Summary:

Love survived death-now it has to survive the apocalypse…

On the second anniversary of her boyfriend's death, Cozy Coleman, a rising star in a world where necromancy is mainstream, boards DeathCon, a horror-themed convention cruise where she and her two best friends-the Scream Teens-are hired as headline necro-tainment.

When a brutal she-wolf attack kills Cozy, she awakens reanimated, caught between life and something far darker. Her resurrection reveals an extinction-level virus beneath the Pacific-one that could turn the Hawaiian Islands into ground zero for an undead apocalypse.

As the ship locks down, a covert military unit arrives to contain the outbreak, led by a hardened operative Cozy recognizes instantly: the boyfriend she's been mourning isn't dead, but deep undercover. Furious at the lie yet still madly in love, Cozy is forced to fight alongside him as the ship descends into chaos.

With ravenous creatures overrunning DeathCon and time running out, Cozy must confront what she's becoming-and decide whether love, trust, and her dangerous power are enough to stop the end of everything.
