Beauty Never Dies Chronicles 1: Slumber

4.3 out of 5 stars (804)

Thousands of copies sold. Millions of pages read. Topped the Teen Dystopian charts for months.

There is no such thing as happily ever after.

Everything Charlotte Winston thought she knew has been thrown out the window. From the moment she opens her eyes, the world she remembered ceases to exist, and in its place is a post-apocalyptic realm filled with unimaginable dangers. And one very smoking hot guy who has an uncanny ability to make her blood sing, then boil in a blink of an eye.

Dash Darhk is everything her parents would hate. He’s six feet and two inches of dark temptation and a killer smile, that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in his wake. But her parents are nowhere to be found. Charlotte is alone in this new world. Destroyed by a toxic mist, the land isn’t the only thing altered, but the inhabitants as well.

As Charlotte begins the hunt for her family, gifts she’s never fathom awake inside her. And with the gifts come problems. Enormous ones. Charlotte is running out of options and places to hide. If she can’t figure out who to trust—and fast—she will lose more than her heart.

This is the series you've been waiting for. Scroll up & click the buy button now to find out why readers all over the world have fallen in love with Slumber! For fans of Hunger Games, The 100, and Divergent.

"Book hangover alert: Dash edition!" -Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★

"I have enjoyed J.L. Weil's books and was excited to read Slumber. I had read the blurb and was excited to see the Hunger Games and Divergent mentioned. This book definitely has the same feels, but with a paranormal twist."
