Excerpt
I closed my eyes. Since it was too dark to see much more than silhouettes, I felt that the concentration of my other senses that closing my eyes provided was most important. My ears managed to hear the slightest sound of movement behind me. It was enough to give me an idea of where he stood. I already knew his height, since I’d seen his silhouette crossing the hall.
I both surprised and shocked myself
with the speed in which I whirled around on my knees and slammed the needle into his thigh. With the expert speed of a trained physician, I emptied the contents of the syringe into his thick muscle. I expected him to howl in protest. Instead, he merely grunted and grabbed my hair. I yelped as I grabbed his hands in my own and struggled to free the length of hair he was pulling on. His strength was intense. For a brief moment, I wondered if he’d pull the thick chunk of hair completely from my head. Then, his grip weakened until I could pull his hands away and he fell to the floor. The sedative had finally kicked in.
I ignored the temptation to spend time rubbing my head where I’d nearly been scalped by plucking. Without hesitation, I grabbed Max’s handcuffs and, after positioning my intruder’s hands behind his back, I secured the cuffs on his wrists. Then, and only then, did I slap Max in the face hard enough to bring him back into
consciousness.
I held my hand and actually kissed it in sympathy for the pain it endured from the impact of my palm against a face that was surely made of brick. I was grateful that it only took one slap for Max to open his eyes and get his bearings. I couldn’t imagine having to slap him again.
I raced to the wall and turned on the lights. After a moment of squinting to adjust his eyes, Max gasped with surprise at the sight of the man lying face down next to him with his handcuffs binding his wrists. “You did this?”
“I guess I did,” I said as I sat down and finally let the situation consume me. Tears slid down my cheeks. “I never want to do it again, either.”
“How?” he asked as he got on his knees and rolled the man onto his back.
“My weapon of choice was a syringe full of anesthesia.” I closed my eyes and sighed. “I just hope I didn’t use too much. I wanted to knock him out, not kill him.”
“Well, there’s no worry there,” Max said with a tone that made me open my eyes to see what was wrong. “Do you recognize him?”
My hands flew to my face as my eyes opened three times their normal size in disbelief. There, on the floor, handcuffed and sedated was Jacob Tripp; my lost corpse!
Professional Reviews
A New kinda world. An intriguing read.
I have not read a book quite like this. This takes zombies and vampires to a whole new level. pretty much anything you know about book zombies and book vampires leave at the door when you open to the first page.
The author did a great job creating a the world around her very interesting and chaining storyline. Doctor Vicky Anderson is the main character. She is witty, intelligent, and seem to be the girl next door kind of pretty.
I reading this book for stars because it was a really well written and it was hard to tear my attention away from it. At times I did find it a little slow, but that was solely because I really wanted to know what was going to happen next. I would recommend this book to anyone 18 plus and enjoys the genre.
Outrageously Funny!
This book is fun. It's a short and steamy story about a young but very serious doctor finding herself tossed into a world of all sorts of magical creatures. Not only zombies, but also vampires and witches - each with their own quirks and stories. I found the ending a little abrupt, after a lot of interesting build-up, but I guess it's good to leave the story wondering what will happen next.
Genice
This was such a great book. The imagination of this author is astounding! This isn't your typical zombie book and I didnt really think it horror but everyone is different. As I said this is a different take on zombies but its also a great story. Vickie is a doctor who sets up in a new town as their new resident doctor since the old one passed. She rents a huge house which she runs her office out of as well as has some boarders turned friends staying with her. I dont know what else to say about this book that wont give away spoilers so I'll have to just leave it at that. This is a really great book with a strong heroin and two very hot alpha males who both want her. Add in some supernatural things like zombies, witches and vampires and this book is all you need for a lazy day of reading.
