Love & The Zombie Apocalypse Review

4/5☆☆☆☆

All Rachel Cole wanted was to get her little sister away from their horrible foster home,
Even if it was only for a few weeks, she was glad to have Morgan away at science camp,
where she would be safe from the beatings of their foster dad. 
Everything was as good as it could get for her, knowing that her sister would be safe
and having fun with other kids her own age. 
If only she had known how incredibly dangerous things where about to get for the both of them.

The dead are rising and attacking the living.
All it takes is ONE bite.
One bite and you're infected.
Once you're infected it's not long before you die and become one of the undead. 

It doesn't take long for Rachel to realize that in order to stay alive you have to fight back. 
With a bat and determination as her only weapon Rachel is on a mission to get 
to Michigan and rescue Morgan.

On her way she meets a few survivors who decide to help her
and that would be great if one of them weren't 
Cage Vincent, the local high schools golden boy.
Their attraction towards each other is undeniable, but 
The end of the world is hardly the time for falling in love.
Especially not when she has to be focused on saving her sister.
If it isn't already to late.

***

Here we have a Badass bat-swinging zombie-killing heroine
who knows how to take care of herself instead of hiding out in someones closet
till help arrives.
Rachel is smart, strong, and determined
but so is Cage, who despite all that he is going through is still determined to 
have Rachel by his side and help her find her sister. 

The book also tells  the stories of  other characters 
and what they've all been through up until they all meet up together 
which I fell is very import, because it helps us all understand the characters better and allows us to see how much they have grown or changed since their first encounter with the virus. 

If you are a fan of Love & Decay like I am you will definitely enjoy this book.

You can get it on Amazon for $2.99 Or you can read it for free with Kindle Unlimited  on your tablet, computer or smart phone like I did.

Cursed Review

3.5/5☆☆☆

If I haven't made myself clear, before now, 
in an earlier post or on my instagram or twitter page
 please allow me to do so now.
 Jennifer L. Armentrout is my favorite author!

Her words are a gift from GOD!
She is the Queen of  health hazardous cliff hangers 
creator of drool worthy book-boyfriends
and amazeball story lines!

I've been meaning to read cursed for a while now
and I finally got around to doing so. 
Last week I walked into my local library
(( I totally forgot we had one of those around here. 
I've been so obsessed with buying books 
that I forgot I can actually read some for free!
**gasp**))
...
Anyways I walked into my local library and this
was literally the fist book I saw
and I thought
"The gods have decided it was time."


I could not put the book down to save my own life
...or sleep. 

I have read many books where the main character has this horrible and uncontrollable ability
that prevented him/her from ever touching someone
but so far Ember win first place in the
I-totally-got-screwed-over-in-the-not-so-super-power-ability-department
considering she can't even touch animals or even plants without killing them. 

Can you imagine not being able to:
 Pick up a pretty flower 
or pet an animal?
To not be able to touch your little sister
or anyone else?
To never be able to kiss someone you like without killing them?

Well Rogue can.


It must really suck!


What make all of this so much worse is that Ember wasn't always like that.
She had a normal life once.
She was a cheerleader,
 had friends, and even dated the captain of the football team.
She use to be a normal girl with normal problems, but that was before...

Before she was in a car accident that killed both her and her dad.


Two years ago Ember had died in a horrible accident, but thanks to 
her little sister, Olivia, she was brought back to life.
Now, some people would be glad that they were brought back from the dead,
 but we all know better.

When you bring someone back from the dead they never return the same.
And when Ember came back
she came back cursed.

Now any living thing that she touches dies.

The once popular and out going girl distances herself from others
in order to keep everyone, including herself and her sister, safe.

Two years of Solitude, taking care of her sister and sick mother
has made her a social outcast with only one true friend.
The kids at school call her a freak, because she wears long sleeves and gloves to hide her scars.
If only they knew she wore them to protect all of them as well.


And just when things couldn't get any worse
it does.
 Ember McWilliams life gets turned upside down when she meets
Hayden Cromwell.
Smart, Sexy,funny, wonderful Hayden tells her that she isn't cursed,
but gifted like him.
 He tells her that she can control her gift
and to Ember that means the world to her.
She'd be able to hug her sister, touch other people and animals even kiss Hayden,
but first he needs her to do the one thing she may never be able to do
and that's trust his adoptive father.
A man who seems to be fond of collecting special children
like her self and Olivia and forcing them all to live
practically in the middle of nowhere!
Total Creeper!

But with nowhere else to go Ember tries her best
and works along with Hayden to get her ability under control.
But when Ember finds out the horrible truth about what really happened
the night of  the car accident that killed her and her dad
it's becomes difficult to trust anyone in her new home... even Hayden.
And with another threat on her life hanging over her head she might actually end up dead... permanently

***
I wish the book was longer and I kind of wish the romance was a bit more intense
but I guess not every guy can be Deamon Black right.
I just have to say that I absolutely love how it keeps you guessing all the way til the end.
Another wonderful book by Jennifer L. Armentrout
she should be awarded with a crown!
But until then
in honor of JLA
I will add a gif of Theo James
because he is Bae!
And we need more Theo-James-kind-of-handsome in this world
*sigh*
