As the world spirals into turmoil, 18-year-old Irias finds herself facing a nightmare upon returning home from a long day of hunting in the dense, shadowy woods. The familiar sight of her quaint cottage is shattered by an overwhelming sense of dread. She steps inside to discover that her mother and siblings have pashed, leaving behind only chilling bite marks that hint at a monstrous fate.
Her heart races as she turns to find her father-once a loving figure, now transformed into a grotesque, mindless creature driven only by primal rage. The man whom she looked up to has morphed into a terrifying beast, his eyes vacant and wild, embodying the very horrors that have befallen their world.
In that harrowing moment, Irias realizes the full weight of her loss; her family is gone, and she stands alone in the ruins of her childhood home. With no choice but to leave behind the only safety she has ever known, she steels herself for the uncertain journey ahead, determined to survive in a world turned upside down.

Cross My Hart and Hope to Die

Atalia was a part time bartender taking night classes when the world suddenly became sick, and the dead came back to life craving the blood and flesh of what they once were. Once again, she's determined to survive. Especially since the sickness seemed to wipe out more of the female population than the male, she's got to be wary of both the living and the dead. Hart's got a bad attitude and a sailor's mouth, but everyone she meets along the way seem to be determined to follow the path she carves in this new world.

the last of us | j.m.
Diane Salvino had never been dealt a winning hand. Life seemed hell-bent on testing her limits-growing up rough in the outskirts of Waco, enduring a childhood best left unspoken, throwing herself into the military, and carving out a place in Black Ops before trading combat boots for scrubs. Survival had always been her specialty. But for the first time, she thought she'd found something worth living for. Joel Miller and his daughter, Sarah. A family. A future. Until it all went up in flames. Two decades later, the world had rotted, and so had the last remnants of her heart. The outbreak stole Sarah on the first night, shattered her marriage the next, and left Diane to forge a new legend in the ashes of a world that once was. To FEDRA, she was the Boogeyman. To the Fireflies, a War Dog. To Joel, a ghost. And to one defiant, sharp-tongued girl named Ellie, she was something else entirely. A reluctant protector, maybe even a second chance. Now, fate had thrown her back into Joel's path, their history tangled in grief and blood, both bound by the impossible task of shepherding the one girl who might just save the world, and a sixteen year old boy with a deadeye shot, the journey ahead is certain. But in a place where survival demands sacrifice, Diane knows better than anyone, hope is the most dangerous weapon of all. #1 in Joel #1 in Miller #1 in The Last of Us #1 in Pedro Pascal #1 in season one #2 in Post-Apocalyptic #3 in Ellie #5 in survival #6 in outbreak #9 in The Last of UsComplete
Living on Borrowed Time
Book one finished! - "Zombies? Is 'zombies' the appropriate term? Zombies don't exist, they DIDN'T exist, but now these monsters are real...too real." - "I lunge out from the darkness and into the light of day, stabbing my knife through the eyeball of the nearest biter. Jane draws back her bow, aiming at a biter that's further down, closer towards my SUV. After a moment she let's her arrow go. Zipping through the cool air, flying past five other biters, the arrow nails one right in the forehead, knocking it backwards a couple feet."Complete
