Harrowed by the death of Johnathon Adams, and the dawn of an unpredictable virus, Scarlet Valentine's family looks to bring his daughter back to her mother in Archer's Creek. And they do so-through a piercing snowstorm.
Crashing in a dense thicket, someplace eerie and particularly unusual, the family must find ways to survive the harsh climate, which seems to be building and growing more dangerous as the days go on.
But one thing Scarlet doesn't account for is the madness that the virus brings, and the people it might infect. Some things are a lot scarier than a mere snowstorm . . .
Dark-hued fiction. A story about survival and perseverance, love and determination. A tale that deals with the impact of our past . . .

Playlist for the Apocalypse
In a world, where showing emotion is a dangerous weakness, love becomes the only beacon of hope. No one noticed exactly when people began to fall victim to the broken life of monotony, but by the time humanity realized that witnessing strong emotion triggered violence in the infected, it was too late. Evelyn Li is not a fan of risk. Confined to the safety of an underground bunker for the past two years, when Evie stumbles upon a radio broadcast hosted by a mysterious boy with a sharp tongue and an impressive record collection, she's inspired to embark on a mission fuelled by the belief that her family might still be out there (and definitely not because she's desperate to finally meet the boy whose voice has been her sole companion since the darkness descended). Jonathan Johnson is not an optimist and definitely not a romantic. He wasn't at all surprised when the world ended or even when the Soulless took over the streets. With the weight of rising tensions in the colonies, an absentee father, and heart-breaking tragedy resting on his shoulders, Jonathan would much rather escape into his record collection and secret radio broadcast than deal with the general bleakness of life in the apocalypse. As he is reluctantly roped into Evie's search for links to her past, Jonathan begins to wonder if he can ever truly escape his. Together, the unlikely pair must navigate the treacherous landscapes of both the unforgiving world around them and the complicated emotions within. Will their connection withstand the trials of a world consumed by darkness, or will it become just another casualty of the apocalypse?Complete
