First, I want to thank Netgalley and Montlake for this ARC!

I have to admit, this book most likely would not have been on my radar without Jeneva Rose writing it. I do enjoy apocalyptic stories, but usually more as a movie.

However, I really really do NOT regret reading this, seeing it was so much fun from the first page to the last. A lot of action and the enemies to lovers trope kept me hooked all the way.. And yes, there was some gore. It is a zombie story, after all. But I understand if that is not for everyone. Still, read the book if you can! I promise you won't regret it!

This was a different type of book than I am used to by this author, but I really enjoyed it. Gives a whole new perspective on the standard end of the world troppe. It gets you in all the feels. Highly recommend.

This was my first zombie/thriller/love story and it’s was AMAZING!! I never thought I would read this type of book but Jeneva is absolutely brilliant! I just wanted to keep reading this story, it made me laugh, cry, and drop my jaw a feel times! The plot twist in this book is crazy and I just have to say I hope there is more to this story!!! Thank you NetGalley, Montlake, and Jeneva Rose for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC!!

Trope:

So the world ends and your fiance leaves you in a dangerous situation, what do you do now?
You go back to your dad's compound that you spent your childhood building and your adulthood hiding from.
Casey spent her childhood helping her dad build a compound for when the world ended. She was bullied endlessly by Blake all through school and nicknamed Doomsday. After she became an adult she cut off most communication and tried to live her life running from her home life. Now after the world really does end and her fiance leaves her during an attack, she makes her way back to her dads.
But guess who's there? Blake. And now he's friends with your dad and sharing a room with her.

Will old feuds continue into adulthood? Or will they finally see what was there all along?

This story hooked me in from the very first page. It was tense in areas, funny, fight scenes, and a strong FMC who can hold her own. Jeneva has done it again and wrote another masterpiece.

I rate this read 5 stars!

Thank you NetGalley, Montlake, and Jeneva Rose for giving me the chance to read and review this book.

This story is extremely unique as well as different for this author typical stories. I thoroughly enjoyed the premise, and the characters. I felt like I was in a world of enemies to lovers, surrounded by the walking dead.

If I could give this book 6 stars I would. I devoured this book, what genre is it? I have no idea and I do not care. Passion projects can go one of two ways, and let me tell you - this one was a full throttle express to a very confident five stars. Shout out to mother goose, and soon to be Grandpa Goose for the idea (or inspo) for this book. Wow Jeneva, you have truly outdone yourself!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

Dating After the End of the World was my first Jeneva Rose book and I loved it. After a zombie apocalypse and her fiancé ditching her, Cassie has to return to her doomsday prepper father's house in order to survive after staying away for 10 years but finds her father is now best friends with the boy who made her life hell growing up. Let me just say, I love a zombie apocalypse story - and a zombie apocalypse romance is everything right in this world. This book strikes the perfect balance of funny, heartwarming, murdery, and heartbreaking. My only qualm is that I wanted more yearning from Blake. Otherwise, I did see the twists coming but that didn't make the book any less enjoyable. Thank you Net Galley and Montlake for the eARC!

Love it! This genre was so unique. Every time I would spend time reading it, I could just picture Jeneva as the main character.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC. I started reading Jeneva’s and was thrilled to learn she lived locally. She has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I would read her grocery list.

I never thought I would be one to read a zombie apocalypse book, but this one pulled me in from the start. This book gave me all the feels. An action packed enemies to lovers.

Highly recommend this book, even if zombies aren’t your thing. Jeneva’s personality shines right through.

Thanks to NetGalley I had early access to this book. As an avid lover of Jeneva I will read whatever she decides to publish even if it’s about the apocalypse! Even with burners and nomes she held true to her Jeneva ways and delivered an incredible book that leaves you desperate to read 6 more! As a part of her flock of geese I may be a tad biased, but she’s truly become my favorite author and I cannot wait for the next book, or 20!

Love every book by Jeneva Rose even apocalyptic books. There was so much in this book- you have enemies to lovers romance, zombies, family drama, humor, some broken trust, and more. I loved the characters in this story so well written and witty. This was thrilling and fun to read!

Wow! How do I even begin? This book made me cringe, laugh, cry, and gasp! I loved all the emotions I got while reading this extremely well written book. I have read all of her books and was lucky enough to get an ARC of this thanks to NetGalley. I did not want to put this book down as it had me needing to know what happened next at the end of each chapter. This book was so descriptive that I felt like I was the MC the entire read. This book comes out in September and I highly recommend you preorder it! Amazing job once again Jeneva!

