Daryl's Angel (10th Anniversary Edition)
"You know, I think everyone who's ever loved me is dead." "That makes two of us. Fuckin' cheers." When the dead rose, Hope Tremblay found herself trapped, woefully unprepared for the rapidly changing world before her, and worst of all, alone. Day by day, week by week, she somehow stayed alive, clinging to the idea that she could survive, but unsure of how to do so. When she meets a group of survivors, she sees a chance to be something more, to actually live in this new undead world. With no family and no friends, Hope finds herself just as alone in her new group. When she meets Daryl Dixon, she senses a kindred spirit beneath the rugged, asshole exterior he displays to the world. When two lonely people meet at the end of the world, an unlikely friendship blossoms into more.

𝖡𝗅𝗈𝗈𝖽 𝖺𝗇𝖽 𝖤𝗆𝖻𝖾𝗋 - 𝖳𝖶𝖣
Ethan Grimes, a sharp-shooting force with a devil's charm and a trigger finger that doesn't flinch, carries the weight of a name that demands strength in a world gone to hell. Lila, the Greene family's fierce healer, stitches wounds and souls with hands as steady as her heart is wild, her compassion a blade that cuts both ways. In the brutal sprawl of The Walking Dead, where the dead hunger and the living break, their connection sparks a fire that could warm them or burn everything down. Bound by desire and tested by blood, they navigate a landscape of gnashing teeth and fractured trust, where every choice is a gamble and love is as dangerous as the next step. Blood and Ember is a gut-punch dive into passion, violence, and the raw edges of humanity, where survival demands everything you've got-and more.
