Love. The one thing any of us would probably quite literally die for. Except for Brayden Chastain. If there was anything Brayden wanted, it was to avoid love at all costs. Girls were a thing he could casually use and then avoid. Commitment sucks. Too much pressure. Being responsible for another person's feelings sucks. Having to share things about yourself sucks. Dating is awkward. He just wants to see you naked. In fact, that's all he's been thinking about since you sat down. And he'll get what he wants. Popular boys like him always do. Right? Enter Katie Cooper. An awkward, what am I doing here, I want to take a nap kind of girl. Sure, she was best friends with the most popular boy in school, Brayden Chastain, but that didn't make her any more visible. If anything, they were too busy looking at him to even notice her. Her boyfriend cheated on her. Her dad left her mom. Love, to Katie Cooper, was just a word people used until they got tired of using it. She would always think this way. Little did she know that one night alone with someone she'd never expect would change the way she feels about love forever.

AN EXTRACT: I ran faster, driven by the skeletal, cadaverous bodies struggling after me. We reached Marks Street but didn’t stop. My feet slapped the ground beneath me as I put everything I had into my ever-reaching legs. As I whipped my head back to track our followers, desperately trying to run faster my foot caught on a crack in the cobblestones. I stumbled towards the ground with the wind wailing in my ears. My shin landed on an iron pipe, bent and discarded in the lonely lane. We had no choice but to turn and fight. Tamara is taken under the wing of a local group of survivors. The world is in chaos, the earth drained of life. It's every man for himself. Lost and confused, a lonely weakling, Tamara would soon die in a harsh city full of hate. But at what cost will the gang pay for their humble kindness? And how will they survive just another day in an abandoned wasteland full of hungry predators clawing at their flesh?
