Zombies Rule the World #1
Love for My Zombie Kings
Five dead brothers want me, and I plan to keep them all.
The dead took over the night a year ago, bringing with them terror beyond our wildest dreams. As a scientist and a specialist in DNA, I've been in the thick of it since the very beginning.
Now, however, a new type of zombie has emerged.
They've called it a Zed-Two.
It's stronger, faster, but most importantly, part human. It can shift from human to zombie in the blink of an eye, but also eat half a body in about twice that time.
One was captured, but it escaped. Now my lab seems to have gotten their claws into one.
And I'm the reason why.
He twists shit inside my mind.
The things he can do and the things he makes me feel through the glass...
Then one of his brothers gets himself captured, too.
And all hell breaks loose.
This book features five gorgeous men who fiercely love one woman.
18+ Not intended for readers who do not enjoy a steaming hot good time.

Not what I thought
So this is erotica I'd go so far as to say it's monster erotica which is not what I thought I was getting. I read a lot of dystopia and zombie series, one of my favorite rh's in fact happens to have zombies as the male leads (lightening strikes by Royce and Proserpina) so super excited for this. But it's erotica. You don't really get to know any of the characters with any depth heck you don't even meet 3 of the brothers until the first big sex scene and after that that's basically all the interaction between them... Sex. Oh and it's got a super weird 'breeding' feel to it, also not what I was expecting. So if you want a super quick shallow dirty erotica to get your rocks off here you go but don't expect any depth or real development of character or relationship

Curiosity got the better of me again. Saw this one and wondered if The MC was actually gonna sleep with zombies. Question answered. Five zombie brothers. For how short it was a lot was covered. Mikka is a strong character and the self declared smartest. Seemingly true but she lacks common sense. Subtle it is not. It sort of felt like one big elopement.
Plenty of sex and teasing. Pretty Thorn heavy with Blade following. The other three didn’t have much of an intro. But I liked the relationship flow between them. Mainly about breeding to survive.
The ending felt wtf to me. I get they wanted to make more of them but why pick someone whose gonna have a personal grudge and the bad guy. Talk about making your own worst enemies. It was different, interesting and the characters are fun. I’d read the next one.

I was concerned as to where this love story was headed when I first started reading this and the characters talked about Zombies with a sexual drive, that rape people to death before eating them!😨 That's some no/con I want no part of.
Thankfully this ended up being slightly sweet on the romance part. Five guys who formed a mental link and have an almost hive mind going on. So even though they have thier own personalities you don't have to get to know each of them to understand how they feel. Perfect for a Short Story with that many characters. Thier deeply dedicated and very in love with the FMC.
The FMC is supposed to be a genus-level scientist and the problem with that kind of character is unless you do research into her field of work everything sounds like grade-school knock-off play pretend science. The author did so little research we didn't even have a career or flied name for the type of genetic science she worked on.
I decided to read this story mostly because I saw that it had been published as a standalone in an anthology before and figured it meant that I could read the first book and drop the series after if I didn't wish to continue. Well, that wasn't completely true, the story still left off at an arc but I'm still satisfied with stopping now.
The FMC went a bit crazy at the end, and we learn that her guys had been spreading thier seed around in a desperate attempt to procreate but none of the babies lived. I'm pretty sure the mothers died also but the author never talked about the consent factor with all those women.
It was a fun short read but not something I want to dive too deeply into.

Loved It!!!! Mikka and her King’s was everything!!!
This book was excellent!!! I loved the way Thorn and Milka built their relationship completely through explicit dreams, eye contact and whatever it was called where Thorn could manipulate Mikka when they were face to face. Loved the immediate love and togetherness from the brothers as they welcomed their Queen into their family. When I say immediate, everything was immediate. The desire, the sex which was a fantastic display that I had no idea was going to play out. This was a completely different spin on the Zombie stories that I’ve read in the past and I loved it. That scene with the brothers in Mikka’s house was everything!!!! I’ll say it again, it was everything!!! Great story, looking forward to reading book two.

