Kill or Cure is a YA romance-infused sci-fi novel. It focuses on human relationships in an undead, apocalyptic world. A girl who will stop at nothing to protect her brother. In a dystopian world ravaged by infection, society as we know it has fallen to the mouths of the dead. The remaining fragments of civilisation survive in walled compounds, scattered in the depths of the countryside. When her little brother becomes sick with a suspected flu virus, Alyx Silverthorne will do anything to keep Tommy alive. With limited medical supplies and only herbal alternatives, his prospects of surviving this mystery illness are bleak. But saving Tommy is just the beginning. The infected are not the only monsters that exist in this new world, and human nature can be more destructive than the dead. In a race against time, Alyx and her best friend Will stop at nothing to protect him, even from the same people that swore to protect them all. Kill or Cure is a dynamic, multifaceted story of teenage love and gut wrenching loss in a dystopian world.

A Recipe for enjoyment

Today's Recipe:

2 cups of ravenous zombies by @thereanimatedwriters

1 lb of badass female YA protagonist, as so well done by @jkwilson29

Stir well while adding 2 tbs of young romance, as written by @cassidyreyne

Simmer for 178 pages.

The result? A delightfully tasty reading treat called Kill or Cure by @pixie.britton. The zombie sub-genre is full to overflowing with outbreak stories, but this story takes place a few years after the original start of the end. While there are zombies, or "infected" as they're called in this book, this is more a book about family, surviving with the ones you love, and the power of perseverance. Alyx may not be the ultimate alpha female in the genre, or even in this book, but she still radiates enough gumption to earn the title "kick-ass".
Britton has created a fun little story, with a cast of characters and a storyline that make it impossible tio put down. I'm just hoping that when the zombies do take over, I have my own group of Alyx, Suzie, Will, Colt and Tommy to hang with.
.
My Rating: 4.5/5 stars

If you want a heart pounding Familial story set in the Zompocalypse give this book a try

What's not to like about this book?

First off it isn't your typical run of the mill, zombie apocalypse novel. The book starts with the leading characters already years into the apocalypse living a peaceful life in a settlement, safe from the dangers outside. Only they come to realize pretty quickly they were never truly safe. Once lead female Alyx discovers her younger brother scratched by a zomb the family assumes the worst. Only little Tommy doesn't appear to be like anyone else alive. Unlike ever before Tommy doesn't turn and so starts a heart pounding page turning adventure full of action, tears, blood, guts and most of all love.

I enjoyed reading this over my camping weekend. The characters are very likable, which pulls on your heart strings, since its the zombie apocalypse. Some may get eaten! It's not your normal run-of-the-mills zombie read. Tommy (The brother) somehow survives the infection and turns into something MORE. He exhibits traits that I thought were almost vampire in resemblance. Insatiable hunger, clear good-looking skin, and strength. I cant wait to see what happens to him next. Then there's the romance! LOVE IT! lol. I enjoyed Will and Colt banter with Alyx. Will may have waited too long to swoop her off her feet. Especially, now that Colt is in the picture. I have to say, I'm on team Colt. He seems so much hotter. Great read if you're looking for a Zombie Romance with twists and turns along the way.

You know, it doesn’t happen very often that I start a series based on the fact that it was offered for free and have no idea about the storyline (except for the zombies!), and have been pleasantly surprised and completely engrossed in both the storyline as well as the characters. I can’t wait to start the next one in the series. If it’s anything like book one, I know that I will love it!!! To the author: Keep ‘em coming!!👍🏾😎

This was good but not great.
The characters were a little flat, the action entirely wasn’t believable and I have no idea of Tommys age.
At one point he’s a preteen, then he seems to be of a similar age to the rest of the group.
The relationships are a bit weird, they seem a little forced and unnatural.
The main issue was that too much happened too quickly, but with no building of tension it all kind if fell flat.

I enjoyed this authors take on the Zombie Apocalypse. The vivid descriptions draw you in and keep you flipping the page. As far as the siblings relationship, I enjoyed it’s prese. This is a girl that will do anything to protect her brother. Even risk her own life. The potential love triangle doesn’t bother me, and I wouldn’t hate for it to become a ménage instead of her choosing. ;) I’m greedy like that. Overall, really enjoyed this story and the authors vision. Can’t wait to see what happens next.

I find it hard to find a good zombie book these days. I'm picky about what I read. Once I started reading this book I couldn't put it down.
The book follows 2 siblings, their uncle, and a close family friend. After Tommy, the brother and youngest sibling, gets scratched and infected they go on the run from a settlement where they thought they were safe. The journey teaches them about love, desperation, and what it really means to have family.
If you read this book you will not be able to put it down. It's fast paced adventure will have you turning the pages until the very end.

This book was well-written and kept me turning pages! I absolutely recommend it for anyone who likes the Dystopian/Zombie genre or any newbies to the club. I cannot wait for the next book so I can continue the journey with these characters who I am now vested in! Give it a read, you won't be disappointed!

Really enjoyed this book

I purchased the book despite having a free Kindle copy as I knew I'd enjoy this book........and I wasn't wrong.
From the moment I read the first chapter I was hooked. With the way the characters are introduced and described I felt as though I knew them and straight away was concerned for their wellbeing etc.
The story follows a solid story line and flows really well. Not jumping around the place or planning irritating time jumps.
Without spoiling anything there were a couple of scenarios that occur in the book that for me were bold and a lazy writer could have taken the easy option, but thankfully in this case, the author didn't.
I'm already itching to read the second installment and I hope that it isn't far away.
Thank you for a great read, thoroughly enjoyed it.

This is the authors 1st published work and a great start to what should be an exiting series. Yes, there are zombies. But... there is a good storyline here with relatable characters,not too gory scenes and readable for teens to adults. Looking forward to the next book!💥😁💥

I've absolutely LOVED this book!!!! OMG! I can't wait for the next one to be released. This author is definitely one to watch! The story was soo captivating I couldn't put it down and read it in one go. The characters are so well developed and the plot is totally up my street. Massive fan of this genre and Pixie made me totally dive into Alyx' world. If you are a fan of the Hungar Games series or something like Walking Dead then this is the book for you!!

This is a brilliant, pacy, gripping read with engaging characters and I can't wait to read the next book. It's emotive and intense and the characters stay with you. I love a story that you still think about long after you've read it and I'm so glad I got to read this. I often drift in and out of some stories, but this kept me locked in. An excellent story, written with flair and executed with inspiring imagination.
