BOOK ONE 

She had her whole life planned.

What she didn't plan for was the zombie apocalypse. 

Eighteen-year-old Arryn Lycaster just graduated high school. With aspirations of becoming a veterinarian, she's ready to take the next step forward in life. Danger, however, lurks around the corner when a mutated form of the rabies virus swiftly spreads across the nation.  Everything the virus infects turns to mindless, flesh-hungry creatures known as Rabids. 

Finding herself thrown in the middle of the apocalypse, Arryn must band together with other survivors. But not everyone can be trusted when rumors of a traitor hang in the midst. 

She quickly finds that some people don't need to be bitten to have their humanity stripped from them.

All they need is a push.
