Winter Miles packs up her Jeep and sets off on her road trip across the country to join her sister in DC. But mere hours into the drive, the whispers of a rabies outbreak turn into outright screams—Winter's screams.
A short story and prequel to The Plague Series and glimpse into the outbreak that destroyed the world as Winter knew it...
A good intro where we get to meet Winter Miles - the less-than-heroic heroine of the Plague series - as she realises that there's more to the "rabies" outbreak than the media's been letting on. Not that she'll let a little thing like the end if the world stop her from going to find her sister, or do whatever needs to be done to save herself for her precious Cleo. It's only short, but you get the feel for who Winter is, and most importantly, who she will become once the plague takes hold...
I liked this more than I thought I would. The excerpt of Winter Plague gets your heart racing right away. Interested in reading more.
In a nutshell - Winter and her dog Cloe are on their way to DC to visit her sister Summer. But a virus breaks out and her vacation turns into a race for survival.
