All The Pretty Bones
Some things are meant to stay buried. Lily Cruz never planned to rob a grave. She planned to survive. Between a scholarship that barely holds her place at an elite college, her little brother's rising medical bills, and the velvet-drenched club where she serves drinks to men who look through her, Lily is used to carrying more than she can hold. So when her best friend makes a reckless mistake in a cemetery and brings Lily into it, it's not curiosity that draws her back. It's desperation. The kind that makes you quiet your conscience. The kind that makes you look at the dead and wonder what they're worth. They only meant to go back for the cash. But the dead have their own way of settling debt. And now, something is watching. Waiting. And Lily, tangled in secrets and shame, is running out of time to decide who she is... and what she's willing to become to survive. With every breath, Lily feels the line between survival and sin begin to blur. And the worst part isn't what's coming for them. It's what they've already done. Because guilt can't be buried.

The year is 6062, and humanity has collapsed under the weight of its own arrogance.

With a small band of survivors, she clings to life on the run, haunted by the screams of those she couldn't save... especially her brother. But when a desperate choice forces them back into the infected zones, Cara will have to decide what's worse: the monsters outside, or the guilt that's been tearing her apart from within. In a world where hope is dying and nightmares walk in daylight, survival comes at a cost - and not everyone is willing to pay it. -------------------------------- REWRITTEN I've gone back and rewritten this story from the ground up. As well as changed the name. The original had a strong foundation, but I knew there was more I could bring to it-more depth, more heart, and a better reading experience. I truly hope you enjoy this new version. And if you're returning from the original, thank you for sticking with me-I hope this one resonates with you just as much, if not more.Complete
𝑨 𝑯𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑴𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒅𝒚. (𝒏𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒏)
Trying to survive the apocalypse isn't just about slaying the undead. It's a 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 lot more complicated than that. Hardly anybody ever considers the barbaric murderers with the Cheshire Cat smiles or the cunning killers lurking around for their next victim to slice open. Or what about the huge range of communities out there, trying their best to thrive in the new world? Surely, not all of them are bad... right? Well, Brooklyn Scotts would be inclined to disagree to that last point made. For the girl has been surviving on her own since it all started, joining and leaving small groups here and there. But when she just so happens to unintentionally seek help on her travels, her whole world is turned upside down and she finds herself breaking all the rules. <><><> Highest Rank(s): » #1 Negan » #1 TheWalkingDead » #1 Rickgrimes <><><> || Negan X OC || || Mature Content || || Please Enjoy || <><><> » started late 2017 » completed summer 2019Complete

Not The Last {Rough Draft}
~Thank you for the continued love for this series! I was 13 when I began this book, and am now taking the time to go back to completely rewrite it, and maybe just publish someday~ I'm 15 and my name is Astrix. Let's start with that. That seems like an easy thing to start with. Now, let me add in some other details. I live in a zombie apocalypse. Yeah, that's about as enjoyable as I can make it seem. Now let me add in something else. I'm wanted by the CIA for reasons that I don't even know, but I guess I will find out eventually. Maybe somewhere within my story I will figure it out. I'm well known as The Bad Ass for reasons that are kind of obvious once you meet me. Maybe that's why they're after me? Because I'm a Bad Ass? Nope, I doubt that. Well anyways, the answers are out there. Along with the answers to my past. The answer to life even. Maybe it really is 42 but I don't think it would hurt to start looking at one. So here we go. Chapter one. Book 1 *Being completely rewritten, final product will not be put on Wattpad, but hopefully go to print* **Highest Rating--#44 in Adventure**Complete
