Description:
Dagger has survived the zombie apocalypse with nothing save a metal bat, blades, and assholery. With the company of an IPOD she attained courtesy of Dead-Dude, and King, the Bunker-Boy straggler she somehow acquired on her journey, she travels to the coast, putting down zombies, blowing up high-grade assholes, and teaching King how to ditch his pre-apocalypse conscience and keep his yellow ass alive.
Review:
I received a free copy of this from the author herself (via Instagram) in exchange for an honest review.
Dagger is making her way to Cornwall. There is a house that she owns there and a safe haven, from the zombies (or bitey-assholes as she calls them), when she saves King, a man who has spent the last ten months in a bunker. He begs her to help him, which she agrees to, reluctantly
This book should really be called How a badass survived the zombie apocalypse. I loved this novella, so much so I read it in one sitting! (That doesn’t happen very often, I have the attention span of a goldfish.).
This book is funny, clever and even touching in places. The author has cleverly intertwined the music into the story with each chapter is the title of a song ranging from classics such as Paint It Black by The Rolling Stones to Milkshake by Kelis. I love the prickly Dagger (she’s a woman by the way and a complete and utter bad ass) who plays off the sweet hearted King.
I will warn people if you’re not a fan of swearing in books this may not be for you. But I personally don’t think the author uses it gratuitously and if I were in an apocalypse, I’d be swearing too.
If I had any critique, it would be there could have been a little more detail and in places the story jumped a little bit quickly from one scene to another.
Also I just wanted more!!!
I don’t know if the author has plans for more stories featuring Dagger and King but I would definitely read them!
Rating 4/5
