Books I've Read (2008): The Down Home Zombie Blues
The Down Home Zombie Blues, by Linnea Sinclair: I am really glad I decided to stick with this author and keep giving her a chance. Because the (very major) pacing problems present in Gabriel's Ghost and An Accidental Goddess were gone in this book. I had a feeling the problems in those books were because she was still learning, and it looks like I was right. Anyway, The Down Home Zombie Blues is about a galactic special forces operative and a Florida policeman having to team up to stop these cyborg zombie things from destroying Earth and then the rest of the galaxy.
It was a fun book. Lots of action, lots of adventure, and lots of romance. It was a nice change of pace from other romance novels that Theo and Jorie never had all that much angst about whether or not they should get together and denying their attraction for one another. Because, well, I know how that dilemma's going to resolve itself so reading about it gets old fast. I still wish there were fewer romances where the hero and heroine fall in love after having known each other a week, but I also get why that's so often the case.
