Eat Your Heart Out

By: Dayna Ingram

Narrated by: Heidi Mattson

A breakneck tale of kick-ass, wise-ass, sexy-ass lesbians and zombies.

Eat Your Heart Out opens on what promises to be another tediously annoying day at Ashbee's Furniture Outlet. Then the strip-mall calm of Nowhere, Ohio, is shattered by the sudden, simultaneous appearance of Renni Ramirez-hyper-competent star of the beloved Rising Evil B-movie franchise-and actual zombies, leaving Ashbee's hapless staff and Renni trapped behind an automatic door they can't lock. Can failed creative-writing student/apprentice store manager/eagle-eyed markswoman Devin escape the besieged furniture store to rescue her girlfriend? Will Renni's experience slaughtering motion-captured CGI monsters save the day before the army bombs the town? Once bitten, how many zombies can a person expect to take out before succumbing to infection? Who is the mysterious Deus Ex Machina, and what is he doing with that bone saw? All of these questions and more whisper behind the scream of the single most important thing Devin needs to know in order to survive: is Renni a top or a bottom?

Irreverant Lesbian Zombie Romp

The action doesn't slow down. Devon and Renni never stop. If they aren't being chased by zombies, Devon is having a star struck moment or flirtatious mishap. Meanwhile, Renni is the epitome of competent zompocalypse hero chick. Heidi Mattson's delivery on some of the more comedic lines made me laugh out loud. She nailed Devon's frenetic inner monologue. All in all the story is best listened to in one sitting.

A fun and amusing read

This afternoon I decided to read this book because of the "author's review" I read on Amazon. It made me laugh so I gave it go. It was fun, and amusing, and funny, and I wasn't disappointed. It's a zombie story, but not really. It's not a romance disguised as horror (yay!), but it does have a romantic element. It's a couple of messed up characters in a messed up situation doing the best they can. Did I mention it's fun? Yes? Well, I thought it was and I'm glad I gave it a shot.

Great narration but poor quality recording

The narrator did a great job with the entertaining story. I just found the background noise of the squeaky AC unit, the garbage truck and various other goings on a bit distracting. At one point I thought the squeaky AC was my car, until I turned off the radio and realized it was coming from the recording.

Narrator is BORED

Ok story. Could use more action and better climax for a zombie book.

Why does the narrator sound so bored? Why can't she pronounce so many simple words like minute (the adjective not the verb).

It's annoying. Why am I paying money for this???

Eat your heart out authentic review

The story will make you so mad. It’s not believable and it’s a like a poorly made scary movie. Everyone always makes the worst decisions that you shake your head at.

The romance of the two main characters is forced and feels fake. Not a fan. I almost stopped reading it.
