"Unless you've been under a rock this past year, you know that Detroit has been taken over by the undead. And, judging on the news, you probably think "Oh, those poor survivors trapped by the zombies! They must be having a horrible time!" Well, as a survivor, I can personally tell you that those news stories are complete bull. Surviving the zombie apocalypse can be very fun, and isn't as bad as one may think. I dare say that I'm having the time of my live right now. So, I plan on sharing my story. It has ups and downs, its (mostly) comedic and (very few) serious moments. Love it or hate it, this is my story. Oh, and the story of a few others."
This is the description of a book Trent Brooks, a survivor of the Detroit outbreak, is writing. He intends to make it one of comedy, as that is the life he and his crew members try to live. However, with tragedy on the horizon, writing this story and keeping his mentality may prove difficult.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
