OK, I'll admit I have a weakness for zombie novels. Not that all of them are good, of course. Some move along at a breakneck pace, but the characters are so one-dimensional that it doesn't matter if they all die at the end. Others contain way too many boring, pseudo-scientific details about what caused the zombie contagion in the first place, and others contain zombies that are just not scary enough.

I'm happy to report that Zombielicious succeeded on all counts. The blurb and the cheesy cover a More...

Guest reviewer post : Zombielicious is an interesting balance of smut and zombie apocalypse. I enjoyed the romance novel sex scenes interspersed with the chilling man-eating walking corpse scenes. The transitional passages between the two extremes are weak, but who cares? We are talking about the zombie apocalypse! If you can get it on while you are surrounded by zombie guts and body parts, go for it!

The characters were entertainingly intertwined with related pasts and were on the edge of being More...

This book is crazy! I can honestly say I've never read anything quite like it. For starters, this is my first Zombie experience. This book is crazy! It is crazy fast reading. There are all kinds of pov changes with every character, and while a bit confusing at first, you get the hang of it after a while. It is almost non-stop action with crazy gross things happening. It felt a lot like a Rob Zombie horror flick or a video game, just crazy and gross and blood and guts everywhere, so much so that More...

I have no words. Seriously, this story is a crazy combination of Zombieland, Left For Dead, and Dawn of the Dead. Laugh out loud moments mixed and mingled with some of the most disgusting scenes EVER...and on top of that, a sweet, budding romance.

Big warning: if you are searching “only” a romance, Zombielicious is way more than that. And second warning, even if there is a gay couple, Walt and Joey, who really steal the scene are the two women, Jill and Molly, in good and bad.

The writing style is quite original, and in a way, “fast”: there are different acts, and for each of them we will read the different point of view of all main characters, always in the same sequence, Molly, Walt, Jill, Ace and Joey. Of course, I was more interested i More...

Timothy McGivney covers all the bases and he pretty much gets it right in Zombielicious.

Five survivors of a zombie apocalypse band together and fight, not always against zombies, for their survival, and in the process they learn about life, love and sorrow, as well as their companions. The plot is a little weak, but in truth, we’re not reading zombie stories for the depth of their plot. We’re interested in action, good storytelling, believable characters, zombies and zombies getting killed in gr More...

From Amazon: "Amidst a zombie outbreak, Walt, athletic and confident, meets shy and quiet Joey, the attraction between them both instant and electric. With strength in numbers, they band together alongside fellow survivors; Jill, an ex-porn star turned nurse who's made a startling discovery about her past; Ace, a disgruntled security guard who just can't live up to certain short comings; and Molly, the fiery redhead unwilling to give up on her dreams of stardom. In this apocalyptic new world of More...

Zombielicious is a horror story about zombies mixed with a lot of sex and several different narrators. I can see some readers appreciating the over the top style and the action film like fights so perhaps this is for the right reader. Unfortunately none of the various characters ever really appealed to me and I didn’t like any of the sex scenes, of which there were a lot. The book reminds me of numerous zombie movies so I can easily see some readers liking that but for me it failed in t More...

What I loved most about this was the intimacy of it. By telling the story through the eyes of the 5 main characters, our view of the catastrophe is limited to personal experience. There are no highlight reels of zombie attacks across the world, no montages of military or political agendas, and no scenes of desperate scientists trying to find a cure. In fact, we never find out how the zombie plague started, why it mutated, or what the end result will be. When you’re 5 survivors thrown together by More...

This book was very entertaining in a Zombieland kind of way. Essentially a book about the zombie apocalypse, Zombielicious has a rollicking cast. Walt and Molly are a brother and sister duo that fight zombies loaded with shotguns and attitude. Jill and Joey are rescued from a medicinal trials clinic where Ace is a security guard. I loved all the characters in this book, even the ones I was supposed to hate. My favorite character was Ace and you really have to read the book to understand my fasci More...

