Four and a Half stars.Oh my! I wasn't expecting this book to be as funny as I found it. From the first page I was laughing. And it's not just funny - it's exciting, it's interesting and it's earth-shatteringly hot! ;-)The story starts with Jemma Finnegan, a woman with a plan, setting out to seduce her super hunk of a best friend of ten years - Griffin Trudeau. Next comes some delicious and literally earth moving kitchen lovin', the beginning of a zombie apocalypse and that's just the first chapter!From the start I loved the chemistry between Griff and Jemma. The comradeship of having been best friends for ten years was evident and the tangible sexual tension between the two was electric. I was rooting for them as a couple. And if I had any doubts of Jemma as a heroine they were wiped away when she tried to take down a zombie using a ThighBlaster.The secondary cast of Clarissa (the coven leader) and the other witches (Mrs Peach, Gloria) were delightful. I loved the banter and pop culture references they delivered.And Logan Scott? '[He's] the guy your mamma warned you about. 'The ultimate biker boy complete with the mirrored shades, barbed wire tattoo and snug jeans - I loved him. Normally I don't like any character that threatens the Happily Ever After that I desire but I loved what Logan brought to the story. The fact that he brought out Griff's jealous side... that is just a bonus!After finishing the book, I'm still a little unsure as to why the ménage à trois strengthened Jemma's magic but it was such an hot and steamy scene that I'll let it slide. I really enjoyed the creativeness of the sex scenes. And the humour that was present throughout everything.The witch/zombie/shifter storyline was exciting too - this book, whilst mostly is about the romance and the sex also has more too it - and it kept me guessing. I loved how Jemma grew as a character. She became the kick-ass heroine that her witchy ancestors (well... most of them) would be proud of.This is probably the funniest erotic romance that I've ever read. I am so excited about the next book in the series (which is out and I have already bought!) being about Clarissa and Logan. The little moments of those two were some of my favourite interludes in the story. I recommend this book for anyone who likes light hearted storyline and zombie apocalypses mixed in with their erotica.