So this one is tough to rate and review. It started out interesting and the premise was interesting but things escalate quickly. You’ve heard of insta-love? Well this was like that but with unbelievable stuff … apparently the characters are mind readers. And even though insane things are happening, Mikka is immediately accepting of all the crazy stuff and in love. It was like a Sunday drive that all of a sudden became nascar. It’s short though and I’m interested to know what happens so I will most likely read the next one.
August 26, 2023
Actually really enjoy where this series is going, Mikka is such a interesting fmc. We deal with Thorn the most of the brothers in this one but I love all the brothers so far (i just finished book 2 lol) breeding is a theme in this series.
Steam-2/3 breeding kink, etc

This was weird but I liked it lol. Has some gruesome zombie stuff, also you have to watch them be tested for pain thresholds in the lab. Insta love, focused on reproducing, five brothers/one woman.

It was a bit weird. This was my first Zombie RH book. But I loved the characters so it made it better. Overall it was pretty good.

I like rh, I like zombies, I definitely like zombies in a rh but not this.
This feels like a strange cross between porny without a lot of actual sex and some breeder type of sh*t.
I mean, it's fine if you're into that, I don't wanna kink shame but that ruined it for me since I am very much not into that.
It also felt kinda like it was just about that for the dudes and literally any women could be attached to her magic womb.
Since the next book is called babies for my zombie Kings I assume that's just a lot of sex and pregnancy stuff so I don't see any reason to continue this series.
Kudos for trying something so out there though.

Love for My Zombie Kings — When Lust Devours Logic
Author: LeeSha McCoy
Genre (marketed): Fantasy Fiction, African-American Erotica, Reverse Harem
Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (one star for concept, none for craft)
1 · Basic Information & Framing
Love For My Zombie Kings markets itself as African-American erotica but centers a Kenyan-British protagonist whose cultural identity is almost entirely cosmetic. What could have been a rich diasporic blend of horror and sensuality instead becomes a hollow exercise in trope-stacking — an erotic fanfiction of ideas that never mature into culture, character, or world.
The premise has bite; the execution has no teeth.
2 · Context & Cultural Framing
McCoy is an Black author labeling her work African-American erotica while centering this world in the UK. That decision feels less like representation and more like SEO. The prose contains no Kenyan specificity, no British cadences, and no African-American linguistic or cultural texture. Even the book’s initial “warning” about African-American slang proves ironic — there is none.
“McCoy’s use of the African-American erotica tag feels more like a marketing hook than a cultural alignment.”
The Jamaican/Zed-Two brothers speak with no Jamaican dialect. Mikka has no diasporic voice. Blackness becomes costume — not craft, not consciousness, not culture.
3 · Character & Identity Analysis — The Genius That Wasn’t
Mikka is introduced as a prodigy:
college graduate at 16
years of vaccine research by 20
creator of a DNA-decryption program
specialist at ZoNaR
Yet not one action, thought, or line of dialogue reflects scientific training. Her intellect is entirely told, never shown.
Her reasoning is hormonal (“It’s wrong…but I want him”), reactive, and adolescent. Her narration leans on constant “I feel, I want, I think” diary repetition instead of internal logic or analysis.
“The narrative insists Mikka is brilliant, but gives her the emotional awareness of a teenager and the scientific vocabulary of a BuzzFeed article.”
And culturally? She is Kenyan-British in name only.
4 · Genre & Erotica Lens — Heat Without Earned Chemistry
Erotica requires buildup, agency, and tension. Here, kink is front-loaded long before readers care about anyone on the page. All five Zed-brothers want to impregnate her before a single meaningful interaction occurs.
Instead of negotiating desire, the story substitutes psychic coercion, calling her loss of agency erotic:
“My mind isn’t my own anymore.”
That is the book’s idea of foreplay.
“The fantasy world feels racially unmoored; its erotic power comes from genre tropes rather than cultural imagination.”
Breeding kink can be hot if it’s earned. Here it’s marketing copy dressed as character motivation.
5 · Craft & Structure — A Story Told in Vibes, Not Rules
The writing suffers from skipped editing:
tense shifts
comma chaos
missing words
paragraphs that collapse mid-idea
scenes told instead of built
Pacing veers between horror, romance, and erotica with no moral compass to anchor tone. Worldbuilding exists as atmospheric blur: dim hallways, cages, unexplained lab equipment.
ZoNaR, the central scientific institution, lacks even the most basic scaffolding: no protocols, no oversight, no clarity on Mikka’s role beyond “specialist because the plot says so.”
6 · Realism & World-Building Logic (Science Check)
Claim:
1. “Years of vaccine work” between ages 16–20 but…
2. 12-hour shifts, 6 days a week but…
3. Her decryption software is obviously superior but…
4. Zed-Two hybrids & facility operations but…
Reality Check:
1. Impossible without credentials
2. Unsafe, unlikely for a “genius” specialist
3. It remains nameless, unexplained, magically infallible
4. No internal rules, ethics, or structure
“For a character defined as a scientist, Mikka never hypothesizes, tests, or even checks a data log. Genius by author decree, not demonstration.”
7 · Narrative Voice & Style
First-person can be intimate, but here it narrows the world to Mikka’s shallow self-talk. The repetition of “I” mimics the cadence of unedited fanfic — except fanfic writers usually have beta readers.
“It reads as self-gratifying rather than character-building.”
Her interior monologue often contradicts her stated intelligence, emotional maturity, and moral awareness.
8 · Theme Execution — When Lust Replaces Inquiry
Intended themes:
• the moral tension of scientific work
• desire vs. duty
• survival and intimacy
Executed themes:
• infantilization of a supposedly brilliant woman
• eroticization of captivity
• disappearance of ethics under the weight of lust
“Instead of an arc from scientist to monster-lover, we get tonal ping-pong: fear, lust, pity, rinse, repeat.”
Any profound possible metaphor — zombies as postcolonial resurrection, Black survival, apocalypse-as-trauma — never materializes.

