This book started off with a scene of explicit depravity that would make Ed Lee proud, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I was hooked right away and that's what carried me through the rest of the book. After that, it became a romance complete with InstaLove and some steamy lesbian sex between the Older Wiser Stronger Emotionally-Unavailable longtime lesbian MC and the Younger Enthusiastic Softer Idealistic Never-Been-With-A-Woman-Before co-MC. It's a bog-standard romance, dressed up in an implausible zombie scenario - in fact, all of the worldbuilding was one big "WTF?!?!". The romance - well, if you're at all familiar with the genre there will be absolutely no surprises here for you. The last two thirds of the book featured predictable plot and character development punctuated a few times by sex. I kept hoping for more of the horrific depravity the book started off with but it never happened again. In a sense, it feels like a bit of false advertising, but OTOH I've met my annual quota for romance.

This is an erotic short about a kink that I'm not particularly into, and yet it held my interest. As always, Vanessa's writing is leagues ahead of most in the taboo erotic genre, and her development of the characters as rounded people rather than vehicles for orifice oriented gymnastics makes the smut that much hotter.

Lactation isn't on my list of kinks, but I'll read anything Vanessa writes. I wasn't disappointed; it was hot and arousing and "did the job", so I'm sure people who are into lactation would be even more impressed.
