Description
Having sex with an ice-covered, smudgy-eyed woman in tattered fishnets and a barely-there mini-skirt is Hayden Thomas’ first mistake. His second: thinking he’s in control of what happens next.
The city of Boston is hostage to Snowmaggeddon and rumors about zombies roaming the streets, looking for human flesh, drift among the citizens. Hayden Thomas, tabloid newspaper writer, is out to get something fresh about the phantastic creatures. At the Boston Public Library, he uncovers some dubious research suggesting that some zombie tribes use human sexual energy, not flesh, for sustenance. The next thing he knows, he’s tangled up with a brutal woman who is as merciless as she is demanding.
In a city frozen by fear, there is no escaping the punishing depravity of the tribe.

You've seen slow zombies, and fast zombies. You've seen Haitian Voodoo zombies, Deadite zombies, and Vampire zombies. Hell, you've even seen radioactive mutant ghoul zombies. I'm willing to bet, however, you've never seen erotic sex zombies - and, if you have, never quite like this.
Servant of the Undead is hard to pin down to any one genre. It works as horror, erotica, paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and even pop culture homage. It's the story of Hayden Thomas, a tabloid reporter who is looking for something fresh, and who (ironically) stumbles across something rotten.
His discovery of a book about zombies who look normal, and who engage in kinky sexual rites, promises to wow his editor, but it also catches the attention of somebody else - a sexy, arrogant, young woman in fishnets, fingerless gloves, and a tiny skirt who seems completely unaffected by the cold and the snow as she makes her way in through a library window.
Isabelle Drake doesn't spoon-feed the reader, and I like that. We're in the dark for much of the story, not understanding what Mattie really wants of Hayden, or what the rest of her tribe wants with Rachelle, Hayden's mortal girlfriend. Interwoven into the scenes of cold, sometimes cruel, erotica are themes of power, control, and consent that make this so compelling. While it's hard to form an emotional attachment to any of the characters, it's all too easy to be fascinated by their struggles, and excited by their angry sex.
Servant of the Undead wasn't quite what I expected, and it's better for it.

I actually enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to. I requested it due to it being Horror and Zombies but the Erotica side of it I wasn't sure about. As it turns out though it worked really well as a story and actually gave a good new angle to the genre.

I would call this book more erotica than horror. Not much horror really but very grounded and as realistic as a fictional book can be. Overall I did enjoy the book it was a easy read and my first taste of erotica was good it had story thrown in with the sex so that was good. Wouldn’t mind reading a sequel or two as some questions are unanswered.