This was a fun, short one. I don't usually read novellas because I don't like how short they are and how the content has to be clipped to fit into it, but I decided to give this one a chance based on the unusual premise. I feel like if this was a fully fledged book that allowed for more depth and detail in the characters and pace it would do wonders for the storyline, because for me it felt pretty rushed as soon as Blade was introduced. I did like the idea of a zombie apocalypse with a scientist FMC and some zombie men, but the execution of the idea wasn't great for me. I wasn't a big fan of Mikka becoming one of them and also wasn't too sure about their half zombie and half human personas- it felt more like a monster romance than anything. I wished there had been more sexual tension and lead up, especially with the three other brothers because it's basically a first meeting (orgy) between them all and then they're some kind of united front when we as readers can barely tell who's who, let alone buy into this insta love. I didn't mind the insta lust aspect, but the whole 'we worship you' vibes felt a bit early to me. I also wasn't a fan of the whole breeding undercurrent running throughout all of their interactions, especially at the end where she's wanting to have their babies after knowing them for a few days tops (Thorn excluded). Don't get me wrong, in terms of sex I'm all here for a breeding kink, but I'm not a fan of actual pregnancy so I think the next book will be a miss for me. Still an interesting concept, and I would like to see more books come from this micro genre. 5/10.

Surprisingly good
I have never read this author before, but someone in a FB group I follow posted about this being a really good, and steamy read, so I checked out the blurb, sounded fun so I gave it a go.
I'm beyond surprised to say this series was REALLY good! Books one and two are on the lean side at only about 100 pages, book three clocks in at 200 pages, but even though these are not particularly lengthy reads, it still felt like the right amount for this story. The author manages to pull out some really good character and world building, and yes, the smexy times are very steamy but surprisingly this wasn't pure erotica lacking in any plot. There is a nice healthy plot alongside. 😘
Is the writing or story on par with some of the great well read epic reads of all time? No! But who cares and frankly that wasn't what I was looking to read anyway. For the category this falls in, Romance/Post Apocalypse/Thriller - the quality of story and writing earn five ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me! Definitely worth a read.

To say I'm surprised, it's a bit understated. I didn't expect anything. I never read anything of this author. And looking at the fact, it hasn't that many pages, it covered a lot of the world building and the actual zombie biology. And then the five zombie brothers. Boy, they are fascinating.
I'm not normally a fan of zombie or apocalypse stories. I read several. And often zombies are declared as mindless beings. Only overwhelming anything because of their numbers. So this book has a whole different approach. And the author is able to make a zombie sound hot. I mean the upgraded ones. Beside the eating human/zombie flesh thing. But it's a necessity. So, I suppose a zombie can't help oneself.
Sure, some things aren't that logical. Like the fast acceptance of Mikka and that she has literally no problems biting people at the end. And the choice of people... I mean, why bite/change people that are sure to have a grudge against you? And there is a heavy breeding vibe. That's not bad. I reckon it's a question of, if you are into it or not. And it makes sense that they want to procreate. It's biology.
But it was all in one really good and interesting. I loved it!

