<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Being human is a disadvantage in post-apocalyptic America. Now that the Feeding Plague has swept through human and zombie societies, it seems like everyone is an "ex" these days. Ex-human. Ex- zombie. Except for Amy, that is. She's the only human survivor from her town.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In a post-zombie world, life is what you make it . . . </b> <p/>Since a devastating, morphing plague swept through human and zombie populations, almost everyone who survived is an "ex" these days. Ex-human. Ex-zombie. Both creatures crave flesh, have the strength and speed of predators--and are seemingly immortal. Pierced skin and broken bones mend, but their all-consuming hunger never dies . . . <p/>Amy is the only purely human survivor from her town: a frail. For a girl used to going it alone, trusting anyone isn't easy, but Amy will have to. She has secrets from her past she can't afford to face by herself, and secrets in her future that will cost her just about everything--including her humanity . . .<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>Frail</i></b><i> <p/></i>"A happily horrifying ride...Turner's writing is exceptional."--<i>Kirkus Reviews <p/></i>"A gritty and personal post-zombie novel with a clear-voiced, strong female narrator and a fresh new perspective on a saturated genre."--Shelf Awareness <p/><b>Praise for <i>Dust </i></b> <p/>"THOUGHTFUL, POIGNANT AND FRIGHTENING."--Laurell K.
