From the same universe as her When the World Fell series comes Elle Richards' latest book, set in Melbourne in the weeks before humans turn and zombies rise.

Sadie's spent two years perfecting the art of being invisible, and her neighbour, Theo, has spent just as long noticing her, anyway.

As months of lockdown deteriorate into riots, and rumours of the dead reanimating turn out to be terrifyingly real, residents grow to become family, and the walls of their once safe apartment building close in around them.

While chaos reigns and survival means doing things none of them could have imagined, Sadie learns to trust the man who makes her laugh, cry, and protects her from any threat, even one that lurks inside their building.

A first-person, dual POV, slow-burn, apocalyptic romance, for lovers of found family, friends to lovers, and zombies.
