The third wave is looming, mere weeks away, but in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse, problems never come just one at a time.

Season 2 of The Virus Within

*    *   *   *   *

Life isn't easy, and that's doubly true when you're a zombie surrounded by humans, a crazy redhead, and a far-too-curious scientist. Once you add in a long-lost sister and a Terror who doesn't know how to zombie, peace and quiet are the last things you'll find.

Reports of a Nightstalker attack come mere weeks before the third wave is due, and Trinity is one of the few who have the necessary skills to take on such a zombie. Leaving her sister in the safety of the Stronghold, Trinity joins the rest of the group as they embark on a road trip to locate the feral creature before it can kill anyone else. Trouble looms on the horizon like a thunderstorm, and where there's thunder, there's lightning.

You better pack your dish soap because the third wave isn't waiting for anyone.

Some begin dropping dead, coughing up blood in horrifying scenes that you would only see in the movies. The worst part of all of this comes when the dead don't stay down. Just before finals Imogene and her classmates witness a car crash. People began surrounding the car attacking with unrelenting fury and tearing into flesh with their teeth. Chaos erupts, and the world begins to crumble around her. Fleeing to the safety of her family home, Imogene finds an unexpected ally waiting for her: Sam, a colleague of her father's.

Outbreak: The First Surge by Renee_Reads_

The second strain of a deadly virus, Neuro Type 2, ravages the globe, outrunning every medical breakthrough. In the small, rural town of Rosedale, Virginia, life clings on like a flickering candle, but the virus's relentless presence is undeniable. Every day feels like a countdown. Andrea McNeil, a mother of six, races against time as a nurse on the frontlines, facing the chaos of the pandemic while searching desperately for her missing daughter. With her ex-husband's shadow looming and his hand in the virus's spread growing ever clearer, Andrea must protect what remains of her family. She holds tight to her five remaining children and her moral compass, hoping it will guide them through as the world falls apart. Megan Mullen, a childhood friend of the McNeil family and girlfriend to Ezrah McNeil, battles her own ticking clock as her mother's illness worsens. Each moment feels fragile, fleeting. Ezrah, trying to support her, struggles to keep their love alive, but fate tears them further apart-flinging Megan into despair and Ezrah into the flames. As the minutes tick by, and they grow spiritually, physically, and emotionally distant, their love faces a race against time. Can they hold on to each other in a world where time itself seems to be running out? Or will they fall victim to madness or the disease in the wake of preserving everything they hold dear?

Don't Talk To Anyone | BOOK 2 by honeywriitings

(Sequel to Don't Talk To Strangers) It's been a couple months since the zombies had vanished. No more zombies. No more killings. And no more bad people. So they thought... Life is good, until something seems- out of place. Maybe it's a change in the weather or thickness of the air. Or it could be the electronic buzzing noise keeping them awake at night. The gang is suspicious, but nothing peaks their interests until one of them comes home infected. It's only a matter of time until the infection spreads around the rest of their body. It's a race against the clock to help them survive. Because the friends can't part with their own. They're family. And losing another person amongst the world is too much to handle. But if adding in revengeful ex-friends, hot summers, babies AND more zombies to the mix is what it takes to finally make these kids give up, congratulations. You got your wish. Not everyone is as strong as they want to be. Will they make it or break it?

Everyone Un-Died + My Gardener Bit Me: The Oral History of the Zombie Apocalypse by AaronRubicon

Playlist for the Apocalypse by Lauryn_Low

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?

The Dead Walk Among Us by JennaMarissa13

It's been ten years since the fall of humanity. I was only ten years old when the zombies took over. The military told us to flee underground, explaining that it was safer. The zombies are smart, too smart. They can learn to hide themselves. Some of them disguise themselves to look like normal people. We tell them apart by checking their eyes. Zombies have enlarged pupils compared to humans.
