To live through the zombie apocalypse they have to survive each other first. College freshman Parker Osborne is having the worst day ever. He humiliated himself trying to pick up a cute guy, he hasn’t made any friends at school, and his stupidly hot jerk of a TA gave him a crappy grade on his paper. He’s going to drop Adam Hawkins’ film class and start fresh tomorrow after he’s had a good sulk. But Parker’s about to find out what a bad day really looks like—if he can survive the night. A virus is unleashed, transforming infected people into zombie-like killers. After these quick and deadly creepers swarm campus, Parker only escapes thanks to Adam swooping him onto the back of his trusty motorcycle. Now they're on the run—and stuck with each other. When they’re not bickering, they’re fighting off the infected in a bloody battle for survival. Their only hope is to head east to Parker's family, but orphaned Adam has a secret he’s not sure Parker will accept: he’s a werewolf. Can they trust each other enough to find some light in these dark days? This gay romance from Keira Andrews features enemies to lovers, a really stressful road trip, two young men finding love in the zombie apocalypse, and of course a happy ending. Book one in the Kick at the Darkness m/m shifter romance series.

i've missed this. the feeling of reading a good action-packed dystopian romance. i love this. i love adam and parker, each with their own insecurities and struggles. i haven't really read a zombie apocalypse novel before, but now's a good time as any. this is one of the few good mm action romance book i've found honestly. great characters, thrilling plot, decent romance.
i'm ashamed to say i did not see adam's plot twist coming (i thought he was a vamp), and the i-love-you's came quicker than i expected/liked. another(maybe unpopular) opinion is that there are too. many. sex scenes. from 40% to around 60% it's almost nonstop. it kind of took away the main focus of escaping the zombies for me there.
this is an amazing series starter though :D love this!??
Halloween is here and this is a good little nugget to get in the mood.This is your basic Zombie story with a Shifter thrown in for good measure but it oh so very charmingly done. Sounds weird to say about an Apocalyptic tale but there you have it and it's HOT too ‘cause what else would we do come End of Days. LOLWe have Parker from Boston who's just getting his bearings during his first semester away at school in Stanford. He gets a C in a Film Studies paper which he took as an easy-peasy class and goes to lodge a complain with the TA who turns out to be Adam. At first brush they clash and not in a good way but when they meet again as the virus breaks out they go on the run together on Adam's Harley “Mariah” and the rest is bing bang go! If you've watched anything from TWD to “World War Z” you know what's coming but we have the convenient and nice added surprise. Adam is a Werewolf. He's always hid his true nature from others and knows very little about being a Werewolf as his family died when he was a young boy, but it does come in handy.. Parker wants to head to Cape Cod in hopes of meeting up with his family and so starts our MCs cross country journey.I had a blast. I loved that though Parker is the younger and ostensibly nerdier, geekier, twinkier of the two he's plenty bossy, bad-ass and lippy when he needs to be. I loved that Parker is the one who initiates sex, dirty talks and is kinky enough to be turned on by Adam's were self. I love that people in this book acknowledge that Zombie movies & books have been around and use tips accordingly. Yes there's nothing earth shattering here and the boys do run into lots of good luck but I happily rolled with it because the guys are such good guys, plus the story is told from Parker's POV and he's good company. I like that [a:Keira Andrews 1366040 Keira Andrews https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1409084048p2/1366040.jpg] likes people and loves her characters. I'm sure she's not naive and knows there are a**holes along the road but she never dwells on them and for the most part her stories deal with basically good people trying to navigate tricky situations as best they can. Sometimes they fail but except for a few they are not overtly evil. I guess I have inadvertently become a Keira Andrews fan. It's a good thing. ;-)
