A high-octane blend of supernatural revenge and swoony paranormal romance that hits like a shot of adrenaline.
What it feels like
Reading this book feels like stepping back into the golden era of YA paranormal romance, where the stakes are life-and-death and the romance is intensely brooding. It moves at a propulsive clip, balancing the visceral, adrenaline-fueled grit of zombie-slaying with the familiar, angsty beats of high school drama. The atmosphere is dark and tense, yet pierced by moments of sharp snark and undeniable chemistry. You are immediately anchored in the protagonist's raw, sudden grief, but the emotional trajectory quickly pivots into a fierce, empowering quest for vengeance and found family. The prose is snappy, dialogue-heavy, and highly readable, designed to keep the pages turning. It is a perfect fit for readers who love their supernatural action served with a heavy dose of bad-boy romance and a heroine who learns to fight back.

About the book
Had anyone told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. From blissful to tragic, innocent to ruined? Please. But that's all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone.
Her father was right. The monsters are real.
To avenge her family, Ali must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys, Cole Holland. But Cole has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn't careful, those secrets might just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies.
