Ashes (Teen Top 10)

Alex, Tom, and Ellie join forces after an electromagnetic pulse sweeps through the sky. The pulse kills most of the world’s population and destroys all computer devices, but it also turns some who remain into zombies or gives them superhuman senses.

This is a gritty, post-apocalyptic story that will not appeal to everyone. But if you do like to occasionally read about a future-gone-bad (yes, like Hunger Games) then Ashes may be for you.
