Blog Tour: Steel Rose by @NighttoDawn1 with #review


Horror / Sci-Fi
Date Published: February 2, 2013


   
Sometimes they come back. At least the Kryszka aliens do. Their leader captures humans and injects a chemical to turn them into zombies. Yeron escapes their underground colony to practice human medicine, but most people fear him. Alexis, his patient, is afraid, too…until his seductive attentions profoundly arouse her. He develops a drug to control her pain from disabling arthritis, but her weakness prohibits her from handling most weapons. The Kryszka soldiers and zombies who break into the hospital are hungry. So very hungry. How will she fight them?



Review
I'm a huge sci-fi fan and this novel really reminded me of the TV series Falling Skies. The aliens take over the human bodies and turn them into zombies.

Alexis is a strong main character who had a lot of great qualities to her and made her easy to connect to.

This novel is extremely gruesome and when it says it is also Horror, it does not lie. It is not for the faint of heart by any means. There are definitely darker themes in play.
