EATEN ALIVE

Nine years into the end of the world, survival isn't the hard part anymore-trust is.

Seventeen-year-old Coralie Sallow has lost everything: her home, her brother, and any hope of safety in a world crawling with the infected-Stalkers who once were human and now roam with dead eyes and relentless hunger. With her sharp-tongued younger sister Addi at her side, Cora is used to being alone. Cautious. Unseen.

But everything changes when they cross paths with Nick Madden, a cocky but capable scout from Parkway-a fortified neighborhood run by teens who've built a new kind of life behind their barricades. When Nick offers them shelter for the night, Cora senses something dangerous... and it's not the Stalkers this time. It's the way Nick looks at her like she matters. Like maybe she could belong.

Inside Parkway's walls, nothing is simple. Not the rules, not the relationships, and definitely not the Leader. As Addi finds unexpected friendship and Cora tries to heal-physically and emotionally-the sisters must decide whether Parkway is truly safe... or just another heartbreak waiting to happen.

Because in a world where everything is temporary, even trust can get you killed.
