This book was so much better than I could’ve imagined. I went into completely blind and fell in love! I am going to have a massive book hangover after. 

I am only left with one question? How is the Sunra line going to continue if both siblings are gay? I mean yeah adoption but that could be a lot of political unrest. 

This book in three words is Queer, Zombie, Betrayal. It has enemies, to friends, to lovers, to enemies, to lovers and just classic friends to lovers. 

The writing is so wonderful my only critique is it uses the phrase “bile rose to her throat” and others like that far too many times. Other than that it had so many fabulous quotes that just hit you to your core, my favorite being, “You useless lesbian.”
