Lust After Death is my second zombie book. The first one has a review posted later on this week. Let's just say that Daisy Harris has successfully shadowed that other book. This book was all kinds of wow. I enjoyed every minute of it...as seems to always be the case when I'm reading a Daisy Harris book. Lust After Death is like taking The Terminator, Weird Science and ZombieLand and merging them all into a sexy, adrenalin filled romp into awesomeness.The fact that it was a zombie romance kinda of shied me away at first. I mean how sexy can necromancy be anyway? Heh. Well, I was wrong. Besides Daisy's zombies aren't exactly what you would think of when picturing a typical zombie anyway. These were people who have died and have been brought back by way of computer. They can network and mainframe and all kinds of other geeky stuff with each other. They still have feelings and memories if their hard drives haven't been wiped clean. Can you imagine being hooked up to Google though? All the stuff you could learn in an instant? The possibilities are completely endless. There are draw backs though...as there always are. Nothing comes without a price as they say. These zombies can have systems wrote so they have to obey, need certain things to survive or have to do certain things against their will.This is the case with Josie. She was reanimated for the sole purpose of being a mad scientists wife. She needed physical touch in order to survive and had to obey her "husband" against her will if he choose to do so. Being reanimated without the proper programming also meant she didn't quite know how to do things, words to use, or ways to express herself.Bane just wanted to get in, grab the new "stein" and get out so he can be reprogrammed without the mind numbing memories of being a hard assassin. Networking with Josie to keep her functioning though wasn't what he expected. Her "newness" and fascination with everyday things makes him laugh and feel alive in a way he hasn't felt in a long time. I loved how she seemed to just connect to him, unlike how she fought her first creator. Even before they networked it was like she could tell she fit in with him...regardless of how he felt about the how thing.There were many funny moments throughout the book that had me giggling at my desk at work. Josie just saw things through new eyes, she was experimental and after the initial shock of certain things, unabashedly eager. Bane, while on one hand was a killing machine, had this gentle touch about him that just rocked my world. Daisy has a way of writing love scenes that often leaving me thinking these people are either ambidextrous or have extra arms that are spouting out of their bodies. There is just no way I could pull off some of those moves. Stealthy and coordinated.Lust After Death was an EXCELLENT read....loved it! Daisy Harris is my favorite go-to erotic author!I give Lust After Death by Daisy Harris 4.50 stars!Nikki- Ramblings From A Chaotic Mind
