Blitz – Past This Point by Nicole Mabry
On October 2, 2019 by Jaye
Karis Hylen has been through the New York City dating wringer. After years of failed relationships, she abandons her social life and whittles her days down to work and spending time with her dog, Zeke. Her self-imposed exile ends up saving her life when an untreatable virus sweeps the east coast, killing millions.
Alone in her apartment building, Karis survives with only Zeke, phone calls to her mom, and conversations with two young girls living across the courtyard. With the city in a state of martial law, violence and the smell of rotting corpses surround her every day. But her biggest enemy is her own mind. As cabin fever sets in, vivid hallucinations make her question her sanity.
In addition to her dwindling food and water stash, Karis must now struggle to keep her mind in check. When a mysterious man enters the scene, she hopes she can convince him to help her make it to the quarantine border. With the world crumbling around her, Karis discovers her inner strength but may find that she needs people after all.

Excerpt
“I stayed there a bit longer watching her. I felt like she was mine all of a sudden, and all I could think about was that soon, she would be gone too. I went up to the roof to get some air and clear my head of all the doom and gloom camping out there. The sky was thick with dense fog. I couldn’t see anything, no lights or buildings, no bridges or rivers. It was just me in the night. I felt completely alone, surrounded only by the impenetrable mist blanketing my skin like feral whispers. I closed my eyes and let every hidden emotion flow through me. I didn’t hold anything back. It was overwhelming but necessary. I wrapped my arms around my waist and hugged myself, trying to squeeze out every last drop. My body shook from the cold. I let a strangled scream out into the night. “I’m still here!” I cried until I had no air left in my lungs. I didn’t care if anyone heard.”
