With the cover reveal tomorrow (or you can get a sneak peek at it later today by signing up to my newsletter HERE), I thought I'd share a little excerpt from Zombie Girl: Dead Awakened with you today.
Connor crawled out
of bed. He stank. He hadn't showered or changed in days. The only thing that
got him up was the growling in his stomach, and the inability to sleep 24/7.
The food replicator wouldn't give him alcohol or any kind of medication.
Somehow the whole city conspired to keep him alive.
He shuffled into
the kitchen and ordered a triple shot espresso. If he was going to be awake, he
might as well do it properly. Cup in hand, he wandered out onto the rooftop and
leaned against the balcony.
Then the call sign
from the door downstairs buzzed and his heart jumped up his throat. What the
hell? Connor held his breath, listening.
Only the wind
through the city answered him.
He must have
imagined it.
He really was
going mad.
Then it buzzed
again, unmistakable. He dropped his coffee and staggered toward the elevator,
his legs stiff. Someone wanted to come in. Someone else must be alive. He
wasn't alone!
The elevator didn't
move fast enough. He willed it down with everything he had, tapping his fingers
on the wall. What if the zombies got to them first? What if they gave up and
left?
Connor barely gave
the doors a chance to open before he forced himself through and rushed to the
door. At the last instant, he hesitated and peered through the window first.
There was a zombie outside the window, staring
in.
