Apocalyptic Moon

Fantasy Urban | Science Fiction | Romance Paranormal

Dr. Dora Adler is in the midst of a couple of crises. One there is a Z-phage pandemic going around in which humans are turning into zombies and in turn going after other humans. There is no cure. Second is her family history of the first born female dying around their 27th birthday. Today is her 27th birthday. She has no idea what this APOCALYPTIC MOON will bring her.

While doing her diagnostic thing for the hospital Dora is bitten by a zombie and whisked away to quarantine. Then after there are no signs of Z-phage, she is secreted away to a black ops lab, where she is used as a guinea pig to try to find a cure. A boring, painful existence until they drop him into her new world.

Dirk Gunderson is a werewolf, a tough guy with a little white teacup Chihuahua named Fang. He also makes a misstep and finds himself in a lab, sold by an enemy. He comes to to find himself with a gleipnir collar around his neck, a very painful accessory. There are a number of things he and the doc in the cell next to him need to do: get the collar off, escape, find her brother and niece and get back to his pack ... surviving the zombie's in the process. No problem. Biggest problem is when he realizes that she just might be a witch and no matter what his body and heart are saying mating with a witch is a no-no.

If you love shifters, witches, aren't squeamish and want to see what the end of the world could be like then APOCALYPIC MOON by author Eva Gordon is the book you will want to read. Even though it is about the end of the world there is quite a bit of humor laced throughout the pages, also a lot of sex appeal and the learning curve of a new untrained witch. The secondary characters are strong and unique with a variety of shifters (wolves, bears, and ravens) adding a lot to the storyline, especially Princess Rave, who is a rebellious raven. This is the first of a series and I cannot wait for more.

SUMMARY

Dr. Dora Adler's life has been in disarray since the beginning of the zombie apocalypse, but when she gets bitten by one of the undead her whole world is turned upside down. Held captive in a secret underground lab, the tall, muscular hunk in the next cell is her only hope for salvation. Unfortunately, he claims to be a werewolf. Yeah, and she's supposedly a witch.

Dirk Gunderson is an alpha Arbor pack werewolf. Captured and collared, he's sold to the zombie lab in hopes his blood serum can create a vaccine. He needs to escape, but not without the hot little brunette witch.

In the midst of enemy werewolves and the hordes of undead, Dirk and Dora's sexual tension ignites a blaze hotter than the desert highway. Along their journey, they battle the inevitable: a werewolf must never take a witch as a mate.

Excerpt

"My first lycanthropy case." The guy was psycho, but it didn't matter, he was immune to Z–phage. He'd be another lab rat to experiment on. Maybe they'd give her a break and poke him instead, giving her injection bruises time to heal. Still, he was mentally ill and needed her help.

Mansfield chuckled. "More like lupus or rather Canis lupus."

Dirk corrected. "Homo sapiens lupus."

She rolled her eyes and huffed, "Can I change rooms? Maybe one with a view?"

Dirk gave her a seductive gaze. "Actually, my view is stunning."

Her knees weakened and her voice disappeared. For once in her life, she had no smart–ass comeback.

Mansfield smiled. "All other rooms are reserved for the undead." He unlocked her door and dragged her out. "Time for your daily shower."

"Hey, take me along. I don't mind sharing a shower with the doc." Dirk winked at her.

Had he forgotten that he was strangled with a torture collar, locked up in a rat cage and oh yeah, the outside world overrun by zombies? It wasn't the time to flirt.

As Mansfield escorted her out, she twisted around and glared at Dirk. "Bite me!"

"I promise." He cupped his hands over his mouth and howled.

Damn real. She pulled away from Mansfield. "Great, I'm stuck in a psych ward."

****

Dirk paced his sealed prison cell. He sniffed. The stench of rotting flesh seeped through the walls. This fucking place was infested with zombies. They must be keeping a zombie zoo. One breach and they'd be overrun. Soon the hot little brunette would fall prey to the zombies. He needed an escape plan. ASAP.

The soldier that escorted Jaeger out had the virus. The soldier reeked of fear. He hid his recent bite. Oh well, not sharing. Only he and the woman mattered. He needed the access code since the damn door was werewolf proof.

Mad Scientist Mansfield definitely thought Dora could mate a werewolf. Why hadn't Jaeger mentioned that was impossible?
