I know it's only February, but I may have just read what could become my favorite book of 2016. It has been so long since I've read a book that captivated me as much as this juicy post-apocalyptic romance. This book has it all- adventure, suspense, sweet romance and mind blowing sex. The characters are so captivating and frequently had me laughing at their exchanges. I loved the storyline of how the virus started and actually found it quite believable. I think that is one of the scariest things about this book. Kudos to Zanetti for developing it along with the newest monsters on Earth- the Rippers. She did a marvelous job of melding the post-apocalyptic thriller and the sweeter romance story into a juicy total.
I had to force myself to put this book down and make it last more than one day simply because I did not want it to end. There is a second book coming out at the end of August but that's over six months away. It will feature Raze and Vivienne, characters you met in this book.

Having read the On The Hunt anthology, I had a previous taste of this story in the prequel novella, Scorpius Rising. And, call me naive, but I didn't actually realize this was the same series until I was about 10% through the book!
This book is a little outside my "normal" genre realm, but still appealed with the post-apocalyptic setting and alien virus issue. Jax Mercury & Lynne Harmony are strong protagonists with a terrific dynamic. Surrounded by many multi-faceted characters - several of whom I can see future books about in this series - and several of whom, unfortunately, you won't.
This is a fast-paced story with violence, death. love, and regrets a-plenty. What would happen if suddenly 90% of the world's population was either dead or insane after catching an alien virus? This book will give a detailed idea of this author's take! I could easily see this being a movie along the lines of the Resident Evil series.
Rebecca has created a well-though out and detailed world in this book, and I can't wait to "see" the rest of the series!

This is a post-apocalyptic romantic suspense novel. I am not a post-apocalyptic reader but must say after reading this I can't wait for the next book in this series to come out and have changed my opinion on "end-of'the-world" books. The characters are hot yet funny and the whole premise of the book was very believeable. Danger lurked around every corner and kept me riveted to my seat. I couldn't put the book down. Now again, remember I have not read this type of book before so my my opinion is based on no comparisons of other books of this nature. All I can say is I want a Jax in my life. LOL!!! This one truly gave me a reprieve from the daily grind.
