Ashes Trilogy series.
In this trilogy-ender, Alex is still battling nature, herself, the humans who have turned into monsters, and the other "normal" humans whose ethics seem rather monstrous as well. Tom and Ellie are still separated from Alex, each struggling to survive. There are few wasted scenes and ample chances to say goodbye to these beleaguered characters.

Ashes Trilogy series.
Alex (Ashes), still on the edge of sanity and survival, fights the zombies created by a cataclysmic electromagnetic pulse; avoids the creepy powers that sent her into the wilderness; and searches for her missing love. Dystopian and apocalypse buffs, as well as fans of the earlier novel, will enjoy this well-developed look at how the end of the world could play out.
