| Last Ones Left Alive by Sarah Davis-GoffStarring: battle-ready Orpen, raised on a small island in post-apocalyptic Ireland, who must venture to the mainland after tragedy strikes.
What's she fighting? a menacing horde of zombies (aka skrakes); her own fears of life beyond the safety of home.
Why you might like it: With a charming, capable heroine at its center and atmospheric world-building, this action-packed novel will appeal to fans of Cormac McCarthy's The Road and zombie flick 28 Days Later. |

| The Possession by Michael RutgerBack at it: Licking his wounds after a terrifying encounter with an ancient evil (and perhaps an even more terrifying dearth of sales from the book based on his experiences), rogue archaeologist Nolan Moore is ready to investigate a new case for his YouTube series.
Read it for: an intensifying pace centered on witchcraft and possession, a darkly humorous tone, and flawed yet relatable characters.
Series alert: The Possession is the 2nd in the Anomaly Files series, following 2018's The Anomaly. |
