Never in a million years would I have thought I would actually anticipate a book about a zombie apocalypse, but Rachel Higginson has managed to pull it off the impossible.  I went into the first episode of Love & Decay with massive reservations and to be honest the ONLY reason I read it was because I am a huge fan of every other book that Higginson has written and thought what the heck, each episode is only .99 cents.  All I can say is that as long as Higginson is the one writing about the zombies, then bring on the apocalypse.Love and Decay is written like a tv series, with a new `episode' coming out every 2 weeks, which is awesome since we won't have to wait a year or more to find out what happens next like you would in many book series. (I have been waiting almost 20 years for the final book of the Night World series by LJ Smith...)  In Episode 2 we find Regan and Hayley traveling south to Peru with the Parkers in tow.  Now of course, in this zombie infested dystopian world things can't be too easy and we learn that not only do you have to watch out for the legions of brain eating undead but you need to watch out for the rest of the living humanity as well. Will this band of merry wanderers make it intact to Peru?  Which love will Regan decide to motivate her?  Well I guess we will have to wait and find out. There is more strong language then my conservativeness prefers, and I would love to share Page's 'cuss jar'. I would not recommend this book for children under the age of 13.
