"With Mortal Tether, Jarrett has nailed it - and has raised the bar for YA science fiction writers everywhere! Set in a small town following a world-wide, extinction-level event, this apocalyptic story grips readers from the very first pages and propels us through terrifying and heart-pounding adventures. We follow the heroic exploits of a young Boricua protagonist, Amaia, who is thrust into a nightmarish and vicious world of the undead against her will. She digs deep for her courage - and grows up overnight, proving her mettle while matching wits and bravery with her older contemporaries. It is a story of victory, and Jarrett deftly weaves tension-fraught themes reminiscent of Golding's Lord of the Flies where tribalism runs riot, against a subtle backdrop of an evolving religious awareness by the main characters. Once "bitten," you won't be able to put this book down!"

- Michael Fletcher - Author of To Hunt a Holy Man

"MORTAL TETHER is a pulse-pounding, edge-of-your-seat fantasy that draws you in and won't let go until you turn the final page. As the Plague of Ashes descends, Amaia is orphaned but resolve and unwavering faith spur her on an unpredictable and perilous journey that redefines the ties that formulate the meaning of family. This compelling novel belongs at the top of your reading list!"

- Karen Neary Smithson - Award-Winning Author of Death in Disguise

"Conventional tropes need not apply! 'Mortal Tether' is an electrifyingly original debut that is paced like an anxious doomsday clock. If you're searching for a powerful new voice in literature, just follow Candice Jarrett. She knows the neighborhood."

- David Buzan - Award-Winning Author of In the Lair of Legends
