As our situation becomes even more perilous, I find myself struggling to come to terms with my terrifying new reality, and my growing love for Cade. Young AdultEdited by Leslie Mitchell at G2 Freelance Editing and re-released 11/22/13.The world didn’t end with a bang, it didn’t go out in a ball of fire and fury, nor did it end in ice. But in some strange way, ice was the end; or maybe it was the beginning of something more. When I find myself suddenly alone in a world that was alive only moments before, I flee into the streets of my town in search of my family. Panicked by the immobile people surrounding me, I'm almost captured by the monsters hunting me until Cade steps in to rescue me. Dark and distant, most people in school are wary of Cade, yet oddly fascinated by him. We'd been close as children, but it has been years since I've had any real contact with him. As our situation becomes even more perilous, I find myself struggling to come to terms with my past, my terrifying new reality, and my growing love for a boy that is powerful, mysterious, and perhaps even more frightening than the aliens hunting us. Aliens that want more than our lives, they also want our blood.Recommended reading order of the complete Ravening Series:Ravenous (Book 1)Taken Over (Book 2)Reclamation (Book 3) Young Adult.

Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys

Observation #3: I need a lock on my door. STAT.
Observation #4: Three words: six-pack abs.
Observation #5: Do not even get me started on the state of the bathroom. I'm thinking of calling in a hazmat team. Seriously.
Observation #6: These boys know how to make enemies. Big time.
Megan Meade will have to juggle a new school, a new family, a new crush -- on the boy next door, as in next bedroom door -- and a new life. Will she survive the McGowan boys?
