Publisher's Summary
To live through the zombie apocalypse, they have to survive each other first.
College freshman Parker Osborne is having the worst day ever. He humiliated himself trying to pick up a cute guy, he hasn't made any friends at school, and his stupidly hot jerk of a TA gave him a crappy grade on his paper. He's going to drop Adam Hawkins' film class and start fresh tomorrow after he's had a good sulk.
But Parker's about to find out what a bad day really looks like - if he can survive the night.
A virus is unleashed, transforming infected people into zombielike killers. After these quick and deadly creepers swarm campus, Parker only escapes thanks to Adam swooping him onto the back of his trusty motorcycle. Now they're on the run - and stuck with each other.
When they're not bickering, they're fighting off the infected in a bloody battle for survival. Their only hope is to head east to Parker's family, but orphaned Adam has a secret he's not sure Parker will accept: He's a werewolf. Can they trust each other enough to find some light in these dark days?
Contains mature themes.

Kept me listening!
I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to the second book. It was a fun mashup of genres, an adventure/escape story with a romance. The story itself is not "fun" but it keeps you listening, waiting to find out what happens next. Kept me well entertained!

Disappointing
For a zombie apocalypse romance novel, this was surprisingly disappointing. I saw so many reviews praising how "scary" this book was, but it really failed to deliver. It wasn't scary. There were a few moments of suspense, but the majority of the book takes place in various hiding spots.
As for the relationship between our heroes... I found myself rolling my eyes or cringing when the romance started. I love a good "enemies to lovers" romance, but this was just so awkward. First of all, I don't know any men that would invade another's privacy by joining them in the shower. A public shower, yes, but nothing so intimate as a single shower. Then, when things finally turn sexy, permission is asked, but never received before the awkward touching begins. There isn't enough of a build-up, no tension to keep me interested...or to even give me a clue that it was going to happen.
The ending (the last 1/4 of the book) was very disjointed from the trajectory of the story. Andrews added new characters, new mysteries, new conflict, and new threats. Then, after their escape, everything was very rushed. It felt as though Andrews knew that she was reaching the end of the novel and couldn't wait to get there. Scenes were abbreviated/summed up, and then everything was ended without any real satisfaction.
The narration wasn't the best. My issues are numerous, but I don't think it's fair to the narrator to pick his performance apart.
