As a teenager, Elysia doesn't think much of the world ending. Yet, in only a few short days, it is her reality. Without a home, family or friend, she has to survive on her own where the world is out to kill her. Seepers look for every opportunity to kill while close-knit groups of murderous survivors, called trusts, seem to slaughter anything they would deem rivaling to their survival. Unfortunately in this new world, that means anything that can move on its own. Fortunately, she finds a place she can call home and makes an unlikely friend. Everything, for the first time in a while, seems to be making sense. That is, until a trust of depraved young men makes a home where she calls home. Things get unpleasant between her and the trust after a brutal murder. Elysia must rely on her wits and what little she has left to survive.

Vincula Occulta
In a district of Chicago, eight teens are caught between the end of the world and the chaos inside their hearts. What begins in a bar-just noise, glances, friendship-erupts into full-blown apocalypse as the undead rise and the city falls. But the zombies aren't the only threat. Between them lie buried feelings, broken trust, and love that was never supposed to happen. As the world collapses, secrets unravel, bonds deepen, and every choice could be the last. Because sometimes, the most dangerous thing isn't what's out there. It's who you can't stop thinking about.Complete
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

whom we left behind
A zombie invasion sweeps across a country, spreading slowly from city to city. While the people seek protection and answers from their president, he makes the least precise decision: to downplay its importance in the early stages. The fall of the last city to the new virus goes hand in hand with the fall of all hope... But hope will come from somewhere else. Rosie, a girl from the lower suburbs with a sad family history, crosses paths with Elliot, a man who grew up in the countryside. On their journey, they will meet other survivors, face new challenges together, and uncover something they were not ready to admit. Rosie was born and raised in the heart of the city, but she learned how unfair life can be at an early age, after her mother was widowed and later met a man who, over the years, revealed himself to be abusive and selfish. When the virus reached the country, Rosie was planning to study medicine at the state's most prestigious university. But when her stepfather found out, he ruined the opportunity, wanting her to stay at home where he could keep her under his control. The news began filling with reports of the virus, and everything seemed to trail off into ellipses. The president offered no solid answers about the situation, fueling people's anxiety. Not knowing what else to do, many fled the country, others emptied stores and locked themselves inside their homes, while not a small number stirred up riots and fights in the streets. By the time the president finally decided to take action, everyone knew it was already too late.

"You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: There are some things that you can't outrun. That becomes all the more obvious when the world is ending, when there's nothing left but the feral creatures that were once people, consumed now by a virus that's made them cannibalistic and ravenous.

So, with no other options and her sister in tow, Claire ventures out into the dangers of this new, unforgiving world in search of safety, security, and answers to some long burning questions. The first two things -along with some new, unexpected questions- she finds in an unlikely place: a stranger who she's become indebted to. She has a feeling he can help her answer all her questions, if she can allow herself to fully trust him. Trust, she thinks, is a fragile thing. Humanity, a construct. Love, a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.
