Hope Hidden by Jackie Oliver

Suffering from PTSD after being shot while witnessing her mother’s murder as a child, Hope has spent her life hiding from memories and shadows as an inpatient in a clinic. When her doctor plans a day of exposure therapy with a young man, Elijah, it was only supposed to be pizza and milk shakes in the rec room. A test to see if she was ready to attend her brother’s tenth birthday. None of them expect the day to unravel into a zombie outbreak.
Even more terrifying than her thoughts and the dead chasing her with equal vigor is the way Elijah makes her feel. Something. Something Good. Something she wants. Will Elijah’s kindness be enough to coax Hope from the clinic in time for them to escape the city? Can Hope hold it together as she races to get to her little brother?
