''We have experienced so much. We have lost so much. But we are alive. We are alive because we help each other. We don't have to like each other, many of us have had fights in the past, but that doesn't matter anymore. If we don't work together, we will die.''

An unknown virus has spread around the world at a rapid pace, causing the dead to come back to life as walking corpses. Scientists noticed the danger when it was too late, the world collapsed suddenly.

The novel tells the story of the Kaczmarek family, who, losing their sense of security, abandon their morals and question their humanity many times in an effort to survive.

The world has changed...or ended. It depends on how you look at it. The undead roam the streets, hungry, never full. They search for human or animal flesh to fill the void of their bottomless guts. One bite and you're doomed; doomed to become one of them, unless your brain is destroyed. Now we know that, even if you die, you turn. What would you do to keep your family safe? A lonely girl, a broken redneck, and a group of people so different you'd have never thought they could get along. Hope cares for her group more than she has ever cared for anyone ever before, and she is willing to do anything to protect the ones she loves. When she finds out that she's expecting a baby, she only grows more determined to keep him or her safe. Along with this, she's dealing with the new experiences that come with being a wife to a certain redneck. Daryl wants nothing more then for a world where Hope will be safe, away from harm, and there's nothing threatening to take her away from him. With the extra knowledge of Hope's pregnancy combined with the new role of being a husband, he's determined to be a better man. For her, he feels like he has to. Once again, Hope and her group must find a way to survive, like they already have been for years. Once they get out of Terminus, all they have to do is find the next safe haven.

Trying to survive the apocalypse isn't just about slaying the undead. It's a 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 lot more complicated than that. Hardly anybody ever considers the barbaric murderers with the Cheshire Cat smiles or the cunning killers lurking around for their next victim to slice open.

Well, Brooklyn Scotts would be inclined to disagree to that last point made. For the girl has been surviving on her own since it all started, joining and leaving small groups here and there. But when she just so happens to unintentionally seek help on her travels, her whole world is turned upside down and she finds herself breaking all the rules. <><><> Highest Rank(s): » #1 Negan » #1 TheWalkingDead » #1 Rickgrimes <><><> || Negan X OC || || Mature Content || || Please Enjoy || <><><> » started late 2017 » completed summer 2019
