Recruitz: 
In a world that has supposedly recovered from a zombie outbreak, Rebekah and her husband a trying to rebuild their life until Rebekah's husband is targeted and killed by a strange-acting group of zombies. Rebekah fears that these zombies were different than the rest and the attack was planned due to her husbands research.  In her grief, she determines that there is a conspiracy and Rebekah turns to revenge.  Meanwhile, Rebekah has to put up a facade of normalcy, or else be taken away.  Rebekah sets out to place herself into the world of the dangerous people who train these strange-acting zombies, with the help of a bartender, Preston, she finds more than she thought possible. 

I liked that the story takes place in the 'afterworld'- a world that is recovering from a zombie apocalypse.  There is still danger, but it is from an unlikely source, the one that Rebekah and Preston are determined to bring down in revenge for their loved ones.  Now, zombies are being trained to fight one another or a specific target, essentially being used as weapons.  This gave the story a unique plot with something other than just killing all the zombies. There is also a science-fiction twist with the idea of cloning going on.    From the prologue, I knew that this story would be good, an emotional opening, but one that fuels Rebekah's intentions. Rebekah is an extremely tough character and I enjoyed seeing her increase her skills in an attempt to uncover the conspiracy.  Preston is a nice balance to her character, sweet but tough and smart. Preston and Rebekah sort through conspiracies and cover-ups offering up there are plenty of thrills, action sequences and emotional roller coasters

Before her death Cali's mom tell's her to "know everyone...trust no one."  Now, Cali is on the run and out for revenge on the man that destroyed her family's life.  Her father has stolen something that has placed their lives in jeopardy. Cali's father is in hiding and a man named Reaper has already killed Cali's sister, Krissy, to try and pull Cali's father out of hiding.  As Cali's life become's more endangered, Cali's father places her under to protection of yet another bodyguard. This bodyguard, Tango, is very different from the other's and has a secret of his own.

From the prologue, I was absolutely hooked. A great blend of new adult romance with suspense and thrills. I was thrown into the  suspense and danger of the situation that Cali was in right away.  I also immediately got a feel for Cali's character and connected with her, from having to watch her sister be murdered in front of her and knowing that she could have done something about it, was heart-wrenching.  However, from that point on I knew that Cali was going to be a pretty kick-butt heroine, and she did not disappoint.  When Tango entered the scene, things got even better. A perfectly sculpted marine with an intriguing secret, Cali's character is never quite sure of his intentions, even though she would like to trust him. The point of view switches between Cali and Tango, with a distinct voice for each character.  Cali and Tango's relationship is incredible, without any insta-love and with so many sweet moments. This was one that I read in one day!
