Better than the first but still not a 5 for me. The absolute best part of this book was Deuce and Ripper FINALLY telling Eva off for being TSTL over Frankie. I can't honestly believe she didn't know what he was about or how horrible he was! She put Frankie above everybody else! Deuce and Preacher are "bad ass" MC presidents but she didn't bother to tell them she wanted away from Frankie? Her stupidity ruined the entire first book for me. If she had been a strong character it would have been awesome. I did love Ripper and Danny's story and was thankful Danny wasn't as stupid as Eva!… (altro)

This took a long time to get into, but at about 45% I stopped skimming.

It's not a zombie book, it's about a couple of characters stumbling around trying to stay alive in hopes of getting somewhere safe to make whatever life they can 5 years or so after the zombie apocalypse takes out humanity. Pockets of society have emerged, some like Mad-Max and some like The Truman Show. The end is always the same, women have been reduced to a commodity and men take what they want. A woman needs protection from a man. Anyhow, this book was ok, I read it and the next one - which was much more romance than zombie, but this one was ok.

I pretty much read it because I got the library loan and it became a point of stubborness that I was going to finish it.

First a warning, this is harsh and ugly and full of potential triggers for sensitive readers, but it is also about love winning in the end. This is not only Ripper and Danny's chaotic romance but also resolution for Deuce and Eva as they recover and various other relationships within the club, some good, some train wrecks.

Ripper lost his family young and the Hell's Horsemen took him in and became his family. Four years ago he was brutally tortured and disfigured by a psychopath, leaving him an angry man.

Danny is the daughter of the MC President and is considered off limits. However when she calls him for a ride from her Prom night, sad and unhappy he takes her to a private watering spot to chill. They end up drinking and getting high and temptation and her calling him beautiful leads to a night of hot sex and a morning after recriminations. Ripper knows Deuce will kill him for sleeping with his daughter but these two manage to hide it. But in hiding their relationship other tragedies occur, making Ripper decide it would be best for his beautiful Danny if he was out of her life so she could have a better life than he could giver, which in turn leads to more ugliness.

While that's going on Deuce and Eva struggle to get their relationship back on track after he had to watch her being raped by her psycho ex, as well as other dramas with other couples.

I have to say the lives of these bikers pulled me in even as it sometimes disgusted and horrified me. Even though they are criminals I was still hoping they'd all get their HEA's until the very end, when Deuce allowed his men to rape the woman that kidnapped and threatened to kill his daughter. While I understand wanting vengeance I can't ever justify raping anyone for any reason. The story sort of crashed and burned for me there, only to warm my heart in the sweet epilogue. This story will put you on a roller coaster.
