2 Stars for me!
My rating range of this story... 1-3 Stars
If significant, why? The H's cheating killed the story completely for me.

3 Stars for me!
Internal Monolog? Light to Moderate
Light, Moderate, Heavy or Please Stop
Scenes with heat... Yes

Anything beyond M/F? No
If yes, explained
Heat Rating... 6/10
Clean or Fade to Black - 1 or 2
Normal to Descriptive 3-5
Detailed Descriptive Sex - 6-7
Um, Wow, Beyond Descriptive Sex - 8 or above
Was there so much sex or unrealistic sex that you rolled your eyes and/or skipped forward? No
The back story... The blurb says it all
The Romance... None. The H cannot control himself around other women yet he believes that he loves the h. If he loved her, he would not be hooking up with women behind her back.
The drama explosion... The final battle
Did it feel Real, OK or contrived? Ok
Was it OTT? Of course
Separation involved? No
Was it resolved properly or rushed? Properly
Final Notes... Had the H invited other women into the relationship or encouraged him to sleep with others, I would have been OK with that. The fact that he kept it hidden let me know that the H was a complete piece of garbage.
HEA or HFN? Hopefully the h finds something better!

Quick Moving Apocalyptic Fantasy
This book, of which I’m hoping for a continuing series, provided a very enjoyable, fast paced read. The post apocalyptic world in which survivors fight undead monsters and work to return to a civil state is imaginative and descriptive while containing believability. Great characters, great banter, great story. Fun reading which I highly recommend.

Decent second book.
The action in the book was pretty good and the pacing was good. I kind of wonder about the MC not thinking about the different ways the vampires could feed. Overall it was ok.
