El Presidio Rides North

El Presidio Rides North - Domashita Romero,  地下ロメロ,  neomeruru A fun zombie blasting adventure started when Lady luck took a shine to pretty boy Gaga and he was rescued by batshit crazy Mercury from being mauled by a z-boy in a public toilet. Reluctant to leave a pretty thing alone, Mercury drags him along for a road trip to nowhere. Gaga is a pretty little thing on flighty twiggy legs as jumpy as a fainting goat. And that make him as cute as a button in Mercury's book. Mercury: "Fucking adorable," he said. "Anyone ever tell you you're fucking adorable?"I loved that Mercury is the exact polar opposite of clean cut, law abiding Gaga. He was well built, tough ass and laid-back guy whose sole purpose in life is to have as much fun as possible. Together, they make a quite a formidable pair blasting z-boys left and right with Mercury's deathly arsenal while traveling across the country in El Presidio a rigged-up RV that looks wayyy meaner than a war tank which runs on cooking oil and smells like french fries. What a hunger inspiring vehicle in the land-of-zom-nom-nommy. Gaga: "I was really hungry from the minute I got in here, because, it's weird, but..."Mercury: "It smells like french fries," Mercury said. "I know. It's the vegetable oil."Gaga: "Oh, good, I wasn't hallucinating." Reading this book feels much like watching an awesome stand-up comedian show. There are just so many witty remarks that I felt real urge to highlight the whole damn book. I really enjoyed the friendly banters between Gaga and Mercury the whole time and all those LMAO one-liners are freaking hilarious too. This is one of those funny moments I like so much..."After I have a run-in with a zombie, it's more like... my dick has retreated. Entirely into my body cavity."Mercury pointed at me. "That's because your key word is 'run.' Don't want anything dangling in the way while you beat those skinny little legs on the pavement.""Just another exciting feature of the flight instinct!" I said, and laughed a little.Now about the romance, it's there the whole time but on a slow simmer. This one is a true slow burn romance. Yes it is. Could be pretty frustrating at times when all you wanted was for them to start stripping away to end that overwhelming sexual tension in the air. Several times, I just wanted to shout, "Just DO him already and end his misery!" (ahem, and mine too of course). Nevertheless... Do. No. Fear... for when they got around to it, it was well worth the wait. The sex was the plug-it-in-and-hump type without the overused scissoring fingers involved nor the slightest mentioned of the men g-spot (prostate). Refreshing innit? Romero (author) had painted a zombie apocalypse world with just dialogues alone. Amazing right? We get to feel the dystopic devastation of our world through the Main Characters' vocalized emotion instead of the usual through-the-eyes POV. Yes, that means be ready for a whole lot of dialogues, basically the whole story is composed of dialogues and told in first-person point of view. With eccentric and fun character like Mercury and the naive lighthearted Gaga, there's never really a dull moment.The cons? Well, I was kind of put off by ..... the poor state of their personal hygiene and grooming - me hates uke with facial hair. Grrr... I wish I could run a shaving blade over those unsightly hair growth! Plus, body odor isn't sexy for me. :P All in, it's a fun story I would rec to anyone seeking bit of detour from the mainstream cookie-cutter M/M romance books.
