When Horror and Romance collide, the world will never be the same again.
Kevin is your normal, everyday kind of guy. An office worker in a multistory tower block in downtown London, he feels like his existence is being swallowed up by the monster metropolis where he lives and works. Ignored, lonely, and lovelorn, he's desperate for a life, a reason to go on.
He has one in mind.
His co-worker, Rachel.
She is everything that he has ever wanted.
Four thousand miles away, someone else has other ideas about everything they have ever wanted ...
As hostilities between two superpowers escalate, a new weapon is created.
Agent Z is a super-weapon, capable of delivering a devastating blow to the enemy.
In the wrong hands, however, it can be something else entirely.
Love is a many splendored thing.
Humanity, however … that is fleeting!

My thoughts
I have previously read and reviewed The Twelve by D.E. McCluskey, which in it's own way is every bit as twisted as this one. If you enjoy reading horror then this is one writer that you need to be reading.
Z: A Love Story starts off with scientists messing with a virus in America, it's a weapon that has been created to use against another Country. The power of the virus is not entirely known and if it was then it might never have been created.
In London many miles away Kevin is an office worker, who has developed an attraction towards one of his co-workers Rachel.
As their attraction and relationship develops, across the Pond the repercussions of the virus become apparent as anyone who comes into contact with it is changed beyond recognition and then turns on others, as they are gripped by the life changing illness which they then spread.
For the most part this appeared to be a story of two halves. One half being dedicated to the spreading of the virus and the other the developing love story between Kevin and Rachel. As the virus becomes more widespread across the World, it's evident that the two halves might eventually meet.
I did find parts of it as the virus and the description of what happens to each victim a little on the repetitive side, but that's the only negative I have about it. It's quite thought provoking really and as we all know that with the advent of air travel anything that can be spread, will be spread and spread quite easily from person to person contact.
My thanks to TBConFB reviewer group for the opportunity of reading this in exchange for an honest review. I gave this a 4/5 stars or 8/10.This is not for the faint hearted as it's not only horrific, but violent too. I loved it though and was caught up in the story, wanting to know all the gory details.
