Summary
Laura, a fourth-grade art teacher, survives the first thirty days of the zombie apocalypse by barricading herself inside her apartment, counting canned food, and waiting for the world outside to fix itself. But when starvation finally drives her out, her first encounter isn’t with the dead, it’s with Kate, a hardened survivor who makes one thing clear: she isn’t here to babysit.
Thrown together by necessity, the two women forge an uneasy partnership as they flee a collapsing Chicago. On the road, they’ll find other survivors, uncover new dangers, and learn that the walking dead aren’t the only monsters left in the world.

Summary
Certainly she was nine feet tall and as Wild as winter, covered head to toe in blood, but she was not seen when she didn’t wish to be. She slipped through shadows, a glimmer of scarlet or a flash of sclera visible for only a moment to the unlucky on the streets, who were left with the primordial dread of having glimpsed a dark shape passing over the sun, or gliding through deep water, and knew implicitly whose path they had crossed.
Bachelor Dankovsky's newest attempt to defeat Death goes horribly wrong -- or horribly right. Maria comes into an inheritance beyond anyone's most terrible fantasies, and the Sand Pest is no longer the only thing hunting the Utopians.

Some wonder if it's the same girl from a local eccentric metal band, but some tell a darker tale. Stories of a white-haired and scarred fiend, seen close to where vicious cannibalistic murders took place. The more religious spin tales of a modern Lilith, a she-devil, sent to dine on mortal flesh.
She doesn't really care about what people think, she's just looking forward to her next meal.
Distracted by the city life she may be, but the past always catches up. Revenge is a lost passion soon to be regained.Series

Summary
The Lamb could cut down a heretic, could cut down a god. But they could not cut into the past, reach a hoof through the cracks and right tragedies that should have never been.
That was what stung above all, they had decided. Because, while The Lamb was devoted to solving other’s problems, saving other lives, they could not save the lives of their own.
What was one to do, when they lived forever? What was one to do, when others cannot?

Summary
There are trapdoors, that you can't come back from.
Ever since the Tuplar crashed, Swansea never even entertained the idea of surviving this. He knew he had been spending the better part of a decade and a half on what was essentially borrowed time; the writing had been on the wall for years. He just wishes it didn't have to be so over the top like this; he wishes none of the others had to be involved. Swansea knows he won't be making it out of this; that isn't very high on his list of priorities, but that doesn't mean any of this is over. Things are far from over. Before Swansea can meet his maker, there are two very important facets of all this that must be dealt with first. He needs to get Daisuke out of this mess, and Jimmy has got to go.

Summary
When a fire leaves one dead and one missing, an investigator is drawn into an increasingly tangled web of lies and deception. There are four women who know something about the accident, but each has their own reason for their silence.
While the case goes cold, reality begins to grow less and less defined. The difference between the waking world and the darkness of the subconscious blurs, and it will have consequences for everyone involved.
As the stories of the five women intertwine, the walls that separate their identities crumble.
And when the truth is revealed, all of them will be changed forever.
