Killer's Instinct
Authors: Dawn Dalton & Judith GravesGenre: YA Paranormal
Publisher: Leap Books
Description:
Where there is NO life – there’s HOPE.
Hope sees beyond the veil to where the dead walk among the living — creepy flashes from a never-ending macabre dream. But when her mother crawls from the grave and her zombified corpse goes MIA, Hope’s last thread of normal snaps with a vengeance.
Enrolling in a militia-style school for monster hunters seems her best bet for tracking down Mommy-dearest and putting what’s left of her mom to rest. But does Hope have a true killer’s instinct? The stakes are raised when she’s partnered with three unique male recruits, each with their own personal demons to slay if they want to survive basic training. In a place like Le Manoir, all bets are off.
Praise for KILLER’S INSTINCT:
“What could be creepier than hunting down
your own zombie mommy? And what could be more psychologically
satisfying to a teen because…it’s just pretend. Isn’t it? I wanted to
squeeze my eyes shut tight and turn away from the sublimely dark and
smart Killer’s Instinct. But how could I? A single page in, I was
hooked.” — Jacqueline Mitchard, author of What We Lost in the Dark and The Deep End of the Ocean
“Killer’s Instinct by Dawn
Dalton and Judith Graces is a clever and fast-paced thriller that raises
the bar for monster-hunting tales. Nuanced and well-crafted, this novel
is told from the points of view of four distinctly defined young
characters—Hyde, the hulk in sheep’s clothing; Kain, the wild card;
Caddoc, the unit jock; and Hope, both gifted and cursed with a sixth
sense. Hope’s inner strengths and compassion make her a fitting role
model for teenage readers, yet her vulnerability renders her a
satisfyingly sympathetic heroine. Killer’s Instinct is going to knock
other YA monster-battling books off the shelves.” — Gary Braver,
bestselling and award-winning author of Tunnel Vision
“Hope sees dead people. It’s her greatest
weapon and her ultimate curse. After the death of her father and her
mother rising from the grave as a mindless corpse, Hope joins an elite
fighting team at Le Manoir, a group of teens trained to deal with all
manner of paranormal spooks and baddies. She wants to find what’s left
of her mother and put her to rest, but first, she needs to learn how —
and she might need some help along the way. Hope is a wonderful heroine,
smart savvy, and good with a gun: my favorite kind of kick-asser! The
other members of the team kept me on my toes, never quite sure who I
could trust and what their true motivations were.” — Sherry Ficklin,
author of the Gods of Fate series
