Barbara ★'s Reviews > The Down Home Zombie Blues

Well the title is a bit misleading and the reason it took me so long to read this book. The "zombies" in this book aren't your typical "dead-man walking" zombies. These are man-made, technologically modified killing machines that eat (for a better word) humans (so yeah zombies but not).

Jorie Mikkalah is an intergalactic Guardian (a humanoid alien) who hunts these zombies. Right now the zombies have invaded a small town in Florida where homicide detective Theo Petrakos protects the masses. Jorie and her crew are on the down-low but Theo stumbles upon a mummified corpse with no real explanation of how it happened or who might be responsible. Jorie just happens to be in the area hunting zombies and follows Theo home.

This is a fast-paced story with never-ending action which grabbed me in the first chapter and simply didn't let go until the final word. Excellent story, terrific world-building, sweet romance.
