Lust After Death was a shocking
surprise! I loved it. I love zombie books. Up until this point I had only read
bad, evil zombies. That is not what this is. Josie and Bane are both corpses
that have been reanimated after their deaths and mentally reprogrammed for new
purposes. Do you remember that movie Universal Soldier? Bane is totally working
that angle of zombie. He’s an assassin, former military. He recovers newly made
steins for an organization called Zombie Underground. Bane and a group of other
steins are preventing these newly made steins from being abused and mistreated.
They hope to reprogram them with as much humanity and self-awareness as
possible. They are hoping for an end result of a stein that makes their own
decisions and can function in the world as a human.
Josie
has recently woken to discover that her creator (horny mad scientist) wants a
bride. She doesn’t like him. She hates the thoughts and images that he makes
her see mentally between their mental connection. Josie does however find that
she likes to watch the man who is attempting to secretly watch her. She notices
Bane while he is keeping surveillance on the house she is trapped in. This is
Bane’s final mission with his current memories and programming. He wants this
mission completed so that he can get a complete memory wipe and start fresh. He
has been made aware of the programming issues with Josie. The issue that makes
her HAVE to have physical contact with her “husband” specifically. He knows
that the selfish scientist that made her left her naïve to many things. Bane is
so caring. I loved how this rough and
tough fighter was gentle with Josie’s feeling and he tried to be as informative
to her as possible while still being delicate about her lack of knowledge on
most things.
There
are so many wonder aspects in Lust After
Death. Josie’s naivetés brings humor. Banes reaction to Josie’s naivetés
brings even more humor. He really tries to be gentlemanly with her, but her
curiosity does not allow it. Multiple different factions pursuing both Josie
and Bane add for plenty of action. The romance was hot. Josie’s required neural
feedback gave her and Bane an opportunity for them to have an incredibly strong
connection to each other. Of course there are also the erotically hot sex
scenes. The combination of Daisy Harris and Ellora’s Cave shouts that this is
going to be one erotically written book. I loved the chemistry Bane and Josie
had. They made a great couple to follow along in this very unique zombie
romance.

Now I am adding this one to my Fall Book Exchange list :)
ReplyDeleteI love Zombies and not all the ones I have read have been bad zombies. My Life as a White Trash Zombie--they were not bad :)
Wow! This actually sounds cool - no flesh-eating corpses, but sexy undead?! My kind of zombie! Thanks!
