The phone disconnected as my father called with an ominous warning. Now he's vanished... 

I am James Blake, the daughter of disgraced epidemiologist, Dr. James Blake. I was stunned when my friends started falling ill to the same virus that ruined my father’s career. With the deadly pathogens spreading, the CDC issues an emergency quarantine that traps all of us at the lake. 

That's when I learn The Kill List is real. 

There is a cure for the virus but it requires a rare type of blood. The names of the carriers have been compiled on a classified government document. Any hope of saving my best friend, and countless other lives, depends on me acquiring that list. 

One person I know can help. My old love, Brock Sutherland, the son of the governor—who is rumored to have a copy of The Kill List. Can we push aside our disgreements to survive the epidemic? Or will the dark secrets we're both hiding tear us apart?

Blood Republic is the first book in the Blood Republic epidemic survial thriller series.
