Turning Grace (The Turning Series)
|
Young Adult, Horror, Science Fiction
Grace is an average teenage girl with an average teenage life—quirky best friend, good grades, a crush on the popular jock at school—who has recently noticed some not-so-average changes. She wakes up in the morning with bags under her eyes, lifeless hair, and a hunger like she’s never had before. Her mother—former doctor and current personal chef to Gracie—insists that these changes are hormonal. But Grace is growing skeptical of her mom’s knowledge on the matter, especially after Grace willingly dines on Fluffy, the very delicious four-legged neighborhood feline. When her mom introduces Grace to Dr. Walker, he promises to help her curb her sudden craving for living things…in another country. Grace can’t leave her life behind, not when her long-time crush, Tristen, is finally showing some interest. But when a couple of serious crimes are committed—assault and murder—Grace must decide whether or not to run away. It may be the only way to protect the people she cares about…from herself.

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.
