Back for Blood: Never Whistle at Night Part II
Shane Hawk
LemonItsWednesday commented on Stormy's review of Doomsdate: A Novel
I’ll preface, I did DNF at around 60% chapter 17.
In theory this plot was interesting to me, post apocalyptic, zombies, romance. Sounded intriguing. The characters just ruin it for me.
Maisie our FMC is a doomsday prepper who has some major trauma from growing up with a schizophrenic, paranoid mother, off grid until she was around 20. Everett is our MMC a professor in film studies who is an absolutely useless man with a dirty mouth.
Their attraction seems forced and Maisie is so paranoid and distrusting that it’s hard to believe anything either of them say honestly. One minute she’s scared he’s going to steal her car the next she wants to have sex.
There’s such repetition of a few things: Maisie wants sex before 30. Everett is still mourning his wife who died 3 years prior and every moment possible he mentions it (in his head usually but still).
I dunno this nerdy romance just isn’t for me. Maisie would have been better off ditching Everett and going her own way long ago. Random spurts of story seem kinda useless (one random chapter of them getting kidnapped by a survivalist cult and then escaping all in one chapter is wild).
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this book. I’m sure this book is for some people but sadly not for me.

Thank you Ballatine and NetGalley for the ARC. Love the cover and the concept but this missed the mark for me. If you want a pretty zany, "cozy" zombie story without a lot of danger I think this would be a good pick. For a story in the zombie apocalypse there just wasn't a lot of tension or stakes. The main characters are into each other so intensely, the zombies are so easy to avoid or dispatch, all the peril that comes from the apocalypse just wasn't there, and characters who could've had interesting back stories just didn't engage with them. Everything was very neat. I wish I had more fun, I really liked Zoe Brennan, First Crush.
