"Never tease anything
that wants to eat you. My name is April Tate and my blood is the new
gold. Vampires and hybrids have overrun my world, once vibrant with
life, but now a graveyard of death shrouded in shadows. I fight to
survive; I fight for my mother and brother. The journey is full of turns
that I am quite unprepared for. And I'm just hoping to make it to the
next Vegas sunrise..."
In a post-apocalyptic world, a viral epidemic has wiped out most of the earth’s population, leaving behind few humans but untold numbers of mutated vampires. April is a seventeen-year-old girl who lives in the remains of Las Vegas one year after the outbreak. She has become a ferocious vampire killer and after her family is abducted, she goes searching for them. What she finds is a new breed of vampire, unlike any she has seen before. Unsure of whom she can trust, she discovers that her view of the world is not as black and white as she once thought, and she's willing to bend the rules to rescue her family. But in trying to save them, she may only succeed in bringing her fragile world crashing down around her.

Review
****Indie Inked through NetGalley provided me with a copy of this book for my honest review****
"Never tease anything that wants to eat you. My name is April Tate and my blood

New author on my radar! This book was such an intense thrill ride.
In a time where post-apocalyptic novels are abundant this book still
brought a fresh spin that held my attention from the beginning. April's
journey is a violent and bloody one as she discovers the tattered
remains of her world aren't what she thought they were. I really
respected April. She's young, 17, and instead of allowing herself to
become a victim she adapts to survive the best she can, teaching herself
how to fight and arming herself. She doesn't get cocky and go out guns
blazing though, she remains smart. Even after her family is taken she
devises a plan. It was nice to see a young characters not be displayed
as some ditzy hormone filled body. There were twists and turns I didn't
see coming and the story was well written and fast paced. The world was
so intricately developed and realistic that you got sucked into an
alternate universe where this was the real world. I definitely recommend
this one and it was free on Smashwords at the time I posted this review.
