Save Me (Finding Love in the Zombie Apocalypse) (Life After the Outbreak Book 1)

I liked the book but I'm a little unhappy that the writer did not mention when a sequel would be coming out. I don't mind a cliff hanger ending if I know answers will be forthcoming! So when is the next Life After the Outbreak book going to be out? I would have given this book a five star rating if she did not run on and on and on and on.......at times. When asked are you two in love it took three pages to get to the point where the question was not going to be answered. Andi, the protagonist, spends so much time in her head and being childish that it distracts from the storyline! The story concept, world building and plausible ideas keeps the reader interested and makes you want to read more. Please, LJ Baker, make the girl get out of her own head and grow the hell up a little!

I accidently purchased this book and was very mad at myself. I was in my jammies, comfy in bed and looking forward to immersing myself in a good book. I knew nothing about this one. I decided I didn't feel like trying to deal with getting a refund and trying to find another book so I gave this one a try. I was very pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the story, the characters and the authors ability to weave a story. My favorite character was definately Dan. I hope he's in all 3 books.There are some annoying typos but I've purchased books in the past with a lot more. They're easy enough to gloss over. I devoured the book and although I didn't finish it that same night, I did finish it in the morning and moved onto book 2, which I purchased on purpose!If you're into YA book, zombie apocolypses or just a good yarn, it's a good purchase.Small spoiler below:There were some areas that I had trouble believing... I mean even if I could allow myself to believe in the apocolypse or zombies, I could not get past my suspension of disbelief and allow myself to believe that this girl chose to live in the streets and wandering instead of her own basement which was secure, had hot water and food. I know the author tried to explain her reasons but I just couldn't go there with her.

*** MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS***First Impression: Honestly I am not a big fan of the cover and yes, I am incredibly guilty of judging books by their covers (I know I’m a horrible person) so I was a little hesitant on starting this book but I was at a loss for anything else to read so I decided to go for it and put my cover judgements aside. I’m a sucker for apocalyptic romance so I loved the book description which is the only reason I gave the book a chance.Review: It’s really hard for me to stay interested in a book (especially romance) when the authors take like half of the book explaining what’s all going on with the character and all their background before they ever introduce the love interest. So I liked that it only took a couple of pages before Andi (I love her name, total tomboy) meets Will when he saves her from being a horde of zombies dinner. I know total cliché, boy saves girl, but she doesn’t just fall head over heals for him right away. She makes him earn her trust throughout the book. Two peeves on this book. Will is kind of a cry baby though. I felt like every time they had a conversation the dude ended up crying. I’m all for a man showing his emotions but I also don’t want a guy who cries more than me… But still it’s hard not to love him. He does whatever he has to to protect Andi and is still a little shy even though he’s like four years older than her. My other peeve is with the main character Andi. Throughout the book she makes one stupid decision after the next and is lucky she doesn’t get Will and herself killed. She kept saying how she did just fine on her own before she met Will through the whole book but I honestly have no idea how. She’s not a very strong and she’s honestly really immature. It’s like every decision she made left you like, what the hell dude?Will tries to teach her how to use a crossbow because guns are totally impractical for a zombie apocalypse but she whines about it constantly. And then she has a weird thing about not wanting to kill any animals to eat. Like you can shoot a zombie corpse of a little kid but bambi is where you draw the line? I just can’t…It’s hard not to like the other characters in this book. You start out hating Janet, who knew Will from a group they were with before. You become the crazy jealous girlfriend when she’s around and just wan’t to punch her in the face but somewhere along the way she grows a soul and ends up being decent, And then there’s Dan, OMG Dan… LJ Baker needs to write a book just for him because I swear I think I would marry the dude. He falls for Andi whenever they meet but is totally respectful of what Will and her have. He is the best friend who is totally hot but you could never see as more than a friend. Well, at least Andi can’t, I totally could.Overall: This was an easy read. I started early Saturday morning and finished around 8 in the evening and that’s with visiting family and going out to dinner during the day so this didn’t take long to finish. It was pretty hard for me to put down but I don’t feel a huge urgency to pick up the next in the series to find out what happens. If you want an easy weekend read but nothing that’s going to keep you from accomplishing anything else, then I totally recommend this book.

When I first saw this book released I wanted to read it but never picked up until a few weeks ago. I don`t know why I didn't pick it up sooner, maybe because It`s so good and there are 3 books in the series and I don't like waiting. Save Me is about a girl named Andi, who is living and trying to survive in a zombie world. Everyone she knew and loved died and she is just trying to survive and never knowing what could happen to her each day. She almost joins the zombies when she is saved by Will, a boy with green eyes and causes Andi to think maybe its ok to not to be alone. I really loved Save Me, I had no idea where this book was headed but I loved it. I always wonder If this could happen to us, but I wouldn't want it because each day is a mystery and very hard with someone out there could hunt you. Andi to me proved that its possible to survive.

The author is a very good writer and although the main female character is a whiny, insecure, irritating person, the story rolled along like a YA story gathering speed until chapter 9. And Janet. The story which was loosely apocalyptic until then ( more of a romance with a few zombies thrown in) got tedious. I have eat the rest at a fast somewhat skimpy pace just to get it over with.

I have to say I read all three books in one day....yeah I know, but I laughed, cried, cringed and barracked for the good guys. I really really enjoyed all three books! At 42 I s&m probably not the intended age group but I have to say it was really well written, very well edited and each page was thoroughly enjoyable! Well done, kudos go out to this author.

Loved it! Loved all the characters! Having trouble finding another series as good as this one!

I love a book that brings the characters to life. Save me was that type of book.This was a really enjoyable book to read and can't wait to see what happens to these characters I have gotten to like.

I was looking for a new apocalyptic romance series and came across this book. So far so good. The author has built up the characters sufficiently to engage me in their journey and be concerned about their future. On to book two. Great world building.