Not a fan
The story is well written but the romance is pretty much non existent. These zombies have been around for a matter a months and they are already obsessed with having babies to the extent that they have had several women pregnant, and have given birth to stillborns, already. So they're basically just biting and impregnating any woman they can find and just want the main characters help with her DNA knowledge until they meet her and feel a mate pull towards her. Not romantic man. Then there's the fact that she's only 20 years old and a virgin and they're trying to get her pregnant on her first time. It's messed up. And her immediate agreeance and obsession with getting pregnant as well. I just don't like any of that. Then there's the sex scenes, which are supposed to be hot and smutty but she wants them to turn into their zombie forms and the descriptions of their rotting flesh and skin flaking off inside her... Bro. So gross. And the one scene with the guy between her legs while another feeds her a rotting zombie arm and all the descriptions of that... Yeah. Shutter.

I’m sorry (not really), but the heroine in this book is such an idiot. She is led by lust. Mikka is meant to be this brilliant woman, but none of that comes through. She meets hot zombie-men, and all of a sudden she is ready to do whatever they say. She literally says, “If Thorn and his four brothers showed up now and asked me to go away somewhere with them, I wouldn’t even hesitate.” She later asks herself, “God, what kind of a person does that make me?” Let me tell you right now sweetheart, a dumb one.
The worst part was probably that everyone shared a mind. They could literally hear each other’s thoughts and experience each other’s feelings. Mikka describes it as ‘being one’. Creepy much?
In the end, Mikka ends up partially eating her ex-best friend and going to live with the men she met a week ago. Oh, I love happy endings like this one. NOT.
Anyway, our heroine was a wimp, the story made no sense, and I couldn’t really feel the connections between everyone. I have to say, this book missed the mark for me.

not bad
The premise of the book was super interesting and intriguing. I had a hard time loving it because I didn’t feel like it was well developed. There’s not much depth to when the female lead meets the first male lead, and then the others. I don’t feel any depth especially when it’s stated about how they’ve( the men) tried so many times to have children. It just makes it seem like her worth is baby making. One segment said they can’t stop thinking about her “holes” I mean come on, there are so many other ways to say something. The characters were ill defined and lack luster. Aside from being a genius, the only other thing to know about the fmc is that she’s a virgin. Cue the eye rolling. And of course there’s nothing hotter than her zombie men with skin problems that have a “sweet-death smell” to them ( I can’t)…
This had the makings of being a really interesting and captivating read but it just fell so flat it was a complete bummer. This book needs a re-write.

Dark HORROR Zombie Why Choose Erotica.
Brutal choiceless urging - non con - "their sex drive" their Breeding Kink is to the hilt - Breeding urge for survival with their mate.
Their Mate responds in kind. Note: the failed attempts to breed with others may make other readers feel uncomfortable in the ink.
So TWs CWs please check them out.
Romanticism & Cannibalism yes the act of consuming another individual of the same species as food,
If you can't imagine your FMC flesh eating & doing this with her fated, then this read is not for you.
Theres lots of Smut equal to all the rage.
The bloody shock & awe is kinda interesting. I liked the dark edges in book.I liked that it was a female author writing dark horror erotica. I would have higher star rated than 3.5, if had a more sophisticated dystopian sci-fi tone and not so light weight in world building - as it does injustice to Author concept.
I really like how this Authors book voice goes, so Im going check out more of her ink.

I am not sure if this is my final rating or not.
Here is what I think:
Well written
Well edited
Scientific information is explained easily and not boring
Smutty
Insta love / mate bond
Breeding
Zombie gore
This was a lot of information packed into a novella. It was also a fresh take on an old favorite genre of mine; zombie dystopia. Which I love to see. The FMC was pretty, smart, and independent. There was more smut than character building, but the author states this novella was written for an anthology, and the following books in the series are longer. So if you can get over the fact that her harem are zombies, this is a great book. At first, I went into it thinking of them as vampires with a solid rather than liquid human diet, but the more you read, they really aren't your typical.zombies. Will I be reading the next in the series? Definitely

Interesting concept
It was an interesting take on zombies. But really I don't think I would get over the fact that they've already tries with multiple women to have babies and since your the only one that's biologically able your now perfect for them and their queen. And at the end with her beat friend who gave her a normal reaction of 'what the fuck your in love with a man eating monster', she gets all offended that the friend didn't automatically support her. Then at the end she bit the friend and left her to authorities to be tested on. Like ummm your bff since childhood thinks you've gone mental and is trying to help in her own way and you basically just killed her and told her it's her own fault? Yeah, nah.