I am not usually a fan of zombies, and it takes a lot to pull me into such a book. Then, it has to be original and fun. So, it says something that I really enjoyed this book! The writing is excellent, the pacing very good, and the characters engaging. I was particularly struck by McGivney's ability to write from completely different points of view in terms of personality, and yet it is all authentic and original. The book is also funny, quite humorous, actually, which I very much enjoyed. Gay ho More...

I liked this way more than I thought I would. The rotating first person POV was a little disorienting at first, but once you got used to it, it was nice to be able to see what was actually going on in everyone's head. Honestly, the whole thing read like I was watching a movie, 'Sean of the Dead' style, with the same kind of wacky happenings and the survivors being picked off one by one, with the added twist of the obligatory romance being between two boys instead of a hetero couple. I'd definite More...

This book is a great read and a lot of fun. Right from the opening paragraphs, I felt as though I was watching a movie. I was immediately interested in the characters and there was so much action. This book is like a sexier, sharper take on the recent zombie series on that American cable channel.

This book is captivating and will keep you reading. You will find yourself wanting more when it ends. This is not your ordinary zombie type of book. Do not let the word "zombie" turn you away! This book More...

This was a fantastic read! It won't be everyones type of read but it's funny, pulpy, a mix of grit, sex and awesomeness! For me it was the perfect summer read :D Many times I would laugh out loud or underline my favourite quotes.

And the descriptions! So juicy and sensual! I actually underlined this one: "a writhing, cannibalistic pretzel of stinking, rotting flesh." Perfect!

When I started reading, I was a bit dubious that it was present tense, first person point of view. And then realised it w More...

This book was disgusting, but in that funny way. Like I would think “ewww that’s so gross” but I would be laughing really hard at it. There were Zombie brains and guts flying everywhere but that was kind of expected.

The sex is dirty like all kinds of wrong going on in this book with the sex, but it is funny. There is M/F sex and M/M sex and a ‘fade to black’ M/M/M sex and this is not really romance more just action and it was hilarious.

Walt and Joey were super cute though and they had some rom More...

Zombielicious is equal parts sex and zombie apocalypse in a fast-paced, over-the-top tale of finding love in the middle of disaster. Twins Molly (a spoiled brat whose greatest aspiration is to win a singing contest and have people do what she wants) and Walt (a perfectionist deeply ashamed of his sexuality who tries to make up for it by pleasing the people around him) meet up with Jill (an ex-porn star turned nurse who can't even use scientific terms for body parts), Ace (the security guard who More...

What an insane bastard of a book. Let me put it this way: If Chuck Palahniuk and Max Brooks had a baby, and then Dennis Cooper decided to novelize that baby's life, and then Quentin Tarantino made a film based on that novel; this is what you would get. And I would watch the shit out of that film.

So much fun from beginning to end! Great characters with great voices...don't let the zombies scare you away--there's a lot more to this book than just "horror". I'm waiting for the sequel...because I want more, more, more!

THIS LOOKS SERIOUSLY GROSS AND WRONG. IF YOU WIN, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, AND I WILL BARTER FOR YOUR COPY.

Am really dumbfounded as to what I should say about this book... Cheesy, but not in a completely bad way, fun and silly, too.

Good horror novel. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

This book is hard to rate because the writing isn't bad, but the characters are mostly caricatures and the plot is completely predictable. The book doesn't take itself seriously and there are some funny, if disgusting, moments. There is a comic-book quality to the writing which would make this better, illustrated. Plus, the gore would be fun.

The plot line is, in turns, silly and surreal, but it isn't boring and this is a fast read. I'm not sure who to recommend this to, except zombie More...

I'm actually surprised. A thoroughly enjoyable, fast-paced ride that we get to view from each character's perspective. Molly was crazy in a very unpredictable way. The only thing that brought this down a star was Walt and the insta-love. Reminiscent of the movie Zombie Land.
