Ali has been hiding in an attic since civilisation collapsed
eight weeks ago.
When the plague hit, her neighbours turned into mindless,
hungry, homicidal maniacs.
Daniel has been a loner his entire life. Then the world
empties and he realises that being alone isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Finn is a former cop who is desperate for companionship, and
willing to do anything it takes to protect the survivors around him.
When the three cross paths they band together; sparks fly,
romance blooms in the wasteland and Ali, Daniel and Finn bend to their very
human needs in the ruins of civilisation.
Lust, love and trust all come under fire in Flesh as the
three battle to survive, hunted through the suburban wastelands.
_____________________
Flesh is book one in Kylie Scott’s Flesh
series about a world that has been destroyed by a plague that turns its victims
into zombies. I’m a big zombie fan, so when I heard Flesh was about a zombie
apocalypse, and two seriously hot dudes vying for Ali’s heart I knew I was
sold.
Ali has been hiding out in her neighbour’s attic, trying to keep her
rabbity heart calm so she doesn’t get eaten. On a supply run she meets Daniel,
all and built with gorgeous blue eyes. He thinks all his dreams have come true
when he finds Ali. Immediately his inner alpha is out and wanting to protect
the beautiful girl with grey eyes. Of
course Ali’s not too keen on this interloper, a man who is physically imposing
but who helps her realise staying in one spot is not the brightest of ideas.
They set off together hoping to find their own piece of safety. Daniel falls for
Ali pretty quickly, but she takes a bit of convincing. Their relationship progresses
pretty quickly, and some people may not think it’s convincing, but I enjoyed
how Kylie makes their relationship evolve. Together they steam up the pages.
Ali’s a lucky chick to have such a hot guy watching out for
her, but then along comes Finn; a blonde haired, green eyed, buff ex-cop. He
doesn’t thing Daniel is the right man to look out for Ali, he’s got the skills
to keep her safe, but realises her and Daniel have formed a solid relationship.
He joins their party, and between the two of them they are more than capable to
keep Ali safe. That’s when things get interesting. Daniel comes to the
realisation that he isn’t the best man to keep his love safe, so he tries to
convince Ali she needs Finn, in more ways than she thinks. She’s not too
receptive at first but she begins to realise she also has feelings for Finn.
What’s a girl to do? Have them both, that’s what. It might seem ridiculous but
Kylie makes it work. No-one knows how they’d act in an apocalypse and I like
how this new world is explored. Finn is more controlling and a take action
type, where Daniel is laid back and the voice of reason in their trio. If you
thought it was steamy before, wait until the three of them are together! It’s
enough to curl your toes and set the pages alight! The worst thing about this
book was trying to decide if I liked Finn or Daniel more!
The zombies are never far from the story, which I enjoyed. Ali
describes how they moan in the night, making sure our heroine and heroes never
forget their presence. She also describes their decaying bodies with such
effect it brings to mind the zombies on the Walking Dead. They are sufficiently
gory. Sometimes the story can be pushed back so the romance and sex scenes can
take over, now I’m not saying I don’t like those things, but I need a story
too. I loved all the action and tale of survival in a world that’s gone to
shit.
Flesh is an erotic, post-apocalyptic, addictive page turner.
I devoured this book, I just couldn’t get enough of the world Kylie has created
or the characters that inhabit the ruins. I was hiding out in the toilet at
work just so I could squeeze in another page! Kylie Scott is my new favourite
author.
5/5
