My Review

I absolutely love this book. Before going into it, I was expecting a spicy, zombie story. This because I had just finished Ryana's Haunted Legacies trilogy. However, this book is so much more than just a love story or a zombie story. 

This book made me think of Warm Bodies by Issac Marion. This book was also more than a "zombie" book. It was an experience. I really felt the emotions between Zane and Renee. In the beginning, all Renee could see is the physical side of Zane but the longer she was in his company, she was able to see past this and recognize that he was just someone looking for love. 

When I think of zombie books, I instantly picture male leads but props to Ryana for featuring Brie. She is snarky but at the same time someone that you would want in your corner. Even if she is undead. Additionally, I loved that Ryana featured a diverse character in Renee. Renee has a hearing disability, but it never hindered her. King of the Dead is sure to delight both the undead and the living!

Don't Say a Word: A Daughter's Two Cents

  Edna and Leo, a perpetually warring, tyrannical pair in their 80s, begin wintering In Mexico, where they abandon their usual prudence to embrace adventure and a bevy of sketchy new friends. Soon, Edna adopts a pair of shyster builders whom she trusts over her own architect-daughter Elizabeth, and a farcical house results. Blithely indifferent to the calamities that result, the pair refuse all help from their too-compliant only child. Later, following her mother’s sudden death, Elizabeth’s wise, principled father attempts to fill his late wife’s shoes with a string of loopy, live-in housekeepers―with privileges, he hopes.
