I enjoyed this unique twist on paranormal romance. The story is nicely paced and well balanced with real heat and sensual storytelling.It's easy to get the sense of a world in breakdown as Evan and Sadie are the only ones left with any heart. Even a near apocalypse doesn't stand in the way of an unlikely love blossoming. Unlike most stories with vampires and werewolves, the zombie-like Sadie is only monstrous because she's been outcast by those who fear the epidemic.Amid the storytelling, we get intense bursts of erotic revery. It's slow burning at first, but once it hits, it comes hard - probably because Cerys du Lys has thoroughly introduced us to her characters and their dark trials.Shifters and vampire covens will always reign in paranormal romance, but I'm grateful for stories like these. If you want a lighthearted take on undead love and something different from the standbys in fantasy romance, then look here!
