Cold Blood

By S.J. Wills

Book Overview

Sel struggles to adjust to his new normal as an insidious new illness threatens Tremorglade in this edge-of-your-seat third book in the Bite Risk trilogy that's The Last Kids on Earth meets Stranger Things.

Sometimes the cure is worse than the sickness, and the only thing that spreads faster than a fever is suspicion...

Sel Archer and his friends just saved Tremorglade. Again. But Sel didn't walk away completely unscathed this time. Now he has exciting but dangerous new Ripper abilities to keep on a leash, just as clamors for a cure to the Rippocalypse begin to grow louder by the day.

But when the hunt for a cure takes a dangerous turn, suddenly the Frozen Fever isn't just a myth. It's real...and it's spreading. Sel and his friends will have to act fast to stop it before it arrives in Tremorglade, and his new abilities just might be the answer. Not everyone agrees, though, and when the Town of the Turned turns on him, will anyone listen in time to be saved from transforming into something much worse than a Ripper?
