I’m happy to report that my feelings toward this sequel have basically remained unchanged!
Admittedly and repeatedly, this was heavier, more stressful, and significantly less enjoyable just because of the constant anxiety and inner turmoil of both Parker and Adam. Having said that, all their fears and reservations are completely valid, and their actions and reactions fall in line with what they have experienced in this new awful world order.
The love continues to remain strong, and though I really dislike one of their sexual proclivities, that is simply due to personal preference.
I’m off to read the long awaited conclusion!

Whew - that was one intense experience!
Reality has really sunk in and it isn't pretty nor reassuring. Nothing will ever be the same and that's truly sobering and depressing.
Doubt and fear run rampant as Parker and Adam both struggle with their own personal limitations and insecurities. The very real danger is not only the mindless, zombie infected wanting to tear their flesh apart, but also the other survivors who are trying their darnedest to not get dead - unfortunately by any unsavory means possible.
So these two wonderful guys are put through test after test - physically, emotionally - and though they were understandably, maddeningly frustrating at times (mostly Parker), the love they have for each other was the best thing about this story. They each knew they'd grab onto and fight with everything they had to keep what was theirs, and that was a wonderful thing to witness, despite all the twisty, emotional angst.
Though not as fast paced or thrill a minute as the first, I'm grateful for this sequel. It was well fleshed out and had a certain weight to it, equally intermixed with tender and hot lovin (minus one scene that's just not my cuppa). I can hardly wait to see what's in store for these two next!!
