It's official. Grace is half dead. After deciding to accept Dr. Walker's treatment at Everlasting Paradise-the island compound dedicated to treating her condition-Grace is starting to learn how to live like a zombie. She vows to stay on a human-free diet, and Dr. Walker feeds her need just right. She has even made friends with the island's inhabitants-other patients who call themselves Zombrids. When Tristen shows up on the island for a visit, Grace is over the moon. Life seems to finally get better...until Grace discovers that some of the zombie hybrids are sick and Dr. Walker is being vague and shady on the details. Then Tristen suddenly disappears and an unwanted guest reappears in Grace's life. She can't help the gnawing ache in the pit of her stomach-and it isn't hunger. Maybe it is, a little. It's not until she finds a freezer full of horrifying secrets that she realizes Dr. Walker may have some sinister plans for her...and the world. Now, Grace and her fellow Zombrids must figure out how to save the living.
