The Calms — Meredith Spies

It was bound to come to an end sooner or later. For years, The Calms has been a dream. A little oasis in the apocalypse, closed off from the outside world, from the encroaching military presence, from the so-called zombies... We fancied ourselves safe. But I knew better. I knew it was only a matter of time before it went to hell. Missing livestock, missing people, then the whispers in the dark, past the firelight and lanterns all haunted my little farmstead, edging closer while everyone around me lived in denial. Even with all of our precautions, The Calms was ready to fall.Then I found Sam. Doctor Sam Brodnax, to be specific. An accidental refugee from the nearby military lab, he's trapped in The Calms as a surge of strangely advanced zombies starts creeping through our defenses.Not only is Sam the first new face I've seen in The Calms since childhood and the embodiment of every fantasy I've ever had made real, he's also the bearer of awful news: the cure we've been promised for years isn't coming and the ghouls are starting to change into something more dangerous than we've ever imagined.And The Calms is right in the path of the newest horde.Between Sam and I, we have to find a way to push back the horde, to keep the people of The Calms safe and get him back to his lab before it falls to the horde as well. The Calms is a part of the Final Days MM romance multiauthor series. Each apocalyptic book can be read as a standalone, but there are more thrilling zombie tales to enjoy so why not grab them all?
