Blurb:
One day her prince would
come…disguised as a zombie-killer.
Having been
disgraced and tossed out by her own scientific community, Gwyn is convinced she
can develop a cure for a SuperVirus that has turned the Infected into zombies.
By pure luck and determination, she has survived on her own for years, but
while out scavenging, a clash with the local zombies leaves her potentially
infected. Now, running out of time, she needs help and takes a chance on a hero
for hire.
Rafe loves
the apocalypse. Since the world went to hell, everything’s come up roses for
him. Having procured a mansion in the Hollywood hills, adopted a slew of
homeless boys and one cantankerous but useful Doc, Mr. Charming is benefiting
from the nasty zombie infestation. His job? Killing the bastards, which he
considers fun anyway.
Gwyn Snow
needs Rafe Charming to help retrieve her research from the Paragon
Pharmaceuticals lab, also known as Zombie Central. Believing she can yet save
the world, Gwyn makes Rafe question what’s right and what’s worth the fight.

Review:
Hero For Hire was a great, quick, hot, fun (yeah, even with Zombies-I found the humor in this story) read. For a shorter story, Hero For Hire is very detailed with background info but not overly so. It is just enough to let you understand what is going on in the world you are reading about.
Rafe & Gwynn do jump into bed together rather quickly, but that's ok! When 3/4 of the world's population are zombies and you find a great guy who isn't...well, I'd jump him quickly too!
The authors take on Snow White and company fit perfectly into the story. I really enjoyed this book and I know you will too.

My name is
Merissa McCain. I grew up in the African bush, without T.V, and often
without electricity. I now live in the deep South, with my very own superhero,
and my three minons. Together, we attempt to take over the world.
When not
otherwise occupied with planning world domination, I love to read, write, drink
strong coffee and eat dark chocolate--not necessarily in that order and
sometimes all at once. I'm a voracious
reader, and will devour any type of good fiction I can get my hands on, but I'm
particularly partial to happy endings.
I write
with a partner (Margaret Madigan) and on my own. We love to hear from our
readers, so please shoot us an email at Merissa.mccain@gmail.com or mmadiganauthor@gmail.com.

ReplyDeleteHi Kerry--
ReplyDeleteMerissa here. Sorry I'm late to the party--I'm in Africa right now so my time schedule is a little messed up.
Thanks so much for having us, and I'm ecstatic that you enjoyed the story. Like Margaret said--it was a blast to write, and I'm having the time of my life sharing it with the rest of the world.
