Loved this book so much!
I can’t even begin to explain how much I enjoyed reading this book. This is the first book I’ve ever really read with zombie like creatures in it. It had my heart racing and I couldn’t put the book down. I can not wait to start the next book in this series.

Pleasantly written and a bit funny, but nothing really happens. So I won't continue with this series

I love this quote:
"I immediately stopped the book and gazed down the hallway in shock. He’d gotten into my mom’s romance novels. I tugged the earbud out and scrolled through the last books he had listened to. Ruby Dixon. All the covers with bare-chested men. He’d only listened to three percent of the damn bee book."

Basically entertaining, but not much more. So, Mya decides to cross the zombie and hellhound infested state to get home to her family (without verifying they'll be there). Along the way she runs into Drav, a large, human-like creature who decides he's going to protect the female at all costs (without asking if she's interested in this). That's the plot...all of it. The book is basically just them running from one place to another and Drove defeating anything that threatens Mya. There really isn't a lot to it in terms of development or explanations. You are left with a lot of questions in the end (which is a cliffhanger).
Drav can conveniently learn a language by hearing a word once, so the whole communication thing is easily dismissed. And he's sweet. I liked Drav. Once he could understand her instructions, he was scrupulously attentive to Mya's demands not to touch her (consent, basically). I liked that. Mya wasn't particularly adept at survival, but not too stupid to live either. So, I was fine with Mya.
My issue arrises from the fact that this isn't about Mya as a person.
All in all, I enjoyed the book. There were some funny bits. Like the meta scene where the large, fanged, grey-skinned man with pointed ears getting his hands on a Ruby Dixon novel. I'd be more than willing to read the rest of the series.

he decides to protect her because he's never seen a female before. There's nothing inherently special about Mya herself that makes him take interest in her. He's pretty much just protecting the pussy or womb. He of course falls in love and I imagine Mya will in future books, but when you get right down to it,All in all, I enjoyed the book.
