Where there is NO life - there's Hope... Hope has always been a bit of a freak. But when her mother crawls from her grave and her undead 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 mother to rest. But 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. But does Hope have a true killer's instinct? If she finds her mother, will she have the guts to do what must be done to save her soul? In a place like Le Manoir, all bets are off. ___ "What could be creepier than hunting down your own zombie mommy?....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 is going to knock other YA monster-battling books off the shelves." Gary Braver, bestselling and award-winning author of Tunnel Vision
Author
Dawn Dalton wrote her first monster book at the age of eight when she discovered writing about them was way less scary than looking for the beasties under her bed. Since then, she's still leery of things that go bump in the night, but she'd like to think her creepy storytelling skills have improved. After earning a degree in Journalism, Dawn ventured into communications, marketing, and public relations. But her heart has always belonged to fiction. Though she'll always be a BC, girl, Dawn now lives in Edmonton, Alberta with her husband, teenage stepdaughter and three bullmastiff hounds. You know, just skulking around. Dawn also writes adult thriller and paranormal fiction under the last name IUS.
