Kick at the Darkness

De: Keira Andrews

Narrado por: Tristan James

To live through the zombie apocalypse, they have to survive each other first.

College freshman Parker Osborne is having the worst day ever. He humiliated himself trying to pick up a cute guy, he hasn't made any friends at school, and his stupidly hot jerk of a TA gave him a crappy grade on his paper. He's going to drop Adam Hawkins' film class and start fresh tomorrow after he's had a good sulk.

But Parker's about to find out what a bad day really looks like - if he can survive the night.

A virus is unleashed, transforming infected people into zombielike killers. After these quick and deadly creepers swarm campus, Parker only escapes thanks to Adam swooping him onto the back of his trusty motorcycle. Now they're on the run - and stuck with each other.

When they're not bickering, they're fighting off the infected in a bloody battle for survival. Their only hope is to head east to Parker's family, but orphaned Adam has a secret he's not sure Parker will accept: He's a werewolf. Can they trust each other enough to find some light in these dark days?

Contains mature themes.

Wow, way better than I thought it would be!

The summary for this book makes it sound kind of cheesy, but the actual story is really good. The emcees are believable and they really grow on you. Throughout the book, you get to see their personalities develop and their feelings for each other organically grow. The situations they find themselves in and the people they meet along the way really help drive the narrative and establish the plot. The thesis of one of the MC's straight up tells you what the point of the book is about, fyi, but it's no secret that this is a "found family" book. All in all this is a great story and I highly recommend this book if you're into after zombie/infected apocalypse romance books. That one of them is a werewolf is a fun supernatural side thrown in there because why not, lol.

Original MM paranormal romance

This story was so sweet and original, even if it was based in a post apocalyptic world and one of the mc’s is a werewolf. I found it on accident, which is where the best stories I’ve found tend to be. I wish there had been a bit more of the story fleshed out, but my favorite book is “The Stand,” so rarely does any other book reach my need for details. This book had some of “The Stand” atmosphere, though, in a sweet paranormal MM romance.

Unusual end of world pairing, a human and a werewolf.

It is different than the usual end of world zombie books. First it is MM and second one is a human and the other is a werewolf. Also one is a winny rich kid and the other is a serious wolf. They may not hate each other, but they don't like each other either. Yet they have to depend on each other to stay alive. Note that the second book is available on Audible, but the third is not.

PERFECT.

Oh my gods. I was IMMEDIATELY obsessed with this opposites attract, paranormal dystopian romance. Seriously, go in blind and you’ll never regret it. I loved every single moment.

oh, I see what you did there!

I went into this book blind, only knowing it involved zombies and a student/TA dynamic. It was absolutely amazing! I wasn't expecting the plot twists, nor was I expecting it to be a Paranormal Romance rather than just a Supernatural thriller.
​It kept me on my toes, and I will definitely be starting book two very soon. I loved the chemistry between the leads; it felt wholesome and beautiful. Even when I had questions about the world-building, they were usually answered by the next chapter. I also appreciated the pacing—the characters actually took time to rest, so it wasn't just constant 'go-go-go.' Hopefully, book two is just as good!
