This is Not a Test

It's the end of the world. Six students have taken cover in Cortege High
but shelter is little comfort when the dead outside won't stop pounding
on the doors. One bite is all it takes to kill a person and bring them
back as a monstrous version of their former self. To Sloane Price, that
doesn't sound so bad. Six months ago, her world collapsed and
since then, she's failed to find a reason to keep going. Now seems like
the perfect time to give up. As Sloane eagerly waits for the barricades
to fall, she's forced to witness the apocalypse through the eyes of five
people who actually want to live. But as the days crawl by, the
motivations for survival change in startling ways and soon the group's
fate is determined less and less by what's happening outside and more
and more by the unpredictable and violent bids for life—and death—inside. When everything is gone, what do you hold on to?
