Bone & Marrow - by A Janae Diminick (Paperback)

About the Book

In book two of this zombie series, a group of survivors continue to fight hordes of the infected, while also building a life amongst it. Bone & Marrow is a brutal post-apocalyptic story of survival, sacrifice, and monstrous evolution.

Book Synopsis

Bone & Marrow begins just one week after an announcement fractures what little stability exists within Siegfried Manor. What once felt like the start of something sustainable begins to splinter under the weight of shifting responsibilities, growing dependence on one another, and the unrelenting pressure of a world full of monsters that never rest. Survival no longer hinges on avoiding the dead, but on what it means to endure together as the loss of companions continues to mount and the cost of living grows heavier by the day.

No longer a position of authority, leadership has become a burden for Audrey, Daniel, and James. As they attempt to navigate a life none of them chose, love and loyalty look different for each of them. Devastating lies surface, leaving Daniel rejected, Audrey displaced, and James withdrawn. What began as desire twists into something far more volatile: a bond defined by obsession, control, and dangerous attachment.

Sanctuaries are built and alliances form, yet the infected prove to be only part of the threat. Cracking the surface of the apocalypse, dark secrets reveal an origin rooted in scientific hubris, myth-inspired experimentation, and a virus that mutates in unexpected and horrifying ways. Violence is constant, bones are crushed, skulls are split, and human hands are left drenched in blood. And if one listens close enough, something else calls in the distance...

Bone & Marrow is the second book in a new adult post-apocalyptic urban fantasy series with elements of horror and dark romance. It is a character-driven story about leadership and loss, found family and forbidden longing, and the thin line between the living and the dead. Perfect for readers who enjoy The Walking Dead, The Last of Us, Station Eleven, and The Originals, Bone & Marrow is not a tale of saving the world, but of learning how to live in it once it collapses.
