After escaping a stalled elevator into a zombie apocalypse, Emily must learn how to trust people again or risk losing everything in this terrifying world. ***** For Emily, every day of the last two years have been a blur. She keeps her head down, takes her college courses online, and only goes out to work at her mandatory internship. But all that changes on the day the office elevator breaks down, leaving her trapped when the screams begin. And when the doors finally open, revealing a dystopian world ruined by bloody teeth and disease, Emily is launched into a terrifying run for her life, caught between the strangers she's not sure she can trust and the man-eating monsters that hunger for her flesh. Now she must learn not only how to survive in this new and dangerous world, but also how to overcome her own inner demons before they cost her something more precious than her life.

The sea isn't safe. Only the bravest and strongest become sailors. Luminescent mermaids roam the depths and the shallows, mouthing words no one can hear, never surfacing. Raised all his life in an island fishing village, bookish Emerson Kadwell has always been warned away from the shore. But an infant memory of a song and the lapping of waves continually draw him. When Emerson finds a mermaid stranded in an isolated part of the shoreline, the truth about his past and hers will change his world forever. A luminescent mermaid. A bookish inventor. A terrible truth. Shallows is a clean YA fantasy novel with elements of paranormal and romance. It is the first in a series. --- NOTE: NOW THAT THIS NOVEL IS AVAILABLE ON KINDLE, I CAN ONLY LEAVE A SAMPLE AMOUNT HERE ON WATTPAD. Thanks for understanding and I hope you enjoy!
