Dearly, Beloved (Gone With The Respiration #2)
Author: Lia Habel
Publisher: Del Rey
Publication Date: September 25, 2012
Can the living coexist with the living dead?
That’s
the question that has New Victorian society fiercely divided ever since
the mysterious plague known as “The Laz” hit the city of New London and
turned thousands into walking corpses. But while some of these zombies
are mindless monsters, hungry for human flesh, others can still think,
speak, reason, and control their ravenous new appetites.
Just ask
Nora Dearly, the young lady of means who was nearly kidnapped by a band
of sinister zombies but valiantly rescued by a dashing young man . . .
of the dead variety.
Nora and her savior, the young zombie
soldier Bram Griswold, fell hopelessly in love. But others feel only
fear and loathing for the reanimated dead. Now, as tensions grow between
pro- and anti-zombie factions, battle lines are being drawn in the
streets. And though Bram is no longer in the New Victorian army, he and
his ex-commando zombie comrades are determined to help keep the peace.
That means taking a dangerous stand between The Changed, a radical group
of sentient zombies fighting for survival, and The Murder, a masked
squad of urban guerrillas hellbent on destroying the living dead. But
zombies aren’t the only ones in danger: Their living allies are also in
The Murder’s crosshairs, and for one vengeful zealot, Nora Dearly is the
number one target.
As paranoia, prejudice, and terrorist attacks
threaten to plunge the city into full-scale war, Nora’s scientist
father and his team continue their desperate race to unlock the secrets
of “The Laz” and find a cure. But their efforts may be doomed when a
mysterious zombie appears bearing an entirely new strain of the
virus—and the nation of New Victoria braces for a new wave of the
apocalypse.
Lia Habel’s spellbinding, suspenseful sequel to
Dearly, Departed takes her imaginative mash-up of period romance,
futuristic thriller, and zombie drama to a whole new level of innovative
and irresistible storytelling.

But she was wrong.
Now Alex is in the fight of
her life against the adults, who would use her, the survivors, who don’t
trust her, and the Changed, who would eat her alive.

Author: Gena Showalter
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Publication Date: September 25, 2012
She won’t rest until she’s sent every walking corpse back to its grave. Forever.
Had
anyone told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between
one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. From blissful to
tragic, innocent to ruined? Please. But that’s all it took. One
heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and
loved was gone.
Her father was right. The monsters are real….
To
avenge her family, Ali must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she
must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys, Cole Holland. But Cole
has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn’t careful, those secrets might
just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies….
I wish I could go back and do a thousand things differently.
I'd tell my sister no.
I'd never beg my mother to talk to my dad.
I'd zip my lips and swallow those hateful words.
Or, barring all of that, I'd hug my sister, my mom and my dad one last time.
I'd tell them I love them.
I wish... Yeah, I wish.

You can’t choose your family... living or dead.
Trapped
between two very different worlds, newly made vampire Moth is

is intent on making her the star attraction in his powerful Boston
vampire clan. Moth will have to pull off the double-act of the century
to please both of them...
Adding to her problems is the
dangerously attractive Jason Murdoch, a trainee vampire hunter who loves
to play cat and mouse in his spare time (Jace = cat; Moth = mouse). But
when the teenagers of Boston’s wealthiest families start to disappear,
it forces Moth and Jace into an uneasy truce. Will they be able to solve
the mystery behind the disappearances—before someone winds up undead?
