“Book Descriptions: Viral Dawn: A Dystopian, Zombie Apocalypse Thriller by Jade Lazlow - What if your world collapsed in seconds, thrusting you into an apocalyptic nightmare where your every move might be your last? An explosion at the army depot unleashes a deadly genetically-engineered virus that turns people into flesh-eating zombies. Senior, Casey Williams shelters at her high school with friends and other survivors of the zombie outbreak. They're safe for now, but supplies are running short, and tempers are running shorter. Casey anticipates the looming humanitarian crisis and knows they must find other refuge or face chaos inside. She braves the savage post-apocalyptic world beyond the school's security fence in an attempt to save herself and her friends.
With sheer grit, she leads a small party to find help at the militarized safe zone. Once there, she arranges for her friends to be transported to safety only to learn she's placed them in even greater danger. As it turns out, the zombies aren't the only thing they should fear. Determined to seek justice, she fights the living and the undead in her quest to survive in this new dystopian reality. Jade Lazlow spawns a new dystopian series for young adults and adult readers. The book begins with teenager, Casey Williams, living her less than happy life with her mother and foster brother, Derek after the death of her father. With a largely absentee workaholic mother, Casey is often charged with caring for Derek. The story spends considerable time establishing her life and the lives of her friends.
