Nothing Else Matters by Megan Hart – 3.5 Stars
This story was not so different from what I would’ve expected to see in a post-apocalyptic paranormal erotic story from Megan Hart. Even in a short story, the romance is never simple. I don’t want to spoil things and tell you what happens 🙂 just that I found this story was sexy but gruesome at the same time. Megan’s zombies are pretty disgusting as they spread the “virus” by having spots on their faces explode. If you breath those spores in then you turn into a zombie. It’s almost a believable scenario. Our heroine Lira is kick ass, she goes out looking for, hunting and killing zombies. But she is also jaded. I think through this story she does grow a little and starts “feeling” but there’s more ahead of her. I am giving this a 3.5 because I was not as connected in all the “hunting for zombies” scenes and maybe wanted those to be shorter or less descriptive or maybe they should’ve included more people and interaction. Overall I did enjoy the story. It was dark and sexy.
“She spent her days with death; fucking made her feel alive.”
Pick Me Up by Lauren Hawkeye – 3 stars

I’m a part time graphic designer (yes, everything you see on UTC has been done by me), run my husband's business from home and on a good day I’m a self appointed superwoman (she who can do it all).I love blogging with my girls and I couldn’t do it any other way!My first love is everything paranormal, but in the past few years I’ve re-learned to love contemporary romance.Every once in a while I like to mix things up with a historical romance, a steampunk or an LGBT book.Because I need variety to avoid book slumps.I don’t always need an HEA although I prefer one, and I love authors that can rip my heart out and make me ugly cry.

I’m not usually one for anthologies but the cover (and your reviews) have convinced me to give this one a try. Thanks ladies!

Hope you enjoy it! Anthologies are always hard and this was not an exception because it’s hard to make someone connect in such a short time. But I find that “themed” ones usually are better for me and this was my first “halloween” themed (you could say) It was meant to be a little spooky with a dash of horror and plenty of hot. I think that’s what I got. And it’s a quick read.
