Bixby was 12 years old when the world ended. A mysterious mist had blanketed the earth, turning most of the world's population into blood-sucking monsters. The remaining survivors plummeted to the bottom of the food chain. Now, eight brutal years later, these survivors face another challenge-a new threat is turning the tide of war between humans and the infected. This threat may very well spell doom for the last vestige of humanity. In a race against time, Bixby and her crew battle to stop the decimation of the human race at the hands of these new mutations. They are the last strain of resistance.

Carol, my apologies. It accidentally included epub as option, but the author only has mobi and PDF as option. Will one of those work?

Hi Brittany. I did send it, but maybe something went wrong. Sorry, hun. I will send it again as soon as I get home from work.

Thank you

Read and reviewed :) Will also post the review to Amazon shortly.

I just realized I messaged the author but never posted my review here, so here it is:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-re...

I need a bit more time: my mom is in ICU for a brain bleed that happened yesterday. I know I've had time but I usually read the book the two days before it's due because of all the other books I'm reading.
Is it ok if it's a couple days late?
Luckily my mom's going to be ok, but she has been having major headaches, and I advise anyone who experiences their worst headache in their life to go to the doctor.* Because she's lucky: it could've been a stroke if she went any longer (she waited 4 days).

*If you get migraines, then this does not apply.

I'm sorry. I apologize to the author for my late review. And to Sarah.

Oh my goodness, Stephanie. So glad your mom is going to be fine! No worries, my dear. Take all the time you need :-)

Thank you Michelle. I'm glad she's home today...they just have to figure out what caused it, so follow up tests are scheduled: but it was scary.
Thank you. I'm reading your book right now...sucked in!!

I also put it on my blogs http://teacherofya.wordpress.com, http://teacherofya.tumblr.com, and http://teacherofya.blogspot.com (though my blogspot blog is frustrating me because it doesn't work right on my tablet and has no app).

Can't wait for book two!!

Thank you for your honest review, Stephanie. Yes, this is definitely not YA, lol. My 17+ rating is accurate. Sorry for the shock value, hope you weren't too offended. Thanks again for reviewing it :)

Oh no! I wasn't offended! My blog is focused on books you can use in the classroom!
I personally liked it. I just had to warn it wasn't "high school" reading.
Thank you and I'd like to read the next book whenever it is out!!

Awesome! Thank you. Second part should be released in August. I do have a YA Trilogy, New Bloods, which is much more suitable for a classroom if you're interested in checking it out :)

Thank you, Brittany. Really appreciate the review :-D

No problem, I loved the action and the character development of Bixby!
