Charon Docks at Daylight by Zoe Reed

Charon Docks at Daylight by Zoe Reed

It’s six years after an infection turned a majority of the population into ferocious, zombie-like creatures that hunt during the day, forcing the living into a nocturnal state of existence. Survival is a continuous struggle when it’s hide or fight, and the creatures aren’t the only threat in a wasted America. Sometimes fighting is the only answer.

Jake Livingston is one of the only Black kids at St. Clair Prep, one of the others being his infinitely more popular older brother.

Blindsided by Eden Finley

Blindsided by Eden Finley

Miller: When Talon left to play pro ball six years ago, the hole in my chest confused me. I focused my heartache into making my own NFL dreams come true, and by the time I was drafted, the longing I had for my best friend was buried deep. Now he wants everything to be like it was in college, but we can’t have threesomes and be reckless like we once were. The media storm would be enough to break both our careers. That’s not my biggest concern though. The torch I had for him burns brighter after so long apart, and there’s nothing I can do about it. Marcus Talon is straight. I need to stay… Read more.
