Kick at the Darkness

By: Keira Andrews

Narrated by: 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.

keeps you listening

the story is good, I was kept mildly interested the whole time and most books cant even do that for me, however those feeling changed to excitement and anger at some of the stuff that happens later on, I have to say that was awesome because it went from slow pace to a great few new scenes. I wish most of the book had more of that bit I still enjoyed it very much. there are some areas where the volume of the narration drops but it's very minor. not sure if a sequel is happening but I would love to hear of some new adventures or even something telling what happened to Ramon.

Very Good Story

Even though I avoid apocalyptic books this story was very good. Not graphic or gross. I can envision the two main characters arguing in the classroom then going at it later. Tristan James is the best narrator. It is why I picked this series.

Wowzers

Amazing mix of apocalyptic romance and the paranormal which was a huge surprise! I would never have thought to put these two tropes together but the author did it and made it amazing! Can't wait till I'm able to grab the next book.

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.
