision that ends Sheri's life, prevents the protection of Dani, as he succumbs to an existence of loneliness.This is a futuristic zombie tale that is full of actions.  The budding romance between Aleksy and Sheri is slow growing as Aleksy deals with those in the compound who want Sheri dead, and Alesky dethroned as leader of the cast out ones.  Sheri fantasizes about Aleksy but has a hard time distinguishing those feelings from the anger of being chained up and mistreated.  The zombies are few and far between but since the story is short they are the right proportion to the rest of the story.The writing is fluid and easy to follow.  I enjoyed the majority of the story.  The romance was sweet but would have been stellar had is not had an air of Stockholm Syndrome.Review Copy Courtesy of Entangled Publishing, via NetGalley, at no cost in exchange for an honest review.
