American release date: February 14, 2013
Format/Genre/Length: EBook/ Paranormal Romance/16 pages
Overall Personal Rating: ★★★
Wunder is
a wonder to her father. Her mother was bitten shortly before her birth by one
of the zombies running rampant in the land; therefore Wunder is one quarter
zombie. Luckily for her, she suffers none of the harsh side effects that go
with being a zombie.
Fast
forward from Wunder’s birth to her blossoming as a woman in love with a guy
named Pete.
And that’s
mostly what this book is about. Wunder and Pete connecting, hence the
paranormal romance aspect.
Wunder is
only 16 pages. As the first in a series, I have to hope the other books are
longer, because this is barely long enough to get your feet wet.
There are
problems with this book, I won’t lie. It would have benefited from better
editing, eliminating those pesky tense changes. There is just not much meat to
the story, either, but how much can you expect to see in 16 pages?
That being
said, I saw the twist coming from the beginning. And I have to say the story
involves a pet peeve of mine – two innocents, having sex for the first time,
yet they seem to know exactly what to do, and there’s no pain, no blood, no
mess of any kind.
So why do
I give it three stars? Because deep down it’s cute and sweet, and has
potential. I just think it should have been fleshed out before being released.
There is no real story development, and little character. I’m looking forward
to seeing more of what the author can do, if she’d allow herself time and room
to do it in.
It’s a
short, sweet read with an interesting twist on zombies, but it’s a little
lacking too. But it’s also a nice first effort, Miss Von.
