Ysaria“One day, you’ll find your curiosity has betrayed you, child.”All my life, I’ve cast off my father’s warning. Curiosity brought me into this world of humans.And he was right—curiosity betrayed me.Now, I’m trapped in a world of ruin and nightmares. Zombies are holding my brother, my only way back to Brinspyre, and they’re not through yet. My fae blood is ancient and carries the antidote this world desperately needs to reverse the virus that plagues these creatures.They don’t want a cure. They want me dead.LiirThis world has gone to shit for good, but I refuse to surrender. Hellsbreath, the mountain stronghold I built with loyal friends, is a haven from the destruction aboveground. Survivors have found security under the dragons’ protection.But we’re not immune.My team of dragons, witches, and humans works cease- lessly to come up with something, anything, to slow the progression of the virus that only a few know is inexorably turning me into a monster. It’s all too easy to give in to despair.That is, until I cross paths with a stunning fae woman fleeing into the night, a troop of zombies screaming for her flesh.Let’s just hope I’m not too far gone to embrace her healing touch. The darkness inside me craves her demise, but the dragon craves so much more.
Born and raised a Jersey girl with easy access to NYC, I was never short on ideas for stories. I started writing when I was 11, and my passion for creating worlds exploded from that point on. Romance writing came later, since kissing gave you cooties at 11, but when it did, I embraced it. Since then, all of my heroes and heroines find their happily ever after, even if it takes a good fight, or ten, to get there.
I currently live in Central Florida with my husband, our four children, and two parakeets. I work part-time as a PCU nurse when I’m not writing or traveling between sports and other activities.

Ysaria is marynaurian fae a race of mythical being that have withdrawn from the world. she has a unique biology her blood literally heals. Liir is a dragon and one of the founders of Hellsbreath Sector an underground refuge he has built in this decimated apocalyptic landscape. He is also infected with the Zombie Virus but has managed to hold out so far on account of his dragon lineage. That is no longer the case and he can feel himself gradually succumbing to his curse. Liir rescues Ysaria (A Fae Princess) from the zombies and then goes back for her brother. The two had great chemistry and I liked that Ysaria owned her own sexuality completely. it was interesting to see Liir's two halves battle it out for supremacy, one wanting to devour the other annihilate her. I did like this but thought the length let it down slightly and I also thought the finish was rushed and easily resolved. This was a short easy read another edition to the Zombie 2099 compilation. I voluntary reviewed a copy of Hellsbreath Sector.
Zombie Year 2099 series has another release, and it's Kira Nyte's Hellsbreath Sector, a refuge for humans and supernaturals with a zombie outpost next door.
As a Fae Princess, Ysaria hasn't ventured into the human realm despite being very curious about it. She foolishly convinced her brother to open a portal so they could adventure but found their magic bound and themselves imprisoned in cages by zombies. This species of zombies is much different than other Zombie Year 2099 undead; they are intelligent with a hunger for flesh. Their prisoners are slaves; supernaturals aren't on the menu because they taste horrible to zombies, but they do have value in another flesh trade.
Yet slaves are slaves, beatings and violations are frequent. Ysaria keeps them angry, so she takes the punishments rather than worse. Not being able to access her powers is a further complication. Her brother Dastion and she are helpless. The only chance they have--an escape, she takes advantage of the first chance she gets. But weakened after days of captivity, she fears it will prove fruitless. It almost is.
Liir and Cryon are Dragons who protect Hellsbreath and all who live in the sector. They are natural protectors who would like nothing more than to incinerate all the zombies in their neighborhood--but will gladly accept the offering of turning into ash those preying a female through the woods they hunt.
But can a virus that has decimated the human population destroy dragons?
Kira Nyte's zombie world is different than previous Zombie Year 2099 authors. It's nice to see the variations in the stories. I think the best part of the Hellsbreath Sector is the fact that she has made the virus personal. The previous stories have told us about the virus, and Kira Nyte's shows us the world from the virus POV.
I still champion Andorra Sector as the best of the Zombie Year 2099 stories. If you like fae, this book might be more to your tastes. Or check out Voodoo Sector that also features some fae hotties.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary advance copy of this book.
This is my first book by Kira Kyte but most certainly will not be my last. The world she created around her characters are vivid and sucks you in from the minute you start reading.
I loved the world she built around Liir the dragon leader for Heallsbreath Sector and Ysaria his fae princess.
Ysaria was from a rare fae face the Marynaurian fae that could heal and to the zombies that meant she must be eliminated. Too many others she was going to be their saving grace.
This book is fast-paced and starts with a bang. There are many twists and turns along the way and new characters to fall in love with. I absolutely adored Ysaria and Liir.
There are a few questions I have about these two and I wonder if they will pop into other books down the road.
A shapeshifter romance set in a world, our world, that was ravaged by a zombie plague that set off a war in which the humans, shifters and other paranormals were defeated by the overwhelming zombie forces, then enslaved or killed for food. Very grim times for the survivors who have managed to rebuild by banding together in hiding. This story takes place in one such sanctuary, this one protected and guarded by the dragon shifter leader Liir and his shifter brothers. An angsty and passionate romance between Liir and Ysaria the Fae princess he rescued from her zombie captors. An exciting and very entertaining story with such a sweet ending! I loved it!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
4.35 stars This is the first book I have read by the author and it will not be the last. It is an intriguing addition to the Zombie Year 2099 collection. Ysaria is a fae from the Marynaurian race, that was thought to be of myth, with the capability to heal which makes her a threat to the zombies. Liir is a dragon that leads the group in Hellsbreath. However, he became infected and is struggling to keep his faculties in check for himself and those under his care. From the beginning this is one story that opens with a bang and keeps going with twists and turns with the hope that there can be a cure for all. I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.
This shorter romp into the Zombie Year 2099 universe sees a Fae Princess captured by Zombies on an ill fated trip to a ravaged earth rescued by a Dragon whose waging his own internal war with the virus that’s threatening to consume him. Ysaria is a confident, curious and likeable character who finds herself inexplicably drawn to Liir, the easy going leader of Hellsbreath Sector.
Despite its shorter length I really enjoyed this book, as fate seemed to bring the two together in a gritty, almost hopeless situation. The balance of drama, sweet romance and raw alpha energy made for an enjoyable tumble toward a HEA.
I am loving all the stories coming from different sectors and this one was no different. I love that now we are getting to the root of the virus and we even have a Fae that can cure it. There is more darkness but also light from those wanting to help and still looking out for each other. I felt for the sexy dragon Liir and his attraction to Ysaria was undeniable. I couldn't put this down.
The need for hope grows strong when all seems gone. With zombies feeding on humans and infecting them with a virus which has no cure, hope and love flourish, winning the battle.
