Unforsaken / Sophie Littlefield / 277 pages

Hailey is a healer.  Her ancestors came from Ireland and became known as the Banished.  The women were healers and the men were seers.  They had settled in a small Missouri town and over the years their gifts were diluted as they married outside the clan.  Hailey and her Aunt Prairie and her friend Kaz remained pure.  Unfortunately, a ruthless man developed a scheme to turn newly dead soldiers into zombies using a healer's touch at the moment of death.  Chub, Hailey's adoptive brother, is kidnapped by the ruthless man's second in command to force Hailey to join his scheme - to repopulate his family of purebreds.  If the zombies are released from the lab, it could mean the apocalypse, the end of the world.  Can Hailey and Kaz stop them?
