Plagued

There are no zombies in this apocalypse, but there are monsters here. In sixteen-year-old Skylar Christensen's America, negative is good. Positive is bad. Over half the world's population has been wiped out in the Blood Plagues. Only Negatives, people with negative blood types, are immune. The viral mutation that turns its victim's blood to toxic poison leaves Negatives – young and old – with enhanced senses, improved strength and often, something far more sinister.

Skylar, like every Negative her age, undergoes military training after school. Patrolling for Hemogoblin blood gangs and Victims Army guerrillas. Life isn't so bad. Unlike Positives, Sky has a future. Hugo St. James changes that. Changes everything. Clever, handsome, Hugo. A positive blood type who probably won't survive the coming winter. A senior at her high school and suddenly very interested in her – for all the wrong reasons.

With Hugo comes so many firsts: first crush, first kiss, first murder, first charge of high treason. Hugo forces Skylar into the traitorous world of illegal blood dealers, international conspiracies, and government-bred genetic mutations. Too late, she learns their families are bound by a history of blood and death. Plots and counterplots trap Sky in a trecherous web of murder and betrayal. Leaving honor behind, Sky must join the enemy if she wants to save herself and those she loves.
