Michelle Gilmore I know zombies can go either the sci-fi or the paranormal route. I'm looking for some zombie books more on the sci-fi, sci-fi romance side, and was hoping that some of you might be able to make some recommendations. Thanks =)

Michelle Gilmore Here are a few that I've come up with already, which I think are more rom sci-fi:

Married with Zombies (Living with the Dead, #1) by Jesse Petersen Razor Girl (Shomi) by Marianne Mancusi A Darker Shade of Dead by Bianca D'Arc

Hmmm.... I have no idea, LOL! I keep thinking of those Day of the Living Dead zombies wanting to eat brains, or those 28 Days Later zombies, that run really fast. I think if it were me trying to survive a zombie invasion, the last thing I'd have on my mind would be romance, LOL!

Michelle Gilmore Here's another one that someone mentioned in another thread, it's a steampunk/romance with zombies:

The Iron Duke (Iron Seas, #1) by Meljean Brook

Here's another:

Lazarus by Lori Titus

Tracey (tld14) I have read Married with Zombies really cute - humorous story Married with Zombies (Living with the Dead, #1) by Jesse Petersen I suppose its a little romantic since it is about a married couple. I read this book Feed (Newsflesh, #1) by Mira Grant and while its a really great zombie book it does not have much romance but interesting dynamic between a brother and siser and it takes place in the future. This book Patient Zero (Joe Ledger, #1) by Jonathan Maberry is also about zombies and there is a little love interest for the main character but its nothing serious but its there. I know this thread is old, did you ever find anything you enjoyed?

I read Married with Zombies, but not the other two you mentioned. They both look pretty good to me. I'll have to look for them the next time I'm at Borders. Thanks Tracey!

Jan (janoda) | 226 comments That's on mine too!
And there's this one, which is an Erotic Romance, post-zombie apocalypse.
Reawakening (Forever Dead, #1) by Charlotte Stein

(Don't think it's to most of your tastes, but it looks really good plot/setting wise, and Charlotte Stein is an excellent writer.)

Alex | 14 comments I've heard really good things about Warm Bodies by Marion . I don't know how far on the science fiction side of things it is, but the book's main point of interest is that the hero is a zombie. Apparently the author makes this not only work, but does it well.

In any case, I read the excerpt online and it was good, but I'd largely forgotten about finding the book till now.

Michelle Gilmore I found a copy of Pariah by Bob Fingerman @ Borders.


message 14: by Michelle (new)

Michelle Gilmore The Z Word (Apocalypse Babes #1) by Bella Street is free on smashwords.com, and the nook version is available for free on barnesandnoble.com right now. It's listed as a giveaway right now here on goodreads as well.


message 15: by Jan (new)

Jan (janoda) | 226 comments Sigh, all my neighboring countries, but not Belgium...UNFAIR!


message 16: by Jan (new)

Jan (janoda) | 226 comments Oh, I was only commenting on the giveaway. I know those are a drag to select all the countries, but I'm always a bit frustrated when people select the Netherlands and not Belgium, since shipping to both is the same price.

Smashwords doesn't care where I come from though, so I can get a copy there.

Haven't checked out Diamond Sand yet, so don't know if it's my thing, and I'm not very in the sfr mode currently, so it would probably sit a long time on my desk anyway.


message 17: by Jan (new)

Jan (janoda) | 226 comments For the giveaways (on Goodreads) you have to select each country by hand, it's a drag, they aren't sorted by region, and if you click wrongly you loose your entire selection.
It's horrid.

Michelle Gilmore Here's another one that I came across here on goodreads:

Civil Servant by J. Ireland


The description refers to "ferals" which sounds like zombies to me.

Bella Street (bellastreet) | 13 comments Thanks, Pia! :)

Michelle Gilmore Here's another one Love with a Chance of Zombies by Delphine Dryden !


message 23: by Michelle (new)

Michelle Gilmore I just bought Love with a Chance of Zombies by Delphine Dryden for my nook for only 99 cents.


message 24: by Michelle (new)

Michelle Gilmore Here's another one Hollowland (The Hollows, #1) by Amanda Hocking . I'm not sure if its YA or not.


message 25: by Michelle (new)

Michelle Gilmore Dearly, Departed is the first in what appears to a YA zombie series. I'm not sure the zombie(s) are voodoo or sci-fi, but it looks really good.

Dearly, Departed (Dearly, #1) by Lia Habel
