For Review: Thanks to Netgalley and Marshall Cavendish
Sherry has lived with her family in a bunker for more than three years. Her grandfather's body has been in the freezer for the last six months, her parents are at each other's throats and two minutes ago, they ran out of food. Sherry and her father must leave the safety of the bunker. What they find is an empty Los Angeles, destroyed by bombs and haunted by Weepers, savage humans infected with a rabies virus. While searching for food, Sherry's father disappears and Sherry is saved by Joshua, a hunter. He takes her to Safe-haven, a vineyard where a handful of survivors are picking up the pieces of their other lives, before the virus changed everything. Sherry must find a way to help her family, stay alive, and decide whether Joshua is their savior or greatest danger as his desire for vengeance threatens them all. This debut novel is a page-turner that is not easy to forget.

Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta
Abandoned by her mother on
Jellicoe Road when she was eleven, Taylor Markham, now seventeen, is
finally being confronted with her past. But as the reluctant leader of
her boarding school dorm, there isn't a lot of time for introspection.
And while Hannah, the closest adult Taylor has to family, has
disappeared, Jonah Griggs is back in town, moody stares and all.
In this absorbing story by Melina
Marchetta, nothing is as it seems and every clue leads to more
questions as Taylor tries to work out the connection between her mother
dumping her, Hannah finding her then and her sudden departure now, a
mysterious stranger who once whispered something in her ear, a boy in
her dreams, five kids who lived on Jellicoe Road eighteen years ago, and
the maddening and magnetic Jonah Griggs, who knows her better than she
thinks he does. If Taylor can put together the pieces of her past, she
might just be able to change her future.
