Title: Zombie Moon
Author: Lori Devoti
Grade: DNF
Paranormal Romance (PNR) can be a lot of fun. And what could be more fun than joining forces against the scourge of brain-feasting zombies?
I very seldom quit reading a book (DNF means did not finish). But this was so bad that I had to skip large parts of it.
Heroine is an idiot: Heroine brings a small snub-nosed revolver and just 5 bullets to a zombie fight. C'mon, she went looking for the undead, they did not take her by surprise. Why on earth would she not come 'loaded for bear?'
Hero is an idiot: Infects self with lycanthropy (werewolf) virus to immunize himself (hopefully) against a zombie bite. But there's no guarantee that this works. I for one, would want some assurances. Subplot includes him taking over a pack from another alpha. But there's no real reason for him to do so. Except that this would make him an alpha male. Yeesh.
Romance falls flat: The only thing they have in common is killing zombies, which she's not even that good at.
