No one is exempt from this rule, aside from those on active duty, and even they are reconnected as soon as their tour concludes.

It’s during his service that soldier Nathan Ackerman first finds himself awoken, and the state proves itself to be nothing short of euphoric.

Mitch is everything women want in a man. He’s charismatic, successful, and undeniably gorgeous. Except he’s not a man–he’s a monster. Being a jerk helps keep people out of the danger zone that surrounds him. But, after the most incredible night of his life, he realizes that might not be possible.
To rid herself of the monsters that haunted her broken childhood, Eden doesn’t lie, doesn’t curse, and definitely never wakes up naked in strangers’ beds…until the day she does. Then the flashbacks start–places she’s never been, people she’s never met, blood she’s never spilled. And the only person with any answers is a man she never wants to see again.
What they don’t know is that someone is manipulating them, determined to find out exactly what they’re capable of. And when the truth leaves them nothing to hold onto, they will be forced into a partnership neither expected. Or wanted.

More than 200 stellar reviews! #1 Amazon Bestseller!

Two suburban couples must find within themselves the strength and ingenuity to endure a world suddenly without electricity, a world that grows more chaotic and dangerous with each passing day. How far are they willing to go to survive not only the predators and scavengers but also empty pantries, despair… and each other?

“This is far and away the most compelling read I’ve experienced in a long time. No lie. This is seriously good. It’s fresh, entertaining, and thought provoking.”

The After Days is a gripping contemporary dystopian story that is both terrifyingly real and astonishingly tender. The After Days explores the ethical quandaries and logistical problems of ordinary suburbanites – people whose most recent problems were dodgy Wi-Fi and cranky bosses – in their struggle to survive in extraordinary circumstances.
