Review: Great zombie story with other fantastic elements!

Episode 2 of Love and Decay picks up a week or so after Episode 1 ends. There's lots of great elements in this book:- zombies (duh)- humor & sarcasm; to break up all the monotony of the apocalypse- romance, including some nice love-triangle-y moments. I honestly want there to be more drama (WOW isn't that terrible of me?! Honesty is the best policy and all that, right?).- strong female lead(s); I think of both Reagan and Haley as being pretty kick ass.- great male characters. This group of brothers look out for each other, especially their younger sister. They all get along, for the most part, but there's some great "brother" moments. Did I mention they all sound incredibly dream? I don't have to smell them so I don't have the same issues as Reagan and Haley.- (what I think of as) a realistic setting and peripheral characters. Villains aren't just zombies - they're also other survivors.The only reason I took a star away, even though I loved this book, was because I thought it was a little cheesy...and I thought there would have been more action...BUT I do think the story made good progress so it was really the former reason.So without giving anything away - please go read this! It's a short story and completely worth the time!
