Combining the classic tale of Scheherazade with zombie horror was a brilliant move, appealing to both the zombie lover and the bibliophile in me like nothing else could have. Perhaps a library isn't one of the first places one might go during a zombie apocalypse, but I loved that it was high on the priority list for Sheri (and in some ways, Alex) to gather books along with other, more immediately needed supplies.The flashbacks, rather than being distracting as I usually find them to be, blended in perfectly with the story to develop both Sheri and Alex's characters, and though there's only one love scene, the tension between Alex and Sheri is there from the very start.My only one real issue with this story was the lack of Happily Ever After, though admittedly, the somewhat uncertain ending fit in with the bleak and uncertain atmosphere of the world that these characters lived in.Recommended for fans of enemies to lovers, protagonists with tragic pasts, and thrilling zombie action.4/5 Stars{I received this title free of charge from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.}
