Last Day on Earth

Kyle knows the rules of the apocalypse: Don't get attached. He survived this long by following one simple mantra: helping people gets you killed. He learned that lesson the hard way.

But when a ridiculously optimistic girl crashes into his plans for a solo trek to his dad's secluded cabin, she threatens to break every rule he's ever made. She won't leave him alone, and Kyle is sure her naive hope will be the death of them both.

Can he outrun the undead without letting her bleed his heart dry first?
