Product Description
Product Description
Zombies have devoured mankind. And the few survivors would be better off dead because a clan of vampires, bloodthirsty and vicious, have captured the remnants of humanity for livestock. In an apartment building barricaded with wrecked cars, concrete rubble, and snarls of barbwire, the vampires breed lobotomized amputees. Ann, the secret blood slave of the maternity doctor, has evaded this fate, yet her sister Ellie has not. Though she longs to escape, Ann cannot abandon her sibling and unborn niece. But she may have to if she wants to survive. The living dead have found a weak spot in the barricade and are quickly invading the building. Shade, the vampire monarch, defends her kingdom, while Frost, Shade's general, plans to migrate to an island where they can breed and hunt humans. In their path stands a legion of corpses, just now evolving into something far more lethal, something with tentacles--and that's just the beginning.

Vampires vs Zombies = human misery,
By
This review is from: Roses of Blood on Barbwire Vines (Paperback)
Some people, I am sure, will find this a superbly written novel and perhaps even quasi-erotic. Snell has a very creative and poetic writing style which, although impressive, I found it over the top. Snell takes the use of metaphors to the extreme and sometimes the links to the words he has replaced are so obscure that it takes time to interpret the sentence which gets a bit tiresome.
The zombies aren't really zombies in the true sense. Snell refers to them as 'puppets' as they are driven by a parasite that mutates and grows large tentacles, yes I said tentacles! As I bought this book primarily for the zombie aspect, this did disappoint me as I find the idea of the living dead with tentacles just a step too far! Vampire fans will probably enjoy Snell's take on the genre: he delivers a dark, sadomasochistic story which is as far a cry from Twilight as you can get. Despite my misgivings, this is still a good story with good characters, and in places will have you gripped...oh, why the tentacles :-(

A fairly good read,

This review is from: Roses of Blood on Barbwire Vines (Paperback)
I liked the basic storyline of this book, vampires fighting zombies over the last few humans left alive, and the vampires were suitably nasty etc.(I won't give anything else away, the synopsis says enough). However I sometimes found the book itself a bit hard going. In places it was difficult to decide if something was happening in a character's mind or not, and I found the descriptive language a bit strange. Having said that, I did enjoy it but in my opinion it is definately not light reading!!

Ummm interesting.,
By blackrose_19 "byes" (Basingstoke, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Roses of Blood on Barbwire Vines (Paperback)
If you are into horror movies and horror novels, this will be a shock to you because its a good mixture between the two hollywood monsters of zombies and vampires.
This would be more light hearted reading. Warning: This books not for the squimish. I did really enjoy the book, especially reading it alone in the house. :-)
