28 Days Later for werewolf lovers in this pacey, pulse-pounding YA horror debut!

High school senior Heidi Mills seems to have it all. A popular (albeit conceited) boyfriend, loving (wealthy) parents, and an acceptance letter to Harvard (well, almost). With her parents away for a long weekend, she's about to host the party to end all parties. She just has to ride out the full moon first, which should be simple with her home's state-of-the-art lockdown system.

But when two intruders show up to loot what they think will be an empty house, Heidi's pampered life is shatteredβ€”because they're not the only ones who get in.

One bite is all it takes for Heidi to be thrown into a terrifying new reality: the brutal world of the lupino virus that the privileged never see. Accompanied by the alluring boy who broke into her home, she embarks on a desperate race against the clock to find a cure before the next full moon. But in a post-pandemic society where survival is everything, the most dangerous monsters don't always have claws...
