Description for Mira Grant's website: It was the summer of 2014, and the true horrors of the Rising were only just beginning to reveal themselves. Fans from all over the world gathered in San Diego, California for the annual comic book and media convention, planning to forget about the troubling rumors of new diseases and walking dead by immersing themselves in a familiar environment. Over the course of five grueling days and nights, it became clear that the news was very close to home…and that most of the people who picked up their badges would never make it out alive.

This novella is part of the newsflesh series, and explores what would happen if a zombie outbreak occured a comicon. And interesting read although it felt a little bit rushed.

If you are looking for a hot, sensual and thrilling (on more than one level) quick read, then I suggest you try out Felicity Heaton's first book in the Vampire Erotic Theatre series. This book lets you dip your toe in the vampire's world. It gives you a run down on the difference between the two sets of vampires and gives you a quick insight into what their world is like. There are characters in here that make the story very intriguing - and not just Javier and Lilah!

I love the groundwork that the author has put down, these details are what makes a book special and very, very readable.

If you want something bland and boring, then pass by this Novella. This is hot and spicy - loved it!

This is one enjoyable book with a Kodiak bear that will make you want one for your very own. This was my first foray into the world of Shifters Unbound and it won't be my last. Although this is part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone without any confusion - or at least I didn't find it confusing. There is enough detail given about mated pairs that I want to read their stories just to be nosy but nothing that gives anything away or leaves you wondering enough to drive you crazy.

The story itself is very well written and comes complete with action, tenderness, romance and fistfights.

This is only a novella so it does go quite quickly but definitely recommended to all Shifter fans.

A little too short
I'm all for a Stephen King short story/novella and as this goes this is a very good story, it's just far too short. The fact that this has been released as a separate book in it's own right is rather astounding. Not because it's not an enjoyable story, as it is, but because it doesn't even reach 130 pages. And these are very large type face, spread out pages with lots of pages of (admittedly beautiful) illustrations.

I'm guessing the illustrations are the reason why this was released on it's own, and these are some stunning illustrations, but I don't necessarily think they justify releasing this as a sole book. Despite this though, it is still a well structured and written and overall entertaining short story.
