I am a instant fan of this series and I cannot wait for more! Love and Decay: Revolution is an exciting and fast paced story of life, love, and family in the Zombie Apocalypse. I know that seems overly cheesy to say, but imagine the Walking Dead in a novella type series. This story has a deep sense of family and honor. Every person you meet has a purpose in what is happening. They give meaning to the fight and defend what they love. There is blood, gore, and bada$$ fighting skills. Everything that mainstream pop culture has built around zombies it brought to life in this fabulous series. This first Volume drops the reader into a world that is both terrifying and exhilarating. I loved reading about the Parker family and seeing the deep connection and fight these people have. Most are blood bound but all are family in the purest sense of the word.
Volume 1 contains the first four episodes of the novella series. When you start to read the first episode, you know that you are in for a bumpy ride. There is unpredictability and honor abounding. I especially loved being able to see the world through Page’s eyes, a young girl who turned into a woman in the darkest of days, for the first three episodes. She is a warrior to the core of who she is. In a world where there should be no hope, there is so much love, family, and purpose. I think that is what makes me love this series so much. These novellas have it all. There is a building overarching story that keeps you coming back. The story has a beating heart that is beautifully shared through the different people you meet and the things they experience. There is young love, family ties, death, destruction, hope, and determination in this series. You feel the loss and heartache of these characters, as well as their desperation and struggle. But there is so much beauty and love when you watch the relationship of these characters unfold. I am excited to see what happens in the episodes to come and to see who’s POV we get to see it through.
I am curious about what happened before in the first Love and Decay novella series. As you read these episodes, you get a glimpse into what happened and become curious of the details. I never feel like I am missing anything but I want to see more of what happened to get them where they are and the struggle they went through to survive and find a new home. This new novella series is a standalone but it is so interconnected that I think I will be reading the first series while I wait for more.
“We’re outnumbered,” King whistled. “I thought Santi said a few Feeders. This is a goddamn horde.”
Energy fizzled in my blood, bringing me fully alive. The scar on my back, the one made by a Feeder, tingled with anticipation. I gripped my blades tighter and breathed through surging adrenaline and a racing heart.
I glanced at King over my shoulder while the Feeders started to gather around us. “Are you scared, King? Are you afraid of all of the big, bad Zombies?”
King pointed a dagger at me. “You used to be nice.”
“I used to be helpless.” My smile was so out of place for the bloodshed ahead of us.
