Read this one right after liking Loathe at First Sight but this was disappointing from start to finish. I liked the idea of the two potential love birds getting together during a multi day zombie themed adventure race but that part actually seemed rushed and the not focus as I expected it to be.

Quick read so very little investment here but I’d skip this one if I were you. (

It's really hard to root for the protagonist in a romance novel if you don't like him. Nate spends the book negging Kate and her interests, at one point literally calling her a "snowflake." He's the kind of prep school kid that idolizes tech billionaires, and he literally solves the climactic conflict using cryptocurrency and a digital wallet. Occasionally he's obtuse about what's going on around him, and the whole "money isn't everything" storyline was flimsy at best. I feel like, in my opinion, a lot of this book was a matter of "good idea, poor execution," unfortunately. (

Nate and Kate meet while working at a Zombie escape room business. Set in Seattle, a local tech company is hosting a zombie themed survivalist competition, the cash prize being substantial and something both want to win. I was a little disappointed this only took up the last part of the boo, I found I was invested in the other storylines that helped shore up the book, (

Nate and Kate are co workers at a zombie escape room. Kate has a distant father and her mother has died and all Kate can think about is escaping. Nate’s family is always a little tight on money and he can’t help but feel self conscious about it since he’s on scholarship at a prestigious school. There are conflicts of loyalty and examinations of what it means to be a friend or part of a family. (

Nate and Kate. Separated by income levels and natural talents, connected by a need to be free, for Nate from the fear of financial ruin at home, for Kate, the need to escape a father who went into extreme authoritarian mode after her mom died. Both feel trapped. When Kate takes a job at the Zombie escape room where Nate is the director of the event several nights per week, they feel something beginning and the more time spent together and commiserating, the stronger the appeal, even though their rational selves believe nothing could come from it.
When Kate talks Nate into entering a Zombie Survival Weekend with a $50,000 prize, little do either of them know how it will unwind, but desperation does amazing things, and by the time the weekend is over, the results are pretty surprising as is what follows. I thoroughly enjoyed every page in this book, loved Kate and Nate, hated her dad, admired Nate's parents when they finally explained why their life was the way it was, and found the ending to be very satisfying.