WOW is an understatement!!
I love all of Jeneva’s books but went into this one thinking I would probably be disappointed since I’m really not into anything post apocalyptic but omg I loved it and didn’t want it to end!! From beginning to end the book keeps you hooked. I NEED the next book ASAP!! Well done Jeneva!!!

Thank you NetGalley, Montlake, and Jeneva Rose for opportunity to read this ARC!

When I read Jeneva’s comment saying this book is “unhinged”, I knew it would be a fun ride. I can honestly say I never expected to read, (and enjoy) an apocalyptic enemies to lovers story.

The enemies to lovers portion was multi-faceted, considering there was a past and present at play in the story. The tension was palpable and you know what they say, the line between love and hate can be so very thin. Their banter did not disappoint!

There is one character in the story that I think we will all love to hate. Utterly pretentious and perfectly written for the part.

The descriptions Jeneva used regarding the Zombies was gag worthy at times. I felt myself cringing from disgust. 👏 I think the gross visuals added the right element to the apocalyptic environment to help you remember this isn’t just a fluffy romance.

The *Twist* was good, and unexpected!

Enemies to lovers during a zombie apocalypse?! Jeneva Rose is one of my absolute favorite authors right now so I was very excited to get the ARC through Netgalley.
This book was just a good time! It has romance, betrayal, family drama, humor and zombies! It's not what she normally writes and I really do appreciate not being able to take this read too seriously.

Casey has childhood trauma that comes from her prepper dad. She spent summer after summer prepping for the end of the world. Of course she knew they would never have to use it. As an adult Casey has made a life for herself in Chicago while cutting off all communication with her father. One day everything is normal in the hospital where she works but suddenly the hospital is overrun with patents. When the chaos of helping patients is at his highest, she notices something alarming! ZOMBIES! This CAN'T be happening! Casey and her Fiancé decide to hide out in their apartment for a while. Before they know it, Chicago isn't safe anymore and they need to leave their home. With no place to turn Casey starts her trip back home in this new world that she was sure would never be.

When she arrives home, Casey is surprised to see not only her father but other survivors as well as her enemy.....

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. This book was an interesting read because I am not at all a fan of zombies or post apocalyptic worlds, but it kept my attention and I enjoyed the banter and dark humor. Fun read that I think many people will enjoy!

Overall the story was good and fast paced and despite some of the characters being a little over the top annoying I thought this was a fun read and will look forward to more from this author.

TW: gore, lots of gore

Thank you, net galley, for letting me get my hands on this early! I surprisingly enjoyed this one and that’s saying a lot because I’m not a zombie anything type of girl. This had the perfect mix of thrill, laughs, tender moments, and an enemies to lovers storyline. There was a lot of descriptive gore, so be warned.

So I want to start off by thanking Netgalley and Montlake for the advanced reader copy of this book. I am such a fan of zombies- if a zombie apocalypse is happening I want to read about it or watch it etc. There was a lot I liked here - it was fun, loved Casey, enjoyed all the battles and gore and sense of community. I just had such a difficult time with the romance in this book - enemies to lovers is for me but I’m not sure if former bully to lovers is. Maybe I don’t have the right level of forgiveness in my heart - but I just couldn’t get there to loving Blake the way Casey did or cheering for them to be together.

This book is a lot of fun - and I really enjoyed it. If I hadn’t struggled with the romance between these two characters it would have easily been a 4.5 star read. So if bully’s to lovers doesn’t bother you or if you have a more forgiving spirit then me - I’m sure this will hit a real sweet spot.

Dating After the End of the World was a quick an entertaining read! It has pretty much everything... romance, action, zombies, violence, drama and emotion. The characters are likeable and I found myself unable to stop reading because I wanted to know what happened next and what happened to them.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me this ARC.

🌶️ Spice!


This is officially my favorite Jeneva Rose book to date! It’s action-packed, funny, spicy, heartwarming, and had me on the best of emotional roller coasters throughout the whole story!

The best parts of my recent days have been the moments I’ve spent cozied up with these quirky characters and all of the new kinds of zombies created in this story. No-memory zombies, biters, and the worst kind of monster… the douchebag ex. 😅

Jeneva Rose has such a magical way of making you invested in her characters in the most original ways. I’ve read so many books, but always feel like her books bring something fresh and exciting every 👏 single 👏 time!

A MASSIVE thank you to #NetGalley and Montlake publishing for the chance to read this story in exchange for an honest review. It was a total blast!
