I was so excited to see Ms. Schnyder is continuing to write stories in this crazy zombie filled world she created. She has a knack for writing tight short stories filled with rounded characters, interesting storyline, and crazy action. I really enjoyed book 1 in this series, but felt there was so much more about this world she created we didn't get to see. I was so glad to see this story and the fact she is already planning book 3! Awesome!Half Banshee and half Berserker, Sorcha has been sent to investigate why the fae of London were disappearing. She comes to the mortal world to see zombies roaming freely and attacking a brownie. While she has the means to dispatch souls and help them cross, she has no power to save the lives of the wounded. Lucky for her Kayden, a were-leopard, is out hunting when he catches her scent. Kayden brings her to the werewolves and a shaky alliance is formed. Sorcha can sense a fae is involved and welcomes any help in uncovering the culprit.I appreciate that this story is NOT a rehashing of the first nor is it the same type of story, just different character names. No, Kayden and Sorcha are so incredibly different than Maisie and Seth.Sorcha is awesome! She is not human and doesn't think nor act like one. She is a battle-honed warrior, carries more blades than a castle's arsenal, but still has compassion. Kayden mused at one point that he "wasn't about to take her to bed without a thorough weapons check." What a thing to balance, yet it totally works. I loved how Sorcha is totally out of her element in her social interactions, yet we see how much she grows--and it all came naturally.Kayden is a hottie, and he knows it. He's a solitary cat who isn't really a team player and used to doing his own thing. He is very resourceful, smart, and strong. He is a perfect match for Sorcha's banshee and berserker nature. He never tries to do things for her, but truly becomes a partner letting her do her thing and him his. He loves how she is a killing machine. He has his own issues to work through and we see him grow through the story.Again, the story was fast-paced and action packed with great characters and a mystery to solve. I was very happy to see on the author's website that she already has book 3 planned--I'm looking forward to reading it and will be downloading it on release day.London Undead SeriesBite Me (London Undead)Sing for the DeadSurvive to Dawn
