Having just marathon-watched all 5 seasons of "The Walking Dead", I found this novella to be zombie-lite. I found I enjoyed the variation regarding contagion and I liked both MCs. I wouldn't mind reading a follow-up to Graham and Riley's story.

Good post zombie apocalypse story. I found that Riley and Graham were really believable as survivors, both the fighting zombies and surviving other survivors were well done. Maybe it didn't work so much as a romance though because I could see how much the guys relied on each other and were friends, but the deeper emotions I didn't feel. I think I preferred it the way it was though, a good fighting the zombies story with a side of loving.

a lot of zombie stories are simply tedious. kari gregg managed to keep great tension and suggested some new ideas about how living in a zombie infested world changes your environment & how you protect yourself from the side effects.
the romance was great too ;p~

Well color me SURPRISED! This little ditty packed a hell of a punch!
I had no expectations really with this, other than a fervent hope that the story was at least a bit better than that cover (I'm still cringing...) and as soon as I started reading I was very happy that indeed it was much better.
So Riley (kind of femmish gay man in his 20s) and Graham (big burly hunk of ex-navy man) are hunkering together as one of the survivors of some plague that has left the world full of infected undead. They have been huddled together for three months. They have been a good team staying alive and trying to bypass all the risks that are outside of their bunker...Things could be worse they've managed to stay fed and healthy. Riley has a bit on an issue with his attraction to Graham specially with having to spoon with the man for warmth every night, but there is nothing to be done, Graham is straight...And they have to escape, the city is getting to risky and their only chance to stay alive for the long haul is to head to the mountains...Just a few miles out of the city, the only thing is that they have to walk through like a gamillion zombies that could kill them or infect them to arrive on the other side. They do it anyways though, because they both want to stay alive.
This story was pretty action packed, and the more intense scenes totally got my heart rate up, there WAS some serious channeling of the show Walking Dead here, but hey it was entertaining, AND it had some deelicious man on man smexin thrown in the mix.
The romance between Riley and Graham was cute and also very hot. Poor Riley was a horny mess, and went Graham came at him with the sexy he had NO CLUE what hit him!
Overall very entertaining, not too long, not too short, with two VERY sexy smutliscious encounters, a lot of fast paced post apocalyptic goings on, made for a very satisfying story. The writing got a tiny bit cheesy at times, but I'm not gonna gripe about it, and with that cover there have to be cheesines somewhere...
Hope that we get another visit with Riley and Graham wherever they have ended up.
