Holy crap, you guys! So. I have this adoration for Charlaine Harris' The Southern Vampire Mysteries. Those were the first paranormal books I ever read, and I loved them so much. Ever since, I've always been chasing that next book that will be the perfect read just like those were. Another thing I love? Zombies. (Thanks, Tracey Ward!) And Dead in Bed? It's like Bon Temps got invaded by zombies instead of vampires. Instead of going after brains, it's sex. Geez, I loved this book.Alright, the zombies in this story are so different than normal. It was really different, and I loooved it! I'll admit that I had moments where I didn't like the main character, Ashley. She made some crappy decisions. But by the end of the book, I understood them. She really is kickass, though. The scene with the pharmacy? I was cheering her on like there's no tomorrow. There are plenty of characters that you get to know in this book. I feel like Bailey did a good job at keeping them separate and writing them as individuals.There are a million twists and turns in this book. Every spare moment, I would pick up my Kindle to read a few more pages. I just had to know what was happening. The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. Bailey did an excellent job at pacing this book well. I never had a moment where I felt like the story dragged. Some of the reveals were expected, but the ways in which they happened still took me by surprise.All in all, I loved this book. It was something new and fresh, and I loved getting into it. Fans of zombie stories will find themselves lost in this new world!**I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. My thanks to Bailey Simms.
