In the wake of unspeakable tragedy, 17 year old Liv Larson is crushed by the news that she and her brother are being sent to separate foster homes. From that moment on, she lives with a single-minded determination to get him back, even if it means shutting out the rest of the world in the process. After months of solitude and anti-social behavior, Liv's best friend Riley drags her to a Rooftop Viewing party for Icarus, the once in a lifetime solar flare event. That night, Liv finds herself inexplicably drawn to Zander James, a mysterious boy with a crooked smile and bright copper eyes which hide his own pain. For the first time in months, Liv's troubles feel a bit less overwhelming-that is until what should have been a small flare, erupts into a massive solar storm, forcing Liv and the others to seek shelter in the school's basement. With no way out and no sign of rescue, the kids must find a way to survive the sweltering heat and lingering radiation, while a mysterious and deadly virus finds an ideal host among them. Fear and loss take hold and the group divides as alliances are formed and battle lines drawn. Soon, Liv and her new friends must set out on a perilous journey through the unknown to save their loved ones, find answers, and reach salvation...But, something sinister awaits in the dark-and it's undeniably connected to Liv. Will Liv be able to keep her promise and reunite with her brother? What will she and her friends be willing to do to survive? Will bravery and determination be enough to save them all from a rogue government, a terrifying virus, and the things that go bump in the night............Or was Icarus, indeed, the KILLSHOT?

A heart-stopping journey into a dangerous new world that takes on dystopian without going zombie, Killshot blends science fiction with natural disaster and astronomically bad luck...Bursting with explosions, immense heat, and bloodshed, Killshot is a survivalist's dream read." - Jordan, YA Book Madness Blog "Aria writes Brilliantly...The descriptions are fabulous and you feel every trauma that they suffer." -Claire at Bare Naked Words "Rarely do I read Young Adult literature, much less Dystopian YA. But I can honestly say, I'm SO glad that I did. Everything about this book is fantastic....Liv, Zander, Jake, Felisha, Rily, Micah...they are so multi-faceted. Their descriptions, the dialogue between them, its like you are right in the sweltering basement of the high school with them, waiting for the end." -Author M.A. Stone
