Growing up as the second youngest in a Lower middle class family with a strict schedule was weird. Especially if everyone around them always mysteriously feared the family.
Kat- Naming herself after her favorite fictional character: Katherine Thornfield, from her beloved sci-fi novel, knew something was off.
Her household was always quiet, yet chaotic and messy, but at the same time, so clean and put together.
Her and her siblings' lives were already preplanned for them.
They were all enrolled in martial arts and business studies at a private school.
Their parents always saying "You'll need this knowledge in the near future." And "Once you are of age, you'll be joining the family business, no exceptions!"
But Kat didn't want to. Neither did the others, but they didn't have a choice, so they gave in quite easily, while she stood her ground.
She could also never figure out how they always had just enough money, whilst her father was a ceo of a very well-known company and her mother running a business of her own.
they should be upper class.
Or why they were always training. What were they training for? And what are her father and oldest siblings carrying around guns for?
But as soon as Kat started finding out her family's dark secrets, she was ready to leave them behind. Yet before she could, a new darkness appeared and pulled her in a much different direction than she planned to - from one fighter family to another.

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.
