Nadie despierta pensando que ese día tendrá que enfrentarse al fin del mundo. Pero, a medida que los pacientes se agolpan en la sala de urgencias del hospital en el que trabaja, Scarlet debe comenzar a aceptar que la plaga europea sobre la que las noticias venían informando ha llegado a Estados Unidos ... y que, a partir de ese viernes, ya nada será igual. Es lo mismo que descubre Nathan mientras corre con su hija pequeña por unas calles infestadas de zombis, donde cualquier esquina puede esconder el mordisco que conduzca a una muerte terrible. Y lo que constata Miranda en su huida por carretera camino del refugio donde todos ellos habrán de coincidir: la cabaña de Red Hill.

When the world ends, can love survive? For Scarlet, raising her two daughters alone makes fighting for tomorrow an everyday battle. Nathan has a wife, but can't remember what it's like to be in love; only his young daughter Zoe makes coming home worthwhile. Miranda's biggest concern is whether her new VW Bug is big enough to carry her sister and their boyfriends on a weekend escape from college finals. When reports of a widespread, deadly "outbreak" begin to surface, these ordinary people face extraordinary circumstances and suddenly their fates are intertwined. Recognizing they can't outrun the danger, Scarlet, Nathan, and Miranda desperately seek shelter at the same secluded ranch, Red Hill. Emotions run high while old and new relationships are tested in the face of a terrifying enemy--an enemy who no longer remembers what it's like to be human. Set against the backdrop of a brilliantly realized apocalyptic world, love somehow finds a way to survive. But what happens when the one you'd die for becomes the one who could destroy you? Red Hill grabs you from page one and doesn't let go until its stunning conclusion. This is #1 New York Times bestselling author Jamie McGuire at her unforgettable best.
