A free copy was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.

Steven Durant comes from a prominent family that is well known in the magical community, not for all good things either. After the death of his family he spends quite a bit of time developing a method to bring individuals back to life. He has many failed attempts on his animal experiments.

When Steve's boyfriend, Dax Everhart, has a freak accident and dies. Steve is on the move and tries his first human experiment to try to bring the love of his life back from death. What occurs isn't at all anything Steve could have accounted for. Dax is different from the normal zombie and grows more cognizant as he consumes human flesh.

I enjoyed it from the start although there were portions of the story where it got a bit vexing or slow for me. I liked that Steve was so devoted to Dax and vice versa, that he couldn't see beyond Dax's accident which caused him to to take action quickly.

It was interesting reading through the book, seeing the action and consequences of Steve's choices and karma like feel to what happened to him. I did have chuckles sneak out of me a few times.

I was curious about Dax's first victim. Dax had had the guy immobilized before Steve got to the door. But it wasn't really covered how Dax did it, just that he was enjoying filling his stomach. The ending was a little disappointing to me only because I was hoping the two could have it all and Steve really did bounce back from everything that happened to Dax and himself.
