I'm waiting for...
Affliction
(Withered series bk3)
by Amy Miles
-Zombies, Post-Apocalypse
Release date: December 6, 2016 Amazon | Goodreads
Though Avery Whitlock may have won the battle of the Grand Opry hotel, she knows the war is just beginning. Cable would stop at nothing to have her now that she was within his grasp—but to stay meant endangering innocent lives. No longer fully human and unwilling to accept her fate as a flesh-eating zombie, she must abandon the only place she could call home in order to save Nox and his people.
Driven to prevent anyone else from suffering from the same fate, she follows the trail of the doctor responsible for the heinous mutations as he races to reach the Atlanta Safe Zone. But with spilled blood on her hands and malice in her heart, her cravings to kill become amplified—and her grip on her humanity begins to slip.
Only the love of those closest to Avery can bring her back from the edge, but will they be able to reach her in time to save their own lives?
=====> I featured the first two books in this series and have not yet started reading it. However, the covers draw me in every time. I will most likely feature these in next year's batch of zombie reading ;-)

The Withered Book 2
by Amy Miles
-Horror Post Apocalyptic
Release Date: November 1, 2016 Amazon | Goodreads iBooks | BN | Smashwords | Kobo
Nearly two months after having endured a military kidnapping, brutal gang attacks and the death of the only man she had ever loved, Avery Whitlock believed she could survive anything. At least she did until she crossed the Tennessee border and straight into hostile territory. Hunted by a ravenous pack of mutated Withered, she stumbled right into the military’s crosshairs and imprisonment.
Concealed within the ruins of the once Grand Ole Opry Hotel, Avery discovered a group of survivors protected by high walls of debris and ample firepower, but she quickly began to suspect that the real threat wouldn’t come from the outside, but from within their own ranks. When a perimeter breach forces Avery to risk it all to save innocent lives, she will find herself flirting with death and the horrific truth of how the Withered came into being.
Evolution couldn’t be stopped...especially when it was genetically engineered.
About the author:
Author Amy Miles has always been a bit of a dreamer. Growing up as an only child, and a military brat to boot, she spent countless hoursescaping into the pages of a book, only to spend the following days creating a new idea of how to twist up the story to make it unique.
Since becoming a mother, Amy has slowly nourished her love of the written word while snatching writing time in the midst of soiled diapers, tumbling over legos and peering around mounds of laundry and dishes that never seem to go away. Once her only son started school, Amy was free to let her fingers dive into dark mythology, tales of betrayal and love, and explore human nature in its rawest form. Her love of seeing the world from a different angle bloomed.
Amy is the author of several novels, including her popular young adult immortal books, The Arotas Series, which are an Amazon and iBooks bestselling series. Unwilling to be defined by any one genre, she proceeded to flip over to a science fiction/fantasy based idea with her Rising Trilogy. She then dove into contemporary romance with her novel, Captivate and explored the depths of her own faith with In Your Embrace.
She is currently working on completing her Immortal Rose trilogy, a prequel to her Arotas novels. She has also embarked on two new journeys this year, one in the form of a co-written banshee trilogy, The Hallowed Realms, which is currently represented by GH Literary.
After an epidemic swept across America like a biblical plague, the government leapt into the fray with the release of a new vaccine—but what was meant to bring salvation to the survivors instead brought damnation. Mutations began within days of the drug’s release and the Withered Ones were born—those neither alive nor dead. They walked the streets, unblinking and unaware. And they were starting to evolve.
Growing up on the streets taught Avery Whitlock how to care for herself, but nothing could have prepared her for the outbreak of deadly gangs, a corrupt government bent on using her blood for experiments and the depths to which desperate people would go to survive. She soon discovered that it was not the Withered Ones that she needed to fear, but those still human. The ones who knew how to put a gun to her head when they wanted something from her.
Avery will be forced to decide how far she would will go to survive just one more day.
