Summary

This is a romance novella set in a post-apocalyptic world. It switches perspectives, bouncing back and forth between a female and a male POV.

Lucy was just nine years old when a deadly virus swept the country, killing most of the population and turning them into zombies. For the past 11 years, she’s lived in seclusion with her Uncle Seamus, a prepper who was more than ready for the end of the world. But all of Lucy's skills are put to the test when Seamus disappears, leaving her to face the harsh winter on her own.

Sawyer went into the mountains to escape his past, and when he stumbles upon Lucy in the middle of a blizzard, he doesn't think he's ready for the responsibility having another person in his life will bring. 

Only, Lucy isn't as helpless as she first appeared, and as they brave the long winter together, Sawyer will soon come to learn that even at the end of the world, there's more to life than just survival.

Damsels, rugged mountain men and Zombies.

I received this book via a free promo code and this is my voluntary review.

Lucy is only 9 years old when the world ends. A virus has taken both of her parents, killed 75% of the world population and changed the dead into Zombies. It hasn't been an easy transition, but her Uncle Seamus, a hardcore prepper, has kept her safe for the last 11 years. Mostly she's been okay but one day he goes out for supplies and doesn't make it home.

A fierce snow storm has her lost and injured, shes saved by a strange man called Sawyer.
He was a 20 year old marine when the world ended and 31 years old surviving in a post-apocalyptic world has left him reluctant to take on responsibility for her... not after he failed someone else years ago. As careful as her Uncle had been, people in the nearby settlement have noticed she's up the mountain... alone and unprotected.

Sawyer finds himself unable to turn his back on the scarlet-haired beauty. It's been a month since her Uncle was last seen, and the weather has the two of them end up snowed in for the winter together.

Slow burn, zero-zombies in this book but the snow has them frozen in the winter months.

Romance in the Zombie Apocalypse

More than Survival is a very well-written story with excellent characters. This is one of Kate L. Mary's earlier work, and the contrast with how she writes now is somewhat noticeable. That being said, the storyline is well-developed and enjoyable. The romance elements don't overpower the plot. Lucy and Sawyer's characteristics are genuine and believable. I wish there were action scenes about them surviving the zombie apocalypse.

Amber C. Morton does a great job with the narration, bringing the characters to life. I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.
