The First Days (As the World Dies, #1)
by
This book reminds me of so many movies. It’s Thelma & Louise meets Mr & Mrs Smith meets Pulp Fiction meets The Killer meets The Day of the Triffids.
It’s something of a Bullet Ballet with two very cool heroines killing zombies in just about every way imaginable. Everything from bull bars to shovels and of course bullets. There is so much carnage in this book that it becomes cartoonish which is pretty much par for the course with zombies.
It’s over the top, up in your face, and pretty damned funny.

Awesome trilogy. It's dark and gory but there are still elements of hope and romance, which makes for a good read.

I'm curious about Dead of Eve...something in the synopsis bothers me...I'm reasonably sure you could guess what, it would probably bother the other ISFJ you know as well. I'll do a ninja comment on your review so I get the updates.
I've been really lazy with doing status updates lately. Usually, I just wait and review unless something's really pissing me off and I need to vent.Oh? What is it that bothers you?
Ahhh yes. I haven't gotten to that part yet but I'm a little worried that it's going to go the route of (view spoiler)
You don't have access to the show The Walking Dead where you're at, do you? Other than having to pay to watch? Because this book reads just like an episode of that show.

About 2 years ago I hardly watched any t.v. I blame Goodreads friends for introducing me to a lot of new stuff, although we are lucky having Netflix and Amazon Prime because we were able to start for free (from the beginning) a lot of shows that were already in progress. I'm sure if we had to pay for anything, it would severely limit what we would watch.

There is a bit of romance but not for a while....maybe not till the second book, but it's awesome!
lol...First Days really is good and it's all heterosexual. The lesbian marriage was before the book began. Katie's wife was killed in the first wave of the zombie apocalypse.
