28 Days Later for werewolf lovers in this pacey, pulse-pounding YA horror debut!
High school senior Heidi Mills seems to have it all. A popular (albeit conceited) boyfriend, loving (wealthy) parents, and an acceptance letter to Harvard (well, almost). With her parents away for a long weekend, she's about to host the party to end all parties.
She just has to ride out the full moon first, which should be simple with her home's state-of-the-art lockdown system. But when two intruders show up to loot what they think will be an empty house, Heidi's pampered life is shattered - because they're not the only ones who get in. One bite is all it takes for Heidi to be thrown into a terrifying new reality: the brutal world of the lupino virus that the privileged never see.
Accompanied by the alluring boy who broke into her home, she embarks on a desperate race against the clock to find a cure before the next full moon. But in a post-pandemic society where survival is everything, the most dangerous monsters don't always have claws...
Suitable for Teens & Young Adults.
In this taut, deadly tale of survival and desperation, #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden explores how far one girl will go to save herself.
Casey's cabin in the wilderness is not built for a hurricane. Her roof shakes, the lights flicker, and the tree outside her front door sways ominously in the wind. But she's a lot more worried about the girl she discovers lurking outside her kitchen window. She’s young. She’s alone. And she’s covered in blood.
The girl won't explain where she came from or loosen her grip on the knife in her right hand. And when Casey makes a disturbing discovery in the middle of the night, things take a turn for the worse.
The girl has a dark secret. One she’ll kill to keep. And if Casey gets too close to the truth, she may not live to see the morning.
