I've read more intense zombie apocalypse books. It starts off well but then about halfway in the author spends way too much time with the main character analyzing her feelings for every man she meets. (less)

Is it a mature read due to violence or due to sexual content? How mature are we talking here?

Myste It's definitely a mature read. There are drawn out, detailed sex scenes and the violence can occasionally become graphic. It wasn't even written well.…moreIt's definitely a mature read. There are drawn out, detailed sex scenes and the violence can occasionally become graphic. It wasn't even written well. It was just exhaustively specific and gross, especially the sex -- as an adult, I felt more like I'd accidentally picked up a dirty romance novel, and I did not like it at all. So if you're not into dime-store smut or medical style (dry and factual) gore, I'd just avoid this one.

Notable, there isn't a lot of gore because there isn't a lot of action. This is more romance than horror.(less)
