Description: Jessa Shaw sleeps through the end of the world and wakes up hungry. The apocalypse is already in full swing. The cities are in ruins, mutant insects and killer plants roam the streets, and the few survivors left alive are stronger, stranger, and far more dangerous than the average zombie. For Jessa, that should be fine. She is no helpless human-she is an intelligent undead predator who proudly calls herself the Zombie Queen. Then she meets Adrian Vale. He is powerful, secretive, annoyingly hard to kill, and somehow capable of growing cherry tomatoes from his own vines-making him both an infuriating opponent and the most useful man in the apocalypse. Worse, the more Jessa stays near him inside his heavily guarded survivor compound, the more cracks appear in her memory. Adrian knows things he refuses to explain. Simon Mercer, the compound's cold vice-captain, is clearly hiding something. And Jessa's body begins changing in ways no zombie should. What starts as a battle of teeth, tempers, and survival turns into a desperate search for the truth. Because the world around them is falling apart faster than anyone admits, and Adrian may be at the center of it. In an apocalypse built on blood, mutation, and buried secrets, Jessa will have to decide whether to keep chasing her hunger-or finally uncover the truth behind the man who never stopped waiting for her.
