  • Makani Young grew up in Hawaii but has moved in with her grandmother in small-town Nebraska in order to escape her past.
  • She's made some friends and has a crush on cute loner Ollie that is just starting to develop into something more when a serial killer begins targeting her classmates.
  • As the grisly murders pile up, Makani starts to wonder if she'll be the next victim -- and also if she just might know the killer's identity.

Romance + mystery + slasher plot = a fun, gory read.

  • When the end of the world comes, Sloane Price could not care any less -- because it's the same day that she planned on killing herself.
  • After her sister runs away leaving Sloane behind with the father who has physically abused both girls for years, she's ready to give up -- and then the zombies come.
  • Sloane finds herself holed up at her high with five of her classmates trying to figure out how to survive and, more importantly to her, if there's anything worth surviving for.

For fans of The Walking Dead and those who like psychological thrillers as much as they like scary stories. If you like zombie books, you might also try Rot & Ruin (and its sequels) by Jonathan Maberry  and the Forest of Hands and Teeth (and its sequels) by Carrie Ryan.
