The world as she knew it is over...

At eighteen, Tabitha was looking forward to a summer filled with boys and romance. That all changes when the first zombie slams into the glass. Tabitha flees from the small-town grocery store where she works as a checkout girl with only one thought in mind. Survival.

At the end of the night, a new group of survivors emerge from the carnage of the zombie apocalypse, including the college guy she used to have a crush on. They are both grown now, a fact that hasn't escaped Jayden's notice, despite the horror that surrounds them.

The town of Pleasant no longer belongs to the living. And when it seems like all hope is lost, he comes... With his steely-gray eyes and mysterious ways, Kellan is unlike any man she's ever seen before. He saves them at the last moment, but his appearance brings even more unanswered questions.

There's only one thing that Tabitha can be sure of. Pleasant will never be the same again... and neither will she.
