REVIEW: Dead of Eve by Pam Godwin

JaneC+ Reviewspost-apocalyptic / zombies12 Comments

Dear Ms. Godwin: This is a compelling but flawed post apocalypse/science fiction/suspense genre bender with a host of multicultural characters.  Unfortunately one race is singled out as the villains which made the entire story sit  uncomfortably around my shoulders. Eve was the mother of two and married to a gun ... more >

REVIEW: Flesh by Kylie Scott

JaneC+ Reviewsmenage / post-apocalyptic / zombies14 Comments

Dear Ms. Scott: I don’t like post apocalyptic stories. I am not a fan of zombies. Thank goodness for other reader’s recommendations because without them, my own prejudices would make me miss interesting new stories such as this one. Flesh is set 53 days post apocalypse in Brisbane, Australia. Daniel ... more >
