[New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: Most of the population is dead, some have turned into vicious, crazed creatures who want nothing more than to eat you, and a small percentage are left to try to survive. Nothing is the way it was. With not much more than a pistol and a vague idea of what she's doing, Claire Harrington ventures out into this new, unforgiving world with only one real goal: to keep her younger sister safe. The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is 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.

𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐘 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐄 by marelizxx

Deception. Betrayal. Mistrust. It seems the closer Rayne gets to the truth, the more she finds herself wanting to run away from it. It's complex and terrifying-more than she ever fathomed. New family members, good and bad, pop out at her like a branded omen. But thankfully, with Rueben and the others by her side, guiding her, she feels now, more than ever, that the truth will set them free. The battle to bring her brother home grows eerily close. Tensions begin to rise; break ups and forced splits take a toll on everyone as the heat of reality begins to catch up with growth of their situation. ☽ ☾ Mason struggles to continue his journey. Between romance and business, he feels as if his body is being pulled in every direction, leaving him blinded. Driven by emotion instead of logic, he begins to realize that the bigger picture doesn't mean he gets his happy ending. Dangerous meetings, callous events, and the prolonged deaths of those they care about hang over their heads like a dark cloud, two seconds from striking them with lightning. Everyone wants to win, but only one side will. ⤷ ᴍᴜʟᴛɪᴘʟᴇ ᴍᴄꜱ ᴛʜɪʀᴅ ɪɴꜱᴛᴀʟʟᴍᴇɴᴛ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇɴᴛɪʀᴇʟʏ ʏᴏᴜʀꜱ ꜱᴇʀɪᴇꜱ ⤷ ✩ ᴡᴏʀᴅꜱ © COPYRIGHT MARELIZXX
