Book Review – Flesh by Kylie Scott + A Book Giveaway!

By 84 Comments

Flesh
Flesh in every sense of the word. A fast, fun, and occasionally frenzy-inducing read, but what made this one click for me, was the intense personal connection. Especially in the beginning. In fact, I “felt” it so quickly, that I let y’all know in a pre-review that I was really enjoying this one, and I already knew “Flesh” was worthy of recommending. It captured me right from the start, and Daniel did not disappoint.

This is a bit of what I was hoping (am still hoping?) that I might see on “Walking Dead”. And while I love that show, it’s missing a bit of that romantic edge. The romance is hinted at, but doesn’t quite satiate my need for romantic relief in a time of absolute desolation. read more

Currently Reading (and loving!) – Flesh by Kylie Scott

By 15 Comments

What I can’t put down but had to? THIS. OMG it’s soooooooo good! Sex, romance and zombies? What can be sexy about zombies? Mmmmhmmmm… that’s what I was thinking, too. I pointed it out a few weeks ago in a “new release” post, and knew I’d definitely read it because the synopsis intrigued me and the price was SO right.

But it got bumped up on my TBR list when some of my reading buddies gave it a go and told me just how steamy it was. Considering their reactions, I was getting the impression that it was steamier then “steamy” (get me?). It is. And luckily, the “sexy” doesn’t involve the zombies. They’re just an “extra” in this new world that these relatable characters are faced with. read more

    About the series:

    Fifteen-year-old Megan Berry is a Zombie Settler by birth, which means she’s part-time shrink to a bunch of dead people with a whole lot of issues.

    All Megan wants is to be normal – and go to homecoming, of course. Unfortunately, it’s a little difficult when your dates keep getting interrupted by a bunch of slobbering Undead.

    Things are about to get even more complicated for Megan. Someone in school is using black magic to turn average, angsty Undead into flesh-eating Zombies, and it’s looking like homecoming will turn out to be a very different kind of party – the bloody kind. read more

    About the series:

    Donuts are deadly. One minute you’re getting your binge on, the next, you’re slipping on the box, cracking your skull, and in the weirdest turn of events, rising as a zombie. That’s just for starters. Now, the recently deceased Amanda Feral is trying to make her way through Seattle’s undead scene with style (mortuary-grade makeup, six inch stilettos, bangin’ Balenciaga handbag) while satisfying a craving for decent vodkatinis and the occasional human flesh—Don’t judge. And no, not like chicken. read more
