Drive Fast, Don't Die is a gritty, adrenaline-fueled YA novel about grief, street racing, dangerous secrets-and the slow-burning bond between two people brought together by loss.
Ashly's world shattered the day her brother Ford died. Now, the only way she can feel anything is with the engine roaring and the speedometer climbing. Racing through the night isn't just a thrill-it's a way to outrun the guilt, the grief, and the voice in her head that keeps whispering: it's your fault.
But nothing stays buried forever.
When Zane-her controlling ex and Ford's sworn enemy-shows back up, everything Ashly tried to escape comes crashing back. And the one person who seems to get it, who stands in her way just enough to keep her from falling apart, is Austin-Ford's best friend and the last person she should be getting close to.
Austin promised to protect her. He didn't expect to care this much.
As racing turns into revenge, and secrets start unraveling, Ashly finds herself caught between the pain of the past and the pull of something new-something with Austin that feels too good to be safe.
But the road they're on is full of danger. And if they're not careful, it might cost them more than just the race-it might cost them each other.
Fast cars. Broken hearts. One way out.

Dead Girls Don't Say No?
Dead Girls Don't Say No A Yuri Apocalypse Novel When the world ended, Raven Salvatore didn't cry. She stole a truck, maxed out her father's credit card, and built a fortress of stolen goods. Survival was never about hope - it was about hoarding, hustling, and hitting first. Then she met Alara. Beautiful. Dead. And unlike any zombie Raven had ever seen. Alara wasn't just wandering aimlessly like the others she was aware. Hungry, yes... but for her. Something about Raven's very existence stirred a sliver of life back into the girl's rotting heart. Armed with a mysterious system that gifts her a private Sanctuary dimension, Raven becomes a new breed of survivor. She doesn't just dodge the undead. She cultivates food in barren wastelands, stockpiles weapons inside her pocket world, and most dangerously nurtures her own evolving zombie companion. As Raven feeds Alara crystallized nuclei from fallen zombies, Alara begins to grow stronger... smarter... closer. No one warned Raven that love would be the deadliest infection of all. With humanity's last cities crumbling, the earth poisoned, and mutated horrors lurking in every shadow, Raven has one simple rule: "Don't trust the living. Trust the girl who would kill for you instead." In a world where survival is bought in blood and sanity rots away like the flesh of the dead, Raven and Alara carve out a life together - violent, tender, and defiantly alive. Dead Girls Don't Say No is a genre-bending, unapologetically queer tale of survival, devotion, and undead romance at the end of the world. For fans of brutal apocalypse sagas, dark love stories, and heroines who refuse to die quietly.
