A NOTE FROM ALI
Are you ready for this?
The romance and sizzle...the betrayal...loss...pain...
The end?
I thought I was. I had begun comparing myself to a coin, with life on one side and death on the other. Iâd felt as though Iâd been tossed in the air, only to tumble down fast and hard. Which side I landed on would be totally up to fate. But Iâve learned not everything that happens is meant to be.
Think about it. The fact that I ate a bagel with cream cheese for breakfastânot fate but hunger.
The fact that I lost my mother, father and beloved little sister in a car crashânot fate but panic.
The fact that four of my friends were gunned down in one night and two others were killed soon afterâNOT FATE! Evil.
Fate and meant to be come down to one thing. The tool weâve been given to shape our destinies. Choice. Mine...yours...theirs. Good, bad. Ugly.
Hereâs mine: Months ago, I decided to join a crew of slayers and spend my nights fighting zombies.
Yes. Zombies.
These vile creatures live among us, invisible to the ungifted eye. They emerge at nightfall, hungry for human spirits, the essence of life. They feast, and they poison, and if ever youâre bitten, your spirit will rise, starved and ready to devour.
I considered zombies the worst enemy ever to walk the earth.
I was wrong.
Humans can be more dangerous than monsters.
Thereâs a company out there. Anima Industries. They control zombies, and theyâve decided slayers are a problem with only one solution: extermination.
Now, slayers have a choice. Go underground...or go to war. In other words, hide our coins or toss them ourselves.
Weâve lost so much already, and there are so few of us left. The smart thing to do is pack up and hide. Live to fight another day.
Screw smart.
Weâre tossing. One way or another, we will destroy Anima for goodâor they will destroy us. But this time, only one group is walking away.
Our choice is made.
Ready or not, here we come.
See you on the other side,
Ali Bell

UP IS DOWN AND
DOWN IS UP
âDude. How about that one?â My best friend, Kat Parker, pointed toward the far corner, to a table occupied by three boys about our age.
One guy was hot enough to melt a polar vortex. One wasnât handsome in the traditional sense, but with his unusual chartreuse eyes, it hardly mattered. The third was amazingly rugged, with a fresh scrape on his cheek and scars on his knuckles.
