The Quiet Between Us

Three days after the world ends, Reagan realizes the dead aren't the only thing she should fear.

One phone call shatters her future.

One car wreck changes the world.

When Reagan wakes on a blood-soaked highway, the government is gone, the dead are walking, and the life she'd spent twenty-two years planning no longer exists. Armed with little more than the survival skills her parents unknowingly taught her, she fights her way through the Arkansas wilderness believing she'll die alone.

Until she meets them.

Reed-a quiet blue-collar man who trusts his instincts more than people-and Nilah, the sharp-tongued woman who's somehow kept him human, have survived by following one rule:

Don't trust strangers.

Reagan is a stranger.

As the three are forced to rely on one another, every mile reveals a world slipping further into chaos. Food is running out. The infected are changing. Desperate survivors are becoming more dangerous than the monsters outside. And somewhere beyond the forests of Arkansas lies the only place Reagan still dares to call home... if it's even standing.

Because surviving the apocalypse isn't about outrunning the dead.

It's about deciding who you're willing to risk your life for before the world teaches you not to.
