Did not finish book.
DNF
Someone described this as “smutty Walking dead if Rick and Daryl shared a girlfriend.” I have to disagree. This is more like Negan apologist fan fiction.
The first dude’s POV reads like a rapist. A man who gets turned on by a terrified woman fighting for her life isn’t good guy, even in a morally gray zombie apocalypse. I really hate how often the Dark Romance genre tries to use the setting as some sort of excuse for making genuinely horrific behavior (like viewing a woman as a sexual object that he posses before even knowing her name) seem acceptable or worse appealing.
This was repugnant and boring.
