Review: Has potential, but not what I was hoping for.

This was an interesting zombie romance that had a lot of potential, but kind of fell short. The zombie part was great, the romance part was pretty good, but the storytelling part kept pulling me out of the overall story. I know that it was supposed to be a part of the romance, but I didn’t really feel like it contributed as much to it as I think it was supposed to. In fact, any time we got brought into story time, whether it was with Alexsy or when Sheri was remembering her life before meeting him, I kind of wanted to skim through the stories.Aside from the stories, I thought that Sheri was a very compelling character. She was tough, mouthy and seemed to be immune to the zombie plague. Although, it would have been interesting to see if she was a carrier, I liked knowing that she had been bit and hadn’t turned. Alexsy was a little less interesting as I don’t really feel like he was fully formed. We had bits and pieces of him, but didn’t really know all about who he was and how he came to be in charge of the compound. Together, they had sizzling chemistry and I’m glad that we got to explore that in this short story.Arc provided by the publisher via Netgalley
