No Dawn without Darkness: No Safety In Numbers: Book 3 [Paperback]

Perfect for fans ofLife As We Knew Itand Michael Grant'sGone--the conclusion to the thrilling No Safety in Numbers trilogy

First--a bomb released a deadly flu virus and the entire mall was quarantined.

Next--the medical teams evacuated and the windows were boarded up just before the virus mutated.

Now--the power is out and the mall is thrown into darkness. Shay, Marco, Lexi, Ryan, and Ginger aren't the same people they were two weeks ago. Just like the virus, they've had to change in order to survive. And not all for the better. When no one can see your face, you can be anyone you want to be, and, when the doors finally open, they may not like what they've become.

Self-anointed king Marco remains a fantastic, complex character, and the extended denouement is rather poignant. —Booklist
