First, let me say that I actually stumbled upon this series on accident. I was looking at the freebies to post on the blog so we could all get our "Guilty Free" One-Click on. I found episode one for free and checked it out...well, man oh man am I happy about that.This is such a great, fun, adventurous read. I am a big fan of zombies, thanks to my husband having an abnormal love for them (I think he wants an actual Zombie Apocalypse to happen). I have seen all the movies and shows, from the cheesy blood spurting in an unnatural funny way and a strange color to Zombieland and The Walking Dead which YAY starts this coming weekend.This first episode sucked me right in from the first sentence. We have two young girls who are doing everything in their power to survive this zombie outbreak. They have so far survived two years on their own and have an awesome sense of survival for such young girls.The story is told in Reagan's POV. She was a high school senior about to graduate when the zombie outbreak started. She lost her parents in the beginning so she was forced to take care of herself from the start which to me is surprising since she was a popular, cheerleader type who even dated the qauterback...until he decided to try to eat her...OH MAN does that suck.Reagan has been traveling with her best friend Haley. They have this relationship that rocks. To trust someone else with your life the way these to do is so great. They were such strong young girls...I love it, they weren't these little girly girls that were helpless."There was plenty of food for the bastard in the room he was in now, but I knew he would be able to sniff out our live, fresh flesh in the next two minutes and that was like the difference between prime rib and an old, moldy hot dog."After a really funny analogy on how things happened, the story starts to really take off. While in a department store raiding the jean racks and of course make-up, hey, a girl still needs her eye liner even in a zombie apocalypse, they find themselves surrounded by super hungry zombies and only a small amount of ammo left......enter the Parker Brothers.Whoa boy did I love these guys from the start. We have Vaughn, Hendrix, Nelson, King, Harrison and the little sister Page. Yes, those are their names and I love it. All Rock legends. This is a close knit family that trusts no one. They know how to survive, they protect each other with a fierceness that you would be stupid to try and mess with. Plus....the older ones are pretty hot."Hendrix, in the short time I had known him, was clearly the life of any party. He was like the black hole that sucked all the fun out of the room. "Oh Hendrix. I am completely in love with him. He is so serious, so tense. I wanted him to be MINE the second we met him. How this girl is able to control herself and how long not seeing anyone this hot...is beyond me. I would have been ALL OVER THAT.While yes, this is a short read of less than a hundred pages, we learn a lot and get to know the characters. They are instantly faced with normal zombie issues and their strengths and trust are put the test...this was a great start to a great series....ON TO THE NEXT!!