Love for my zombie kings by Leesha McCoy
Im not a zombie girl, which is pretty strange for me to have picked out this book right? I know I was shook with myself at the courage to buy and read something I’m not a fan of. I wanted to step out of my girly zone and try something different. Plus it’s Monster March Madness and this book was recommended on the clock app. So I decided to read it in honor of Monster March Madness. I wasn’t disappointed what’s so ever. This book is really good. I’m not gonna lie it did gross me out on some parts but, that’s to be expected because duh it’s zombies and they eat you know what. The spice was different at first but you have to read it to understand why. It does get way to spicy but still super enjoyable. I do recommend it to the people that like a quick read and love zombies with spicy topics.

4 stars
This is definitely a different take on zombies. The differences made it interesting and enjoyable even though my mind had a hard time wrapping around the possibility of a shifting zombie/human.
I had one thing, though, that I had to snort out loud and shake my head ....
The part that said the US was safe from zombies and they were under curfew and military roamed the streets? Yeah, no. There is no way. My fellow Americans would be looting and rioting - protesting their right to be eaten by zombies and angry at the government for trying to keep them safe and alive.
On to book 2!

That is some fucked up book.
Breeding kink. Actually no, it's an obsession. A compulsion. For Baby Zombies which shouldn't be surprising, I read the title of the second book before I started this.
There's a scene where she is eating zombie flesh while getting railed by them shifted to their zombie forms...
I am truly a bit traumatized by this one. The Monster Book.
In all fairness, I wanted a monster zombie book and that was I what I got. But this girl went from incredible scientist to obsessed with brothers that compel her to find a genetic answer for breeding. Like in all baby oriented books, the FMC is lost to the fixation.

Well, that was... pretty weird.
Mikka is very intelligent and seems like an overall nice human being. I like her. I even like the Zed-Twos. They're branded as monsters but it's the humans that are the most vile as evidenced by the things they do and morals they lack.
I did find it all just a little too gory though. I feel super weird about Zombie breeding.
And Zombie sex? It's not for me although if you forget the flesh-peeling part I guess you could say parts of it were hot. Some bits properly put me off my lunch e.g. "I've seen a female suck the womb straight out of a middle-aged woman". What is the need?

"Eres nuestra para protegerte (...), moriremos antes de que dejemos que te pase algo".
[2'7/5★] // [1'4/5🌶️]
A ver, a ver, a ver...
¿Me ha entretenido? Sí.
¿Esperaba que fuese mejor? También.
El libro ha empezado de una forma magnífica, me ha encantado como se ha introducido todo, pero el romance entre los personajes no me ha llegado a convencer, todo ha pasado muy rápido, y siento que no tienen conexión más allá del sexo y del pensamiento de querer tener bebés.
Si el libro hubiese sido más largo, me habría gustado más.

Good Read
Love for my Zombie Kings is the first book in the Zombies Rule the World Series and starts a year after the zombie apocalypse hit the world. Mikka works in a lab analysing DNA and is drawn to a subject that is brought in that seems smarter than the zombies they’ve seen so far.
I loved the fact that the concept of this book is nothing like anything else I’ve read before. I liked the ideas in it and I found myself drawn into the story.
Overall, this was an absolutely brilliant book that I really enjoyed. I would recommend giving it a read.

Interesting zombie concept where they morph back and forth. The 13th gene theory and needing them instantly to procreate was alittle off for me but for what it is a short book no big background and building up to the purpose was done. From 80 pages on it goes into the 5 Brothers and their need to survive with the "special one".
Of course they also touched on her being a virgin and instantly was down for all of them at once and even some anal as a possibility. It was a bit odd but the whole book was.

I think it’s a cute, monster erotica! The book is straight to the point and throws you in the midst of the action which I like because you didn’t have to wait for a long buildup. Kind of think it’s weird that she’s gonna be pregnant with ““their baby“. I’m going to rebook two but I really don’t want to read about a pregnant woman having sex with five brothers so we will see how it goes. I think it would’ve been a better ending if they just would’ve turned her and made her their princess forever/sex slave lol but I still like the book ❤️🔥

Interesting and weird in a good way.
This was an interesting and weird read. In a good way. A weird and interesting take on zombies. I liked it. The main character falls for her guys a little to fast. She doesn’t even know 4 of them never met them and is in love with them before they meet. And there all about getting her pregnant and she’s on board right away. It’s a little weird. But I enjoyed the read
