"I woke up in a hotel room I'd never seen. No matter how hard I've thought about it since, I have no memory of how I  got there or what happened the night before."First, I would never had bought this book just because of the name, which sounds rather like a spoof, yeah? But the author sent me her book and so I began reading, expectations low. I was pleasantly surprised to be hooked early on. The writing and dialogue is good. Except for the few errors throughout in missed "to"s and "the"s and the like which would have helped the flow. But it is obvious what the sentences mean, so it does not interfere, really.Next I have to give a warning to all those who are offended by rough talk, because there are a lot of them. I was not offended because I myself am familiar, having used those words before I became a grandma and had to control my tongue.The author uses a device I have not seen lately if at all, with her "author's notes" which are part of the story, appearing at the end of each episode. So there is a running story within (or without) the main story. I just love it and look forward to more of this series.The book itself is the first seven episodes and are about Ashley, a young woman who has survived the disease that infects people and makes them want to have sex. First they get sick with a fever, they die and when they are "back" they are this sex crazed, but thinking, creature. The "plague" is spread through sex and only transmitted with orgasm. I was absolutely stumped as to where to categorize this series. It is not your average zombie story, nor are the sex crazed arisen people any kind of zombie you have ever heard of before. But zombies is where I had to categorize it. I would not call it any kind of romance. She is married but her marriage is not a good one and her husband has turned out to be a jerk on the wrong side of the struggle.It is also a bit dystopian because the government is pretty much destroying all who have the disease. There is a pill to treat it but not cure it. There is a test strip that detects it (oddly resembling a pregnancy one).There is so far not really any romance that lasts, just sex, but I am hopeful there will be because Ashley has suffered enough and she deserves some romance.Great fiction it is not, but an exciting well written story it is. If you like a well written exciting plague story, with lots of sex and the potential for romance, this one is for you.
