Hi, I'm Addie. I'm just your average college student, but there's a little more to me than meets the eye. Yeah, I love books-mostly manga and anime-and I'm not ashamed to admit it. At 20 years old, my life may seem normal at first glance, but there's a lot more going on behind the scenes. I have a handful of disabilities that make it hard for me to do things other people take for granted. Epileptic episodes, anxiety, anorexia, and vision issues all weigh me down, making it tough to live on my own.
I still try to make the most of my life. I work a modest job, helping with bills and doing what I can to contribute to the family. My mom, Cassie, and my step-dad, James, along with my little sisters Bailee and Kinzlee, are my support system. But despite all the struggles, there's one thing that's never faltered: my passion for the things I love. And one person who's been by my side through it all is Austin-a guy who sees past all my challenges and loves me for who I am.
My story is messy, real, and a bit of a rollercoaster. Before you assume I'm just another person who's asking for sympathy, take a moment to hear my side. This is my life, and I'm learning how to live it on my own terms, no matter what the world-or even the people closest to me-think.
In the future, everyone who's bitten by a zombie turns into one... until Diane doesn't. Seven days later, she's facing consequences she never imagined.
* * * * *
As civilization collapses under a relentless wave of zombies, Diane and her friends take shelter in a military base. However, while she's rescuing another survivor, Diane gets bitten by one of the monsters. She hides it and runs away, knowing she only has days left to live.
But she soon discovers she isn't turning into a zombie - she's turning into something else.

Excerpt:
I looked up and stared. My reflection looked back at me in the mirror of the dark room. My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow.
Glowing eyes were not normal.
Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal.
What was I then? For that, I had no answer
