{Fourth and final book in the Apocalypse Series}
With two groups joined as one and two members short, the friends head to Canada in hopes of finding a way to live normally again in a safer environment. Along the way it becomes apparent that maybe Mark's blood isn't the cure they've been thinking it is.
...
"This guy thinks we're infected!" Nate grits his teeth, slamming his fist against the glass encasing him but it does nothing, "He's going to kill us!"
"Nate, look at me," Mark urges, "We can get through this, I promise you. I got us in this mess, and I'm going to get us out."
Nate laughs but there's tears falling down his face as he faces Mark, "I seriously hope so. 'Cause I'm not ready to die yet, Mark. I'm not ready to die.."
...
"I can't believe we just handed Mark over like that." Cry sighs.
"He's going to make a cure," Ken shrugs, "We're doing the right thing aren't we?"
"Are we?" Cry frowns, "Because I don't think we are. The only way I see this ending is with our friend's death. I know I don't want that. Do you?"

THE RISKS
"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. It might just be easier to end it all, but Claire still has one last thing to fight for. Her younger sister. And she intends to keep her safe, no matter the cost. 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.
