(Bits of Flesh
Series)

OVERVIEW
"Under a Blanket of Blue," is a
Romero-inspired tale of zombies, love and survival, with a dash of sex, more
than a pinch of gore, and a glaring of hungry cats on the prowl.
REVIEW
One
thing I can safely say about this author is that she doesn’t shy away from gore
and shock techniques to get the reader to sit up and take note. She goes where few
other horror authors fear to tread, and hones right in for the kill.
This
is a novella for fans of zombie books looking for a quick fix. The fast-paced
plot is a hair-raising one, filled with gruesome scenes, terror, and of course,
the living dead. I especially enjoyed the scene with the cats and if you don’t
like cats…well…that part of the story will freak you out good. Even cat-lovers
will have chills running down their spine after reading the scene with the cats
in the dead of night.
Although
I found this shocking, but exhilarating novella to be a four-star read, the
editing was atrocious and therefore brings my rating down to three stars. I
enjoyed the edge-of-your-seat suspense the author maintained throughout the
story, but it needs revision and as such I recommend this book as a free
download only.
