Today, I bring you an excerpt from Megan Martin's new novel, Alive. A Zombie, post-apocalyptic romance... yes that's right a romance in a zombie movie. Sit back down, this novel is totally different from WARM BODIES, yet still tantalizing. Check out the excerpt & giveaway below. This book blitz was brought to you by my friends at Xpresso Book Tours.
Alive (Cave #1)
by Megan D. Martin
Publication date: November 22nd, 2013
Genres: New Adult, Post-Apocalyptic, Romance
Flesh-eating zombies, dirty sex, and a shattered past…
What’s more dangerous—the man who broke her heart or those trying to eat it?
Fighting to survive, Eve finds herself alone in the world after the Crave—the only parallel of her former life. On the hunt for her sister, she runs into Gage—the first and only boy to have her heart and break it. It’s been four years and he isn’t a boy anymore, nor is he the same person he used to be. Against her better judgment, Eve agrees to stay with him when he divulges information on a safe haven near the small town they grew up in—but that doesn’t mean she has to like it…
Returning home elicits a myriad of emotions that both Eve and Gage thought they had buried. The past and present collide and they are forced to the face bitter deceits that ruined them in the before and threaten to destroy them now…
Excerpt
Here it is. The end of her life. Eve always knew it would come, and that it would be exactly like this. With a swarm of dead flesh and tangling limbs. She knew it wouldn’t be peaceful when she reached a ripe old age, holding her grandchild’s hand, and telling stories that he or she had already heard a million times. No, she knew that had never been in the cards for her. Not with the way the world had crumbled four years ago.
People had died in waves, the sickness ravaging their bodies within days, some within hours. It wouldn’t have been so bad if they had died and actually stayed dead. Yes, that would have been idyllic. But they didn’t. Once the virus had destroyed them, they came back, a shell of their former self—a jenk. At least that’s what Eve called them. They were what bedtime stories and bad TV shows tried to create before the Crave came. Zombies.
There was a small steamy excerpt, but I chose this one instead because I felt like it really gives the reader a good sense of what to expect in this novel. It sounds very intriguing.
