BLURB from Goodreads
The world has ended, and hope is the most dangerous
thing left.
Battered and bruised after barely escaping San Francisco with their lives, Kat, Dylan, and Blue press north – desperate to reach the possibility of a new home.
But strange, monstrous ravens are tracking the remaining survivors, food is becoming scarce, gasoline is running short, and people are becoming suicidal, making survival almost impossible.
And the Pestas are growing bolder. Somehow, their numbers are growing.
The further north they go, the harder it becomes to ignore the signs that they’ve made a fatal mistake. Kat must face the impossible truth that there is no escape, there is no safe haven, and their worst nightmares don’t come close to their new reality.

Title: World Of Ash
Series: (Ash and Ruin #1)

Release Date: 2nd December 2014
BLURB from Goodreads
There are two inherent truths in the world: life as we know it is over, and monsters are real.
The Pestas came in the night, spreading their pox, a deadly plague that decimated the population. Kat, one of the unlucky few who survived, is determined to get to her last living relative and find shelter from the pox that continues to devastate the world. When it mutates and becomes airborne, Kat is desperate to avoid people because staying alone might be her only chance to stay alive.
That is, until she meets Dylan. Dylan, with his easy smile and dark, curly hair, has nowhere to go and no one to live for. He convinces Kat there can be safety in numbers, that they can watch out for each other. So the unlikely couple set off together through the barren wasteland to find a new life – if they can survive the roaming Pestas, bands of wild, gun-toting children, and piles of burning, pox-ridden bodies.

Sitting on the
bumper again, my jagged nails scratch at the plastic as I fight the urge to
tell Dylan to hurry. Blue looks up at me and whines. I shake my head at him and
pet him with the toe of my boot. His eyes are dark blue in the evening light.
Blue drops his head and looks at Dylan, his ears perked up into two triangles.
I follow his gaze. Dylan’s still standing, holding his instruments of
destruction, and staring at the raging fire.
Blue pushes to
his feet and barks one sharp, loud yelp. My hand drifts over to the rifle by my
leg as I let my eyes slide from Dylan’s back to search for the source of Blue’s
panic.
“Dylan.” I mean
to call to him, but my voice comes out in a strangled whisper.
I swallow as I
stand and pull the rifle with me. Across the street, the shadows between the
houses are taking shape. They’re no longer the snapping, twisting formless
shadows from the fire, but something more, something substantial. Dylan lifts
the can of fluid and squirts more onto the fire, making it spike and lick the
air.
“Dylan,” I try
again, my voice a little louder. The rifle is in my hands now. The stock is
pressed into my shoulder as I aim at the shadows peeling away from the deeper
black.
Still Dylan
doesn’t hear me, or is ignoring me.
Blue barks
repeatedly, backing up until he hits the car. I find my voice and scream his
name loud enough that it hurts my throat. Finally he looks at me, his face cast
in shadows with the light behind him. I can’t make out his features, but I can
make out the horde of Pestas behind him.
“Run!” I aim the
gun as I walk backward around the car.
Instead of listening
to me, he looks back to see what has terrified me so. They shuffle forward,
lines of them spilling out into the cul-de-sac. Dylan takes two steps backward,
nearly tripping over his feet and making me scream again. I rip the rear door
open for Blue to get in the car. Slamming the door behind Blue, I lift the
rifle and fire a shot, aiming well away from Dylan. The Pestas cringe in
unison, as though they are all puppets controlled by the same set of strings.
“Run, dammit!” I
scream.
